Verified Ingredients and Effects

Uses:

Treatment of Pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders.

Medicinal Benefits:

Chymoflam AP Tablet 10's is a combination of three drugs, namely: Aceclofenac, Paracetamol, and Trypsin chymotrypsin. Chymoflam AP Tablet 10's is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, spondylosis, spondyloarthritis, and ortho-degenerative disorders. Aceclofenac is an NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) and Paracetamol is an analgesic. Aceclofenac and Paracetamol work 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.
