CHYMOCOTT TAB

Chymocott tablets, labeled as “Trypsin-Chymotrypsin, Paracetamol & Aceclofenac Tablets.”

Detailed composition

The formulation contains four active components:

IngredientTypeMain roleTrypsinProteolytic enzymeHelps break down proteins and may assist in reducing inflammatory swelling/edemaChymotrypsinProteolytic enzymeHelps reduce tissue swelling and inflammation and may support recovery after injury/surgeryAceclofenacNSAIDReduces pain, inflammation and tendernessParacetamolAnalgesic/antipyreticRelieves pain and reduces fever

1. Trypsin

Trypsin is a proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzyme. In this type of formulation, it is intended to help with the inflammatory response and tissue edema.

It may be used as part of treatment for:

• Soft-tissue injuries

• Postoperative swelling

• Musculoskeletal inflammation

• Traumatic swelling

Trypsin itself is not a conventional painkiller; its role is primarily related to inflammation and swelling.

2. Chymotrypsin

Chymotrypsin is another proteolytic enzyme. It is included with trypsin because the two enzymes have complementary protein-digesting activity.

Its intended effects include:

• Helping reduce inflammatory swelling

• Reducing tissue edema

• Supporting resolution of inflammation following trauma or surgery

• Potentially facilitating recovery of injured tissues

Again, it does not work like an NSAID or paracetamol, so its purpose in the combination is different from the direct pain-relieving ingredients.

3. Aceclofenac

Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

It provides the main anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect of the combination by reducing the production of prostaglandins involved in:

• Pain

• Inflammation

• Tenderness

• Swelling

It is commonly used for conditions such as:

• Musculoskeletal pain

• Sprains and strains

• Joint pain

• Arthritis-related pain

• Back pain

• Post-traumatic pain

Potential adverse effects include gastric irritation, indigestion, nausea, abdominal discomfort, and, less commonly, gastrointestinal bleeding or kidney problems.

4. Paracetamol

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is an analgesic and antipyretic.

Its main purposes are:

• Pain relief

• Fever reduction

It complements aceclofenac because the two medications provide pain relief through different mechanisms.

An important precaution is that total daily paracetamol from all medicines should be considered. Taking another paracetamol-containing medicine at the same time can unintentionally result in an excessive dose, which can cause serious liver injury.

Why are all four combined?

The basic rationale is:

Trypsin + Chymotrypsin → swelling/inflammatory tissue component
Aceclofenac → inflammation + pain
Paracetamol → pain + fever

Thus, the combination is intended particularly for pain accompanied by inflammation and swelling, rather than simple fever or mild pain alone.

Important point about the exact strengths

The photograph you provided only shows the front of the package. It does not show the numerical strength of each ingredient. I don't want to invent those values because different manufacturers/formulations can use different strengths.

If you send me a photo of the back side of the Chymocott box or the tablet strip, I can read the exact label and give you a detailed breakdown such as:

Trypsin — ___ mg / enzyme activity
Chymotrypsin — ___ mg / enzyme activity
Aceclofenac — ___ mg
Paracetamol — ___ mg
Excipients — ___
Manufacturer — ___

I can also explain each ingredient's mechanism, indications, dosage, contraindications, drug interactions, side effects, and whether it should be taken before or after food.
