You might have seen Chymoral Forte in your prescriptions, which is generally used to treat swelling. It consists of complex trypsin and chymotrypsin enzymes.
It is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant drug. It can reduce the swelling and pain that take place due to blood clots in the tissues. It helps in reducing severe pain and post-surgery swelling in inflamed wounds.
It improves digestion and aids the absorption of protein and nutrients in the body due to the presence of enzymes like trypsin and chymotrypsin.
Some Chymoral Forte uses are helping in the absorption of protein by breaking it into smaller portions, which ultimately relieves pain and provides an increased flow of blood to the swollen areas. It improves digestion and absorption of protein and vital nutrients in the body. It finds its use in treating the following medical conditions:
Postsurgical pain
Swollen muscle injuries
Necrotic tissues
Chronic respiratory disorders
Trauma followed by intracapsular cataract removal
Inflammatory diseases
The doctor prescribing Chymoral Forte decides on the dosage according to the patient’s requirements. Depending upon the severity of the case, the doctor may recommend two tablets three times a day. The tablet is usually given for ten days as the swelling needs to completely wane.
It is to be taken on an empty stomach for it to work more effectively. So, it is better if it is consumed a few hours before you take the food. If you have symptoms of oedema, it is best to start it immediately. You should take it as a whole on an empty stomach and not chew it. Do not break or crush it.
Like any other medicine, Chymoral Forte side effects include:
Bloating
Indigestion
Stomach pain
Abdominal pain
Diarrhoea
Skin Rash
Itching
Shortness of breath
Corneal swelling
Inflammation in the eyes
Hypersensitivity reactions
If you feel that your symptoms are getting severe, you should immediately contact your doctor.
Use of Chymoral Forte during pregnancy is not advisable as it may harm your baby. Animal tests have shown negative effects on infants during their development stage, though there is no similar proof in the case of humans. The risks must be evaluated by the doctor against their benefits before prescribing the medicine.
If you are allergic, tell your doctor about it, be it Chymoral Forte or any other related medicine.
A nursing mother should be careful as breast milk causes an allergic reaction in infants. It must be discussed with the doctor beforehand.
Heart patients can be given Chymoral Forte in small doses as per the doctor’s advice. However, they cannot be given high injectable doses. Similarly, patients whose hypertension is not under control cannot take this medicine. It results in dehydration and an increased risk of bleeding to a greater extent.
Those with kidney disorders, liver problems, or clotting issues should not take this medicine.
Missing a dose of Chymoral Forte will decrease its effect. Even if you have forgotten a dose, take it when you recall it. However, if the next dose is due in some time, do not take it. Follow the daily schedule of this medicine and do not, in any case, double the dose to balance the missed dose.
If Chymoral Forte is taken in more amounts than prescribed, then it could result in some severe side effects and will not help to treat the ongoing symptoms for which it is prescribed. It might cause
Dizziness
Nausea
Vomiting
Headache, etc.
You should immediately talk to your doctor in the case of an overdose.
Chymoral Forte, if exposed to air, heat, or light, may deteriorate due to some chemical changes. Taking this deteriorated medicine will have harmful effects on the body.
Hence, it must be kept in a dry and clean place that is safe and is out of the reach of children, at room temperature
You can take Chymoral Forte with painkillers, subject to medical advice and supervision.
If you take Chymoral Forte with other medicines like Warfarin, Heparin, Clopidogrel, or other anticoagulant medicines, then the risk of bleeding is increased. When taken with antibiotics like penicillin, chloramphenicol, etc., there could be severe side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, and diarrhoea.
Hence, if it is necessary to take the above-mentioned medicines or any other medicines with Chymoral Forte, consult your doctor first for alternatives.
