What is Chymoral Forte 100s?
Chymoral Forte is a highly effective proteolytic enzyme preparation used in Nigeria to manage swelling and inflammation. Each enteric-coated tablet contains Trypsin and Chymotrypsin, totaling 100,000 Armour Units (AU) of enzymatic activity.
This 100-tablet pack is typically used for extended recovery periods or in hospital settings. It works by breaking down abnormal proteins and fluids at the site of an injury, which helps reduce edema (swelling) and improve blood circulation for faster healing.
What is Chymoral Forte used for?
In Nigeria, doctors and dentists frequently prescribe Chymoral Forte for:
- Swelling after Surgery: Reduces post-operative edema and inflammation.
- Dental Swelling: Often used after tooth extractions or dental surgery.
- Accidental Injuries: Helps with sprains, fractures, and hematomas (blood clots).
- Inflammatory Conditions: Supportive treatment for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID).
Chymoral Forte Dosage: How to take it
For the best results, it is critical to follow the correct dosage and timing:
- Standard Dose: Usually 1 to 2 tablets, three times daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
- Empty Stomach: You must take Chymoral Forte on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before a meal). Taking it with food will cause the enzymes to digest your meal instead of working on the inflammation in your body.
- Do Not Crush: These are enteric-coated tablets designed to pass through the stomach safely. Swallow them whole with water.
