Ambezim G is an oral combination drug primarily classified as a Systemic anti-inflammatory enzyme preparation. Its active components are the International Nonproprietary Names (INN) Chymotrypsin and Trypsin, two highly specific proteolytic enzymes. The strategic combination of these components is distinctive within this therapeutic category.
Both components belong to the large family of Serine Proteases, which are naturally occurring enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of proteins (proteolysis). These ingredients are derived biological products used pharmaceutically to exert systemic effects. These enzyme combinations are utilized to address various inflammatory conditions, focusing on the reduction of edema and tissue swelling. This anti-edematous property is recognized across pharmacological studies.
The preparation is provided in the form of an enteric-coated tablet, a crucial design feature for oral administration. The specialized coating protects the sensitive proteolytic enzymes from degradation by the stomach's high acidity, ensuring they are delivered intact to the small intestine for absorption. The general therapeutic purpose of Ambezim G is the modulation of the inflammatory response. This class of enzymes is characterized by fibrinolytic properties, which support the clearance of cellular debris and exudates associated with inflammation. This mechanism ensures that the drug can support the natural resolution of acute soft tissue swelling and fluid retention, for example, after trauma or minor surgical procedures.
