I was prescribed Santyl on a Friday with a ulcer on my pinky toe having a small ulcer from wearing a pair of shoes that were to small according to my doctor. By Monday, I spent three days babying the wound applying the medication and was put on an antibiotic, by Monday the ulcer turned into twice the size as Friday. Color went from red/ yellowish using bactracin to blackish taking Santyl. On Tuesday I had to have my toe removed. Being 36 years old this has been very emotional for me. I read all of these posts because I was not sure if anyone had any other experience but I seem to be the only one. I am not sure that I will ever use this product again.

Have a pressure ulcer on 3rd toe from bunion and hammertoe. Using Santyl for 7 days,once daily . By second day, terribly painful,burning and redness. Podiatrist never warned me nor gave me any instructions on use . Asked pharmacist and was told to ask Dr. Duh!!! Each one passing the buck. Decided to soak It in warm water then use bacitracin . Did this for 2 days.ulcer is much better. No one discussed cleaning or debriding this. Pretty poor medical care so far. Looks better but each time I use Santyl ,I can't walk. How long will this last? Am trying to use this as it cost over $200. It better work but causes awful pain.

My home health nurse started using this on a decubitus ulcer on the back of my thigh after noticing the silver alginate used by the hospital was making things worse. Santyl has worked wonders with healing. I don't have any pain from it just great results. Highly recommend.
