TRYPSIN+BROMELAINS+RUTOSIDE+PAPAIN belongs to the class of medications called ‘analgesics’ used to treat pain associated with various conditions. It is used in the treatment of pain, swelling and inflammation associated with chronic (long-term) conditions such as 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 can also relieve acute (short-term) pain such as toothache, ear pain, throat pain, muscle ache, and backache.
TRYPSIN+BROMELAINS+RUTOSIDE+PAPAIN combines four medicines: Trypsin, Bromelains, Rutoside, and Papain. Trypsin, Papain and Bromelain are enzymes and have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. They reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation by increasing the blood supply to the affected area. It can also promote healing. Rutoside is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. It prevents further swelling and inflammation by neutralizing the chemicals (free radicals) that cause cell damage.
TRYPSIN+BROMELAINS+RUTOSIDE+PAPAIN should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. In some cases, TRYPSIN+BROMELAINS+RUTOSIDE+PAPAIN may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, indigestion, heartburn, stomach upset, diarrhoea, headache, flushing (skin reddening), and skin rash. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor immediately.
Do not take TRYPSIN+BROMELAINS+RUTOSIDE+PAPAIN if you are allergic to NSAIDs or any other contents of it. TRYPSIN+BROMELAINS+RUTOSIDE+PAPAIN should not be used in patients with a history of stomach ulcers, active stomach ulcers or bleeding, or stomach problems due to NSAIDs, heart, liver, kidney disease, and poor blood circulation. TRYPSIN+BROMELAINS+RUTOSIDE+PAPAIN should be used with caution in patients with ulcerative colitis (inflammation of the large intestine), other bowel disorders, porphyria ( an inherited blood disorder), bleeding disorders, asthma, other respiratory infections, hypertension (high blood pressure), history of blood clots, high cholesterol, diabetes, history of smoking, and systemic lupus erythematosus (a skin disease). TRYPSIN+BROMELAINS+RUTOSIDE+PAPAIN should also be used with caution in pregnant and breastfeeding women. TRYPSIN+BROMELAINS+RUTOSIDE+PAPAIN is not recommended for children below 12 years of age. TRYPSIN+BROMELAINS+RUTOSIDE+PAPAIN may require dose adjustments when used in elderly people. Alcohol may increase the risk of liver damage and side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. TRYPSIN+BROMELAINS+RUTOSIDE+PAPAIN may cause dizziness, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you are dizzy.

Pain: Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. It can be temporary (acute) or lifelong (chronic) in nature. Acute pain is, 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. Extreme tissue pain and inflammation caused due to sprains, strains, trauma, or post-surgery may require prolonged healing time.
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.
