WHAT XIAPEX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Xiapex is used for the treatment of two different conditions:
DUPUYTREN’S CONTRACTURE IN ADULT
PATIENTS WITH A PALPABLE CORD
and
PEYRONIE’S DISEASE IN ADULT MEN
.
DUPUYTREN’S CONTRACTURE
This is a disease that causes your finger(s) to bend inward. This
bending is called a contracture and is
caused by the abnormal formation of a cord containing collagen under
your skin. For many people, a
contracture causes significant difficulties with performing everyday
tasks like driving, shaking hands,
playing sports, opening jars, typing or holding objects.
PEYRONIE’S DISEASE
This is a condition where adult men have a ‘plaque’ that can be
felt and a curve to their penis. The
disease can cause a change in the shape of the erect penis due to the
abnormal build-up of scar tissue,
known as a plaque, within the stretchy fibres of the penis. The plaque
may interfere with the ability to
get a straight erection because the plaque will not stretch as much as
the rest of the penis. Men with
Peyronie’s disease may have an erection that is curved or bent.
The ac
tive substance in Xiapex is collagenase
_clostridium histolyticum_
, and this collagenase is
produced using the microorganism
_Clostri
