About Chimoday AP 100mg/325mg/50000AU Tablet

Chimoday AP 100mg/325mg/50000AU Tablet is a combination medicine used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, spondylosis, spondyloarthritis, and ortho-degenerative disorders. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Arthritis, also known as joint inflammation, is the tenderness and swelling of the joints. Symptoms include swelling, pain, and stiffness. 
 
Chimoday AP 100mg/325mg/50000AU Tablet is a combination of three drugs, namely: Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, and Trypsin chymotrypsin. Aceclofenac and Paracetamol work by blocking the effect of chemical messengers called prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, thereby reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Trypsin chymotrypsin breaks down the abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation, thereby reduces swelling and inflammation.
