🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine works through the combined action of bromelain and trypsin, two proteolytic enzymes. Bromelain, derived from pineapple, helps break down proteins and modulates inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and bradykinin, thereby reducing swelling and pain. Trypsin, a pancreatic enzyme, also breaks down proteins and may help clear debris from inflamed tissues. Together, they are thought to promote fibrinolysis and reduce edema. The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but they are believed to act systemically after absorption.
