Buy Pulmozyme Online

(Doranase Alfa)

The active ingredient in Pulmozyme is dornase alfa. Pulmozyme is a recombinant DNase enzyme in the drug class known as mucolytic medications. It works to improve pulmonary function by breaking down DNA in the pulmonary secretions of people with cystic fibrosis. It will make mucus looser and easier to cough up, so you breathe better and it reduces the risk of respiratory tract infections requiring injectable antibiotics.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Pulmozyme. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Pulmozyme:
