Pulmozyme (dornase alfa)

PULMOZYME is used to help people who have cystic fibrosis (CF).  CF is a hereditary disease in which secretions, mainly of the lung  passages and pancreas, are affected. However, PULMOZYME is not a cure for this disease. PULMOZYME contains dornase alfa which is an enzyme.  This enzyme is almost identical to the one that is found in people without CF. Enzymes are naturally occurring proteins that carry out normal processes in nature. Humans have hundreds of enzymes to help the body function properly.  The enzyme in PULMOZYME breaks down a substance (DNA) contained in lung secretions (mucous). Cystic fibrosis patients have too much of  this substance.
