About Chymozip Plus Tablet

Chymozip Plus 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. 
 
Chymozip Plus 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.
 
You are advised to take Chymozip Plus Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain 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 if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Chymozip Plus Tablet may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. Chymozip Plus Tablet is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol with Chymozip Plus Tablet as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness; it might also increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects/interactions.
