Tab Triofav

Composition

Mechanism of Action

• Bromelain + Trypsin - These proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes increase blood supply to inflamed areas and stimulate production of anti-inflammatory mediators. They help break down fibrin and inflammatory exudate, thereby reducing pain and swelling.
• Rutoside (Rutin) - A bioflavonoid antioxidant that scavenges free radicals and stabilizes capillary walls, further reducing inflammation and tissue edema.

Indications (Uses)

• Post-surgical inflammation and swelling
• Post-traumatic edema (injuries, sprains, fractures)
• Osteoarthritis - joint pain and stiffness
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Ankylosing spondylitis
• Soft tissue injuries
• Degenerative musculoskeletal conditions

Dosage

• Usual dose: 1 tablet, taken orally as directed by the physician
• Can be taken with or without food
• Take regularly; do not stop unless instructed by a doctor
• Dose and duration depend on the condition being treated

Side Effects

• Nausea / upset stomach
• Diarrhea
• Allergic reactions (rare) - especially in patients allergic to pineapple (bromelain is derived from pineapple)
• Skin rash (rare)

Contraindications / Precautions

• Allergy to any component (particularly pineapple allergy for bromelain)
• Active bleeding disorders or patients on anticoagulants (bromelain has mild antiplatelet activity)
• Peptic ulcer disease (use with caution)
• Pregnancy and lactation - consult doctor before use
• Requires a prescription (Schedule H drug in India)

Drug Class

Note: If you were asking about a different brand called "Triflav" with a different composition (e.g., a UTI drug combining norfloxacin + tinidazole + flavoxate), please clarify and I'll provide details on that specific formulation. Brand names in India can be spelled similarly across different products.
