Trypsin: A proteolytic enzyme that breaks down proteins.Chymotrypsin: Another proteolytic enzyme that also breaks down proteins, often working synergistically with trypsin.
Reduction of inflammation and edema (swelling) associated with trauma (e.g., sprains, bruises, fractures).
Reduction of inflammation and pain following surgery.
Resolution of hematomas (blood clots).
Trypsin and chymotrypsin work by breaking down proteins involved in the inflammatory process. This reduces swelling, pain, and promotes faster healing by clearing away damaged tissue debris. They are thought to help reduce the viscosity of blood, facilitating drainage of hematomas. However, the exact mechanism of action is complex and not fully understood.
