Enzictra DS Tablet is used to treat pain, swelling and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (joint pain, especially in the knees, hip, hands, neck, and lower back) and rheumatoid arthritis (joint pain, especially in the hands and feet). It may also be used to provide relief from a toothache, ear pain, throat pain, muscle ache, and backache.

Enzictra DS Tablet contains Trypsin, Bromelain, Rutoside, and Papain. Trypsin, Papain and Bromelain reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation by increasing the blood supply to the affected area and promoting healing. Rutoside prevents further swelling and inflammation by neutralizing the chemicals (free radicals) that cause cell damage.

• Do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase the joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching, low impact aerobic exercises like walking on the treadmill, bike riding, and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscles by lifting light weights.
• In the chronic conditions of arthritis or joint pain, try to include fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that minimize levels of chemicals called cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.
• Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible, and only for a short duration of time. Long-term immobility is harmful in conditions like arthritis. Use back support like a rolled-up towel at the back of your spine curve to minimize pain. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can also use a footrest if required.

Pain: Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. It can be temporary (acute) or lifelong (chronic). Acute pain lasts for a short time, caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or organs. While chronic pain lasts lifelong and can occur due to severe inflammation or tissue damage, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid 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 of 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, deformities, and loss of joint function.
