Composition of the drug and active ingredients
Wobenzym contains many enzymes similar to those produced by the body. The drug is of natural origin, it is saturated with the following enzymes:
- papain,
- amylase,
- pancreatin,
- lipase,
- chymotrypsin and trypsin,
- bromelain.
Another ingredient is rutozoid, a substance from the vitamin complex that helps reduce swelling, inflammation, and helps strengthen the walls of blood vessels.
When is this drug prescribed?
An enzyme is a biologically active substance that catalyzes biochemical reactions in the body. The purposes of using the enzyme preparation are as follows:
- Prevention of the formation of adhesions.
- Relieving inflammation in the area of endometriotic growths.
- Reducing adverse reactions associated with taking hormonal drugs and antibiotics.
- Increasing local immunity.
- Reducing swelling.
- Strengthening repair mechanisms.
- Relieving pain syndrome.
- Increased antibiotic concentration in the area of the pathological focus.
- Improvement of blood clotting parameters, prevention of thrombosis.
The use of Wobenzym is indicated for the treatment of the following pathologies:
- endometriosis at any stage;
- sexually transmitted infections - trichomoniasis, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis;
- iron deficiency anemia - as a result of heavy periods;
- severe pain syndrome;
- cystic changes in the ovary;
- inflammatory gynecological diseases that accompany endometriosis (colpitis, cervicitis, adnexitis);
- adhesions in the pelvic organs.
Foreign doctors have long been using enzymes as independent preparations for the treatment of gynecological diseases. In our country, enzymes are used in most cases as an adjuvant along with antibiotics and hormones.
Reviews
Maria, 34 years old
The initial phase of endometriosis is not a death sentence when treatment is started in a timely manner. I was also diagnosed with this pathology, although I did not feel any discomfort. Only a preventative examination helped detect the problem. The doctor reassured me and assured me that at such an early stage surgery was not indicated, pills would suffice. I was very afraid to take hormones, because for me they become synonymous with mustache growth and obesity. Wobenzym was prescribed because hormones were not needed in my situation. The drug helped me, although I had not felt any discomfort before, but an ultrasound determined that the lesions had disappeared.
Mechanism of action
When entering the body, the active components of the drug are first absorbed in the intestine and then enter the systemic bloodstream. They reach the pathological focus and accumulate in it. Wobenzym has the following effects on the body:
- anti-inflammatory;
- immunomodulatory;
- decongestant;
- pain reliever;
- reduces platelet aggregation.
The components of the drug exhibit a fibrinolytic effect, that is, they destroy fibrin, the protein from which scar tissue is formed. The use of Wobenzym helps stop the formation of adhesions, which disrupt the patency of the fallopian tubes and cause infertility.
The enzymes included in the drug optimize the course of the inflammatory process and stimulate the body's own defenses. A reduction in inflammation occurs as a result of removing swelling and improving blood circulation in the area of the pathological focus, as a result of which the pain syndrome is neutralized.
The advantage of Wobenzym is its ability to improve the rheological properties of blood and prevent thrombus formation, which sometimes begins under the influence of hormonal therapy.
When receiving enzymes, red blood cells become more plastic, penetrate small vessels more easily and provide tissues with oxygen and other nutrients.
Traditionally, to treat endometriosis in women, hormonal drugs are used over a long course. Therefore, the question arises of reducing their side effects on the body; Wobenzym copes with this task. The medicine optimizes the functioning of the immune system, which neutralizes the harmful effects of substances foreign to the body.
Drug interactions
The drug generally combines well with other medications in one course, so a combination of Wobenzym plus other medications (selected depending on the nature of the disease) is usually prescribed.
However, it must be taken into account that when used simultaneously with antibiotics, Wobenzym potentiates their action through the mechanism of increasing the level of content in the plasma and the inflammatory zone.
When combined with hormonal therapy, it reduces the severity of their side effects.
Instructions for use Wobenzym recommends taking whole tablets of the drug orally (orally) half an hour before meals with 150-200 ml of water.
As a rule, the dosage regimen, as well as the duration of treatment, is determined individually, taking into account the disease itself, its severity, as well as all internal and external factors affecting the patient’s condition.
For adult patients, the range of single doses of the drug, depending on the pathology, its severity and activity, is 3-10 tablets with a mandatory dose of three times a day. Usually, during the first three days of therapy, they resort to taking 3 tablets three times every 24 hours.
For moderate painful conditions, 5-7 tablets are prescribed three times a day for 14 days. In the future, they switch to taking 3-5 tablets with the same frequency of administration. The general course of treatment is approximately 30 days.
For severe painful conditions, 7-10 tablets are prescribed three times a day for 14-21 days. Subsequently, the dosage is reduced to 5 tablets with the same frequency of administration. The general course of therapy is 2-3 months.
For chronic pathologies, Wobenzym tablets are recommended to be taken according to indications and observed symptoms, in courses of 3 to 6 months.
To potentiate the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy and prevent the formation of dysbacteriosis, a three-time daily dose of 5 tablets is recommended throughout the course of antibiotic use.
When carrying out chemotherapy and radiation therapy, it is recommended to take Wobenzym three times a day, 5 tablets throughout the entire duration of treatment, in order to improve its tolerability, prevent complications of infectious etiology and improve the overall quality of life.
To prevent various pathological processes, take the drug for 45 days, 3 tablets three times a day. This preventive course can be repeated 2-3 times a year.
Children's (5-12 years old) dosages of Wobenzym are calculated based on the proportion of 1 tablet per 6 kg of weight.
Side effects
The body tolerates the drug normally. Basically, no negative manifestations were observed. With prolonged use of the drug in large doses, no addiction was observed. Sometimes there is a slight change in the consistency and smell of stool, and a skin allergy, such as hives, appears. These effects disappear when the dose of the drug is reduced or discontinued. If you experience other consequences from using the medicine that are not included in the instructions, you should stop taking it and make an appointment with a doctor.

What makes Wobenzym different from other anti-inflammatory drugs?
Unlike non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are often used for pain relief in gynecological diseases, Wobenzym does not suppress the inflammatory reaction, but provides an adequate response of the body to the pathological process. The correct course of inflammation is impossible without a sufficient amount of enzymes - protein substances-enzymes.
Enzymes are a physiological regulator of the body's anti-inflammatory response. With each inflammation, the body's need for its own enzymes increases sharply. Chronic diseases, drug load, stress and other unfavorable factors cause enzyme deficiency, so the body cannot quickly cope with inflammation, which is quite logical.
Pharmacological properties
Wobenzym is not used as a separate drug, but is used in combination with other medications to enhance the effect of taking them and reduce the manifestation of negative consequences.
The main pharmacological properties of this drug in gynecology are expressed as follows:
- the drug breaks down the cells that retain fluid in the tissues, thus eliminating swelling;
- it softens painful sensations, inhibiting the elements that cause them;
- the product blocks the growth of tissues that are affected by inflammation, as a result of which the formation of adhesions does not occur.
The main area of application of this drug is adhesions.
