Description
Tissue injury releases the chemical mediators like prostaglandin & bradykinin which causes inflammation, edema and pain. Combination of enzyme therapy is required to take care of inflammation, edema and pain.
In Eezflam, bromelain is a cysteine protease & trypsin is a serine protease. The combination of serine & cystein protease is logical, as bromelain acts on alanine, tyrosine & glycine and trypsin works on lysine & arginine.
Bromelain breaks down plasma proteins that have exuded into the extra vascular tissue, thus exerting anti-edema action. Bromelain reduces level of prostaglandin, bradykinin & proinflammatory cytokines which manifest its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect.
Trypsin exerts a fibrinolytic action, thereby opening the blocked blood vessels & lymph vessels which lead to reduction of edema and inflammation. Trypsin induces phagocytosis & removes cell debris which causes faster healing of wound.
Rutin stabilizes vascular endothelium & reduces leakage of fluid from blood vessel into the surrounding tissue, thus helping in quick resorption of edema.
Bromelain and trypsin besides being an anti-edematous anti-inflammatory agent, is also an immunomodulatory agent that breaks down excess cytokines in the vicinity of the inflammatory site, thereby reducing the intensity of the inflammation.
Together these three drugs reduce edema, inflammation and hence the pain induced by the pressure of exudates on nerve endings.
