Drug Info for elitek
Rasburicase injection is used to treat high levels of uric acid (a natural substance that builds up in the blood as tumors break down) in people with certain types of cancer who are being treated with chemotherapy medications. Rasburicase injection is in a class of medications called enzymes. It works by breaking down uric acid so that the body can eliminate it.
Elitek is an intravenous powder for injection that is used by cancer patients to prevent an increase in uric acid. Patients who are undergoing cancer treatment usually have increased uric acid levels. As such, Elitek reduces the occurrence of uric acid from crystallizing in the kidneys.
