How it works
Phaster-CH Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Aceclofenac, Paracetamol and Trypsin Chymotrypsin. 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.
