New Hand Drug Replaces the Need for Surgery
Great news: Dupuytren's contracture, a connective tissue disease of the hands, will soon be treatable without surgery! Auxilium Pharmaceuticals' drug called Xiaflex has been approved by the FDA. The drug can be injected by a healthcare professional into the patient’s hand where the “cord” or thick tissue can be felt. Side effects include potential tendon or ligament damage, nerve injuries, and allergic reactions resulting in hives, swollen face, breathing trouble, or chest pain.
