  • Injuries, such as sprains, strains, and bruises.
  • Surgical procedures, including post-operative inflammation and swelling.
  • Arthritis-related conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
  • Infections.
  • Other pain conditions such as back pain, menstrual cramps, headaches, and toothaches. It aids in faster healing by improving blood circulation and reducing fluid buildup.

• Dosage and Administration: Enzoheal Tablet should be taken orally as directed by a healthcare professional. The typical dosage is one tablet two to three times a day, with or without food.

For optimal results, it should be taken at a consistent time daily, ideally an hour before or two hours after a meal with plenty of fluids.

The composition can vary, with some formulations containing Bromelain, Trypsin, and Rutoside, while others, like ENZOHEAL D, also include Diclofenac.

Here are some frequently asked questions about ENZOHEAL:

What is ENZOHEAL used for?

ENZOHEAL is used to alleviate pain and inflammation associated with various conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, sprains, injuries, bone fractures, and post-operative pain and swelling. It can also provide relief from fever, muscle pain, back pain, toothache, and pain in the ear and throat.

How does ENZOHEAL work?

ENZOHEAL works by combining the actions of its components. Bromelain and Trypsin are enzymes that increase blood supply to the affected area and help the body produce substances that fight pain and swelling. Rutoside acts as an antioxidant, protecting the body from damage by chemicals (free radicals) and further reducing swelling. If the medication is ENZOHEAL D, it also contains Diclofenac, which lowers the levels of chemical substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation.

What is the usual dosage?

The dosage and duration of ENZOHEAL should be taken exactly as advised by your doctor. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of ENZOHEAL can include nausea, vomiting, heartburn, diarrhea, loss of appetite, indigestion, abdominal pain, and headache. Some individuals may also experience dizziness or blurred vision. Most side effects are temporary; however, if any persist or worsen, it is important to consult your doctor.

Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

ENZOHEAL D Tablet is generally considered unsafe during pregnancy as there is evidence of risk to the developing baby, primarily due to Bromelain. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctors before using this medicine. Information regarding the use of ENZOHEAL Tablet (without Diclofenac) during breastfeeding is not readily available, so consultation with a doctor is advised.

Can it be taken with other medications?

ENZOHEAL may interact with certain medications. For instance, if you are taking anticoagulants like warfarin or heparin, or antiplatelet medications like aspirin, ENZOHEAL could enhance their effects, increasing the risk of bleeding. It may also increase the levels of some antibiotics, such as doxycycline or tetracycline, leading to adverse effects. Always inform your doctor about all other medicines, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, that you are taking.

What precautions should be taken?

Before taking ENZOHEAL, inform your doctor if you have any problems with your heart, kidneys, liver, or a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding disorders. Patients with known allergies to painkillers (NSAIDs) or any components of ENZOHEAL should avoid its use. It is also advised to avoid alcohol consumption while on this medication as it may increase the risk of stomach irritation and other side effects. If you are scheduled for surgery, your doctor may advise you to stop taking ENZOHEAL at least two weeks prior to avoid increased bleeding risk.

What happens if a dose is missed?

If you miss a dose of ENZOHEAL, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.

How should it be stored?

ENZOHEAL should be kept in its original packaging, tightly closed. Store it at room temperature, ideally below 30 degrees Celsius, in a cool and dry place, protected from moisture and light. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
