Bromelain+harpagoside+rutoside+trypsin
About Bromelain+harpagoside+rutoside+trypsin
Bromelain+harpagoside+rutoside+trypsin belongs to a class of medications called ‘Nutraceuticals,’ primarily used to treat pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disorder where the cartilage that cushions joints wears away, resulting in pain, stiffness, tenderness, and limited movement. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the joint's lining, causing pain, inflammation, swelling, and stiffness.
Bromelain+harpagoside+rutoside+trypsin contains four active ingredients: Bromelain, Harpagoside, Rutoside, and Trypsin. It has potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant effects. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from pineapple, while Harpagoside is a component of an herb called Harpagophytum procumbens (devil's claw). Both work by decreasing the production of certain chemicals (such as cytokines) in the body and breaking down proteins that cause pain and inflammation. Rutoside (or Rutin) is a natural antioxidant that helps protect the body from damage caused by free radicals (toxins), strengthens blood vessels, and reduces swelling and inflammation. Trypsin is a naturally occurring pancreatic enzyme that supports the body's natural response to inflammation. It also helps remove dead tissues, promoting the growth of new, healthy tissue.
Take Bromelain+harpagoside+rutoside+trypsin at the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor, based on your medical condition. Bromelain+harpagoside+rutoside+trypsin is generally well-tolerated, but in some cases, it may cause common side effects such as stomach upset, diarrhoea, headache, and mouth sores. Most of these side effects of Bromelain+harpagoside+rutoside+trypsin will gradually resolve over time without the need for medical attention. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Before taking Bromelain+harpagoside+rutoside+trypsin, inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, olive tree or cypress pollens, bee stings, celery, papaya, pineapple, or ragweed. Do not use Bromelain+harpagoside+rutoside+trypsin if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, unless recommended by your doctor. Additionally, tell your doctor before taking Bromelain+harpagoside+rutoside+trypsin if you have certain health conditions, such as stomach ulcers, cancer, infection, cholelithiasis (gallstones), hyponatremia (low sodium levels), bleeding or clotting problems, heart problems (such as irregular heartbeats and high blood pressure), or liver disease.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disorder in which the cartilage that cushions joints wears away, resulting in pain, swelling, stiffness, tenderness, and limited movement. It is the most common type of arthritis affecting the joints in the knees, hips, hands, and spine. A healthy weight, regular exercise, and proper treatment can slow disease progression, reduce pain, and improve joint mobility.
Rheumatoid arthritis: It is a chronic condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the joint's lining, causing pain, inflammation, swelling, and stiffness. In some cases, this condition can affect multiple body systems, including blood vessels, eyes, skin, heart, and lungs. While there is no cure, symptoms can managed with medications such as DMARDs (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs), steroids, and painkillers.
