Indications & Clinical Uses

Iruxol Mono, a collagenase enzyme, is used for enzymatic debridement of necrotic tissue in various wound types.

  • Chronic wounds: removal of necrotic tissue to promote granulation and healing.
  • Pressure ulcers: enzymatic breakdown of dead tissue to accelerate recovery.
  • Diabetic foot ulcers: facilitates debridement, supporting ulcer management.
  • Burns: assists in clearing eschar and necrotic layers for better regeneration.
  • Traumatic skin lesions: aids in selective removal of damaged tissue while preserving viable cells.

How It Works

  • Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum hydrolyzes peptide bonds in collagen and other extracellular matrix proteins. By cleaving these structural components, the enzyme selectively dissolves necrotic tissue while sparing healthy tissue, thereby promoting the formation of granulation tissue and supporting the natural wound healing cascade.

Side Effects

Local application of Iruxol may cause reactions at the treatment site.

Common Side Effects

  • Redness or erythema at the application site.
  • Mild pain or burning sensation.
  • Swelling or edema.
  • Itching or pruritus.
  • Slight bleeding or oozing.
  • Increased wound exudate.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe allergic reaction, including rash or hives.
  • Anaphylaxis requiring emergency care.
  • Cellulitis or secondary infection.
  • Deep tissue necrosis beyond intended area.
  • Systemic infection signs such as fever.
  • Persistent severe pain.

Precautions & Warnings

When using Iruxol, consider the following safety measures.

  • Assess wound suitability: ensure presence of necrotic tissue and no active infection.
  • Avoid use on healthy tissue: limit application to debridement areas only.
  • Monitor for local irritation: discontinue if severe redness or pain occurs.
  • Do not apply under occlusive dressings unless directed by a clinician.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and light.

Avoid Interactions

Iruxol may interact with other agents applied to the wound.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use with other proteolytic enzymes: may increase tissue damage.
  • Use with systemic antibiotics: no direct interaction but monitor infection status.
  • Co‑administration with immunosuppressants: may impair wound healing.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Topical corticosteroids: may reduce enzyme activity and effectiveness.
  • Anticoagulants: increased risk of bleeding at the application site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Iruxol Mono is a topical enzymatic debriding agent containing collagenase that is applied to chronic wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, burns and traumatic skin lesions to selectively remove necrotic tissue and promote healing.

The collagenase enzyme hydrolyzes collagen and other extracellular matrix proteins in necrotic tissue. By breaking down these structural proteins, it loosens and dissolves dead tissue while preserving viable cells, facilitating natural wound repair processes.

The dosage and frequency of Iruxol Mono are determined by the prescribing clinician based on wound size, depth and patient condition. No fixed regimen is provided here; the prescriber will specify the appropriate amount and application schedule.

Safety data for Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum in pregnancy or lactation are limited. Use only if the potential benefit justifies any potential risk, and the decision should be made by a qualified healthcare professional.

Submit an enquiry on the Iruxol Mono product page at gnhindia.com, indicating the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.

Iruxol provides enzymatic debridement, which is selective for necrotic tissue and can be less painful than mechanical or surgical methods. Compared with chemical agents, it offers targeted action with fewer systemic effects, though suitability depends on wound characteristics and clinical judgment.

Store Iruxol Mono at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and avoid freezing to maintain enzyme stability.

Iruxol Mono is applied topically to the wound surface. The clinician cleans the area, spreads a thin layer of the product over necrotic tissue, and may cover it with a non‑occlusive dressing as directed. Application frequency is set by the prescriber.

Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, deep tissue necrosis beyond the intended area, and secondary infections like cellulitis. Patients should be monitored for signs of systemic infection, worsening pain or extensive tissue damage.

Iruxol Mono should not be used on healthy, non‑necrotic skin, in patients with known hypersensitivity to collagenase or any formulation components, or on wounds with active uncontrolled infection unless directed by a specialist.
