How it works
Chimoday DP 50mg/325mg Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Diclofenac, Paracetamol and Trypsin Chymotrypsin which relieve pain. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and Paracetamol is an antipyretic (fever reducer). They work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and fever. Trypsin Chymotrypsin is a combination of enzymes which break down proteins into smaller fragments thereby making them available for absorption into the blood. They increase blood supply in the affected area and reduce swelling.

Avoid consuming alcohol when taking Chimoday DP 50mg/325mg Tablet as it may cause excessive drowsiness and increase the risk of liver damage. Do not take it with any other medicine containing acetaminophen (drugs for pain/fever or cough-and-cold) without asking your doctor first.
