Pharmacology
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease characterized by the retention of viscous purulent secretions in the airways. These thick secretions contribute both to reduced pulmonary function and to frequent pulmonary infection. Purulent pulmonary secretions contain very high concentrations of extracellular DNA released by degenerating leukocytes that accumulate in response to these infections. Pulmozyme hydrolyzes the DNA in sputum of CF patients and reduces sputum viscoelasticity.
