Chymin Plus Tablet

Chymin Plus Tablet is a combination medicine used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle pain, and bone and joint pain. 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. 
 
Chymin Plus Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Diclofenac and Trypsin-chymotrypsin. Diclofenac works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers called prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, thereby reducing 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 reducing swelling and inflammation.
 
Take Chymin Plus Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will decide the dosage of this medicine based on your condition. In some cases, you may experience some common side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, loss of appetite, indigestion, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Consult your doctor before taking Chymin Plus Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Chymin Plus Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Chymin Plus Tablet is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Chymin Plus Tablet as it could lead to increased dizziness; it might also increase the risk of stomach bleeding.

Chymin Plus Tablet is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle pain, and bone and joint pain. Diclofenac is an NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) which works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers called prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, thereby reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Trypsin-chymotrypsin is a combination of enzymes that breaks down the abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation, thereby reducing swelling and inflammation by increasing the blood supply at the affected area.

Pain: Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp, constant, or may come and go. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person. Pain can be generalized (overall body aches) or localized (affecting a specific area of the body). The common causes of pain include headache, muscle strain, cramps, cuts, bone fractures, and arthritis.

Osteoarthritis: It is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness.

Rheumatoid arthritis: It is an auto-immune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue), leading to joint pain and damage. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of joint function. 

Ankylosing spondylitis: It causes pain and stiffness in the spine. The pain generally starts in the lower back and can spread to the neck, damaged joints, or other body parts. Ankylosing spondylitis symptoms include decreased flexibility which usually leads to a hunched-forward posture and pain in the joints.
