📋Overview
Xiaflex is a medication that contains collagenase clostridium histolyticum, an enzyme that breaks down collagen in the body. It is primarily used in conditions where abnormal collagen buildup leads to the formation of fibrous tissue, such as Dupuytren's contracture and Peyronie's disease. These conditions involve the thickening or hardening of connective tissue, which can cause deformity or restricted movement. Xiaflex helps address the underlying collagen deposits associated with these disorders.
