About Chymobid Plus 50mg/50000IU Tablet

Chymobid Plus 50mg/50000IU 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. 
 
Chymobid Plus 50mg/50000IU Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Diclofenac and Trypsin-chymotrypsin.

Trypsin-chymotrypsin breaks down the abnormal proteins at the site of inflammation, thereby reducing swelling and inflammation.

Disease/Condition Glossary

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.
