K-Btr Tablet

K-Btr Tablet is a combination medication that belongs to a class of medication called 'analgesic' used to relieve musculoskeletal pain in the conditions of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Pain is caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or other organs for a short time (acute) or long time (chronic).  

K-Btr Tablet is a combination of one antioxidant (Rutoside) and two enzymes (Trypsin and Bromelain). Rutoside is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage, reduces toxins, protects the body from damage caused by free radicals (toxins), and decreases swelling. Trypsin removes dead skin cells and allows the growth of healthy tissue. On the other hand, Bromelain is a pineapple extract limiting fibrin formation by reducing clots or plaque at the damaged/injured site. Together it reduces swelling and inflammation by producing substances in the body against pain and swelling. Thus, K-Btr Tablet helps in relieving edema (fluid overload), inflammation and promotes wound healing.

K-Btr Tablet is a combination of one antioxidant (Rutoside) and two enzymes (Trypsin, Bromelain). Rutoside is an antioxidant (substances that prevent damage to cells) that works by protecting the body from damage caused by free radicals (unstable molecules produced by the body) and further decreases swelling. Trypsin removes dead skin cells and allows the growth of healthy tissue. In combination with Bromelain, Trypsin reduces swelling and inflammation by producing substances in the body against pain and swelling in the conditions of joint disorders like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
