⚡ Quick Answer — What is Chymoral Forte?
Chymoral Forte is an enteric-coated oral tablet containing a combination of trypsin and chymotrypsin — proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes used for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-oedema effects. It is commonly prescribed as an adjunct in post-surgical inflammation, post-traumatic swelling, soft-tissue injuries, and sinusitis/pharyngitis. Usual adult dose is one tablet three to four times daily, on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes before food). The enteric coating is essential — the enzymes are destroyed by stomach acid.

Chymoral Forte is a widely prescribed proteolytic-enzyme preparation manufactured by Elder Pharmaceuticals. Each enteric-coated tablet contains a standardised blend of trypsin and chymotrypsin — proteolytic enzymes derived from bovine pancreas — typically expressed as 100,000 Armour units of combined enzymatic activity.
Systemic (oral) enzyme therapy is based on the observation that a fraction of orally-administered proteolytic enzymes is absorbed intact through the small intestine and distributes to tissues, where the enzymes break down inflammatory mediators, fibrin, and pro-inflammatory complexes. In Germany, Japan, and India it is used alongside NSAIDs or as a stand-alone agent for inflammation with marked oedema; in Anglo-American medical practice, use is less widespread and the evidence base is more debated.
What Is Chymoral Forte Used For?
- Post-operative inflammation, oedema, and haematoma — ENT, maxillofacial, orthopaedic, and gynaecological surgery
- Post-traumatic swelling — sprains, contusions, haematomas, crush injuries
- Sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis — adjunct to antibiotic therapy
- Dental and maxillofacial inflammation — after extraction, implant, or periodontal surgery
- Superficial thrombophlebitis and localised haematoma
- Soft-tissue sports injuries — as adjunct to RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) and NSAIDs
- Chronic fibrocystic breast disease (off-label)
How Does Chymoral Forte Work?
The proteolytic enzymes act in several ways:
- Fibrinolytic activity — breaking down fibrin in inflammatory exudate, which reduces the viscosity of local oedema and supports lymphatic drainage of swelling
- Direct degradation of inflammatory mediators — including bradykinin, complement fragments, and certain pro-inflammatory cytokines
- Immunomodulatory effect — normalising local tissue inflammation by breaking down immune complexes
- Mucolytic action — reducing the viscosity of mucus in upper respiratory inflammation
Chymoral Forte Dosing
- Adults: one tablet three to four times daily
- Timing (critical): take on an empty stomach — at least 30 minutes before a meal, or 1 hour after a meal. Enzyme absorption is greatly reduced by food in the stomach
- Swallow whole: the enteric coating protects the enzymes from stomach acid. Do not chew, crush, or open the tablet; this will destroy the active ingredients before they can be absorbed
- Duration: typically 5 to 10 days for post-surgical or post-traumatic indications; longer courses for chronic fibrocystic conditions under medical supervision
Who Should Not Take Chymoral Forte?
- Known hypersensitivity to trypsin, chymotrypsin, or any bovine-derived enzyme preparation
- Bleeding disorders or on anticoagulant therapy (warfarin, DOACs) — theoretical bleeding risk from fibrinolytic activity
- Active peptic ulcer
- The 1–2 weeks before and after major surgery — unless specifically cleared by the surgical team
- Severe liver or kidney disease
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding — limited data; avoid unless clearly needed
Bijwerkingen
Chymoral Forte is usually very well tolerated.
- Minder vaak voorkomend: mild gastrointestinal upset (nausea, heartburn), mild diarrhoea, skin rash, change in stool odour or colour
- Zeldzaam: allergic reaction (bovine-origin hypersensitivity), anaphylaxis, bleeding in patients on anticoagulants
If you notice unusual bruising, bleeding gums, blood in stools or urine, or an allergic rash — stop the tablet and seek medical advice.

Veelgestelde vragen
What is Chymoral Forte used for?
Chymoral Forte (trypsin + chymotrypsin) is used as an adjunct for post-surgical inflammation, post-traumatic oedema, soft-tissue injuries, and upper respiratory inflammation such as sinusitis and pharyngitis.
Should I take Chymoral Forte before or after food?
Always on an empty stomach — at least 30 minutes before a meal or 1 hour after. Food greatly reduces enzyme absorption.
Why can’t I chew or crush the tablet?
The enteric coating is what stops your stomach acid from destroying the enzymes before they are absorbed in the small intestine. Chewing or crushing the tablet breaks the coating and effectively inactivates the medicine.
How long does Chymoral Forte take to work?
Anti-oedema effect on post-surgical or post-traumatic swelling usually becomes noticeable within 2 to 3 days of starting therapy, with peak effect at 5 to 7 days.
Can I take Chymoral Forte with an NSAID?
Yes — the two classes are often combined. The NSAID reduces prostaglandin-driven inflammation; the enzymes reduce oedema and fibrin load. Commercial combination products also exist.
Can I take Chymoral Forte with blood thinners?
Generally not recommended. Proteolytic enzymes have theoretical fibrinolytic activity that could raise bleeding risk when combined with warfarin, dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban, or high-dose aspirin. Discuss with your doctor.
Is Chymoral Forte safe to take before surgery?
No — avoid in the 1–2 weeks before elective surgery unless your surgeon has specifically approved it, because of the theoretical bleeding effect.
How long should I take Chymoral Forte?
5 to 10 days is typical for post-surgical or post-traumatic use. Chronic use should be reviewed by your doctor.
Does Chymoral Forte contain animal products?
Yes — the enzymes are bovine-derived (from cattle pancreas). This may matter for patients with religious or dietary restrictions.
Is Chymoral Forte the same as serratiopeptidase (Emanzen Forte)?
Both are proteolytic enzyme therapies but the source is different. Chymoral Forte contains trypsin and chymotrypsin (from pig/bovine pancreas). Serratiopeptidase (Emanzen Forte) is a bacterial enzyme from Serratia marcescens. They have overlapping but not identical mechanisms.
Is Chymoral Forte safe in pregnancy?
Data are limited and it is generally avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding unless a doctor considers it necessary.
Chymoral Forte delivers trypsin-chymotrypsin to ease inflammation and bruising, while Hynidase Injection (hyaluronidase 1500 IU) offers a different enzyme mechanism — dissolving hyaluronic acid to aid fluid dispersion, drug penetration and reabsorption of localised swelling after injections or trauma.

How long does Chymoral Forte take to work, and what should you actually expect?
Chymoral Forte is an enteric-coated proteolytic enzyme (trypsin + chymotrypsin) tablet used for inflammation, oedema and bruising after surgery, dental work, sports injury or trauma. The enteric coating is critical — without it, stomach acid digests the enzymes before they can be absorbed. Take whole, on an empty stomach (1 hour before food or 2 hours after), with a full glass of water.
| Indicatie | Typical onset of relief | Course length |
|---|---|---|
| Post-surgical oedema / bruising | 24–72 hours | 5–7 days |
| Soft-tissue sports injury | 2–4 days | 7–10 days |
| Post-dental extraction swelling | 1–3 days | 3–5 days |
| Cellulitis / phlebitis adjunct | 2–5 days (with antibiotic) | 7–10 days |
Chymoral Forte is an adjunct, not a primary therapy. For pain, you still need an analgesic (paracetamol or NSAID); for infection you still need an antibiotic. Chymoral Forte’s job is to speed reabsorption of the inflammatory exudate that causes the visible swelling, bruise discolouration and tissue tightness.
Chymoral Forte vs other proteolytic enzymes — when to use which
| Product | Active enzyme | Strength angle | Beste voor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chymoral Forte | Trypsin 50 mg + chymotrypsin 6 mg | Dual enzyme, decades of use, broad coverage | Routine post-surgical / post-trauma swelling |
| Emanzen Forte | Serratiopeptidase 10 mg | Single agent, smaller tablet, vegetarian-friendly | Sinusitis, mild post-dental, fibrocystic breast disease |
| Nucoxia SP | Etoricoxib 60 mg + serratiopeptidase 15 mg | NSAID + enzyme combo (analgesic + anti-oedema) | Pain AND swelling together — saves a tablet |
Why does Chymoral Forte cost more than basic ibuprofen?
Trypsin and chymotrypsin are protein-purified pancreatic enzymes — manufacturing requires fermentation or animal-source extraction with strict purification. NSAIDs are simple chemical syntheses. The enzyme itself is more expensive raw material. The clinical justification is that Chymoral Forte attacks a different mechanism (reabsorption of inflammatory exudate) than NSAIDs (reduction of cyclooxygenase-driven prostaglandins) — they complement each other rather than substitute.
When NOT to use Chymoral Forte
- Active bleeding or bleeding disorder — proteolytic enzymes can mildly increase bleeding tendency. Stop 7 days before any planned surgery (see your surgeon).
- On warfarin or DOACs — relative contraindication; INR may rise. Discuss with prescriber.
- Actieve maagzweer — risk of GI bleeding.
- Zwangerschap en borstvoeding — limited data; avoid unless specifically advised.
