CHYMOROSS FORT TAB B/L

TRYPSIN + CHYMOTRYPSIN -40MG

CHYMOROSS FORT TAB B/L is a tablet of trypsin and chymotrypsin 40 mg, a proteolytic enzyme preparation. It is used to reduce swelling, bruising and inflammatory oedema after trauma, surgery and dental procedures, and in soft-tissue injury where the swelling itself limits function.

Benefits

  • The enzymes break down inflammatory exudate and fibrin, helping disperse swelling rather than only masking pain.
  • Reducing oedema relieves the pressure component of post-traumatic and post-surgical pain.
  • Speeds the resolution of bruising and haematoma after injury or surgery.
  • Restoring range of movement sooner allows physiotherapy and rehabilitation to begin earlier.
  • Contains no NSAID or paracetamol, so it can be added to an existing analgesic regimen without duplication.
  • Widely used after dental extraction, ENT procedures and orthopaedic surgery.

Precautions

  • Swallow whole on an empty stomach with water. Crushing or chewing destroys the enteric coating that protects the enzymes from gastric acid.
  • Avoid in patients with coagulation disorders or on anticoagulants — proteolytic enzymes may add to bleeding risk.
  • Stop before planned surgery on the surgeon's advice.
  • Contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to trypsin, chymotrypsin or pork-derived products.
  • Use with caution in severe hepatic or renal impairment, and in active peptic ulcer disease.
  • This reduces swelling; it is not an analgesic or an antibiotic, and infected swelling still needs appropriate treatment.
  • Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding only on medical advice.
