About Trypsin+bromelains+rutoside+papain
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.

Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- Do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching, low impact aerobic exercises like walking on the treadmill, bike riding, and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscles by lifting light weights.
- In chronic arthritis or joint pain, try to include fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that minimize levels of chemicals called cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.
- Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible, and only for a short duration of time. Long-term immobility is harmful in conditions like arthritis. Use back support like a rolled-up towel to minimise pain at the back of your spine curve. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can also use a footrest if required.
Special Advise
- Trypsin+bromelains+rutoside+papain may increase the heart rate. Inform your doctor about any such symptoms.
- Long-term use of Trypsin+bromelains+rutoside+papain may cause liver damage, and your doctor may advise liver function for regular monitoring of liver function.
Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
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.
