What are enzymes
Enzymes (or enzymes) are proteins that are produced by the cells of animal and plant organisms.
They play a huge role in the metabolic process. Their task is to ensure and accelerate various chemical reactions in the body. For example, during such reactions, enzymes help destroy various harmful substances or create useful new ones. A simple example, you have baking soda powder. In order to cause a reaction from it (quenching soda), vinegar is required. Without vinegar, soda cannot be quenched and carbon dioxide cannot be formed from it. Let's transfer this example to enzymes in the human body. In order for some kind of chemical reaction to occur, two substances must be combined. Enzymes are responsible for this combination. They “find” the necessary substances suitable for a chemical reaction and “push” them against each other to produce the necessary reaction.
It is now clear that without enzymes there cannot be chemical reactions, and if they are lacking, the reactions will proceed slowly and ineffectively, the body will be cluttered with unnecessary substances and will not have time to create new substances that are useful and necessary for a healthy body. Enzymes are actively involved in all processes of the human body, from digestion to metabolism. About 30 quadrillion chemical reactions occur in our bodies per second! This includes breathing, cell renewal, nervous reactions, healing processes, as well as complex processes of the immune and hormonal systems: all this is controlled by enzymes.
Pharmacological characteristics
Wobenzym is a combination of natural enzymes of plant and animal origin. Entering the body, enzymes are absorbed in the small intestine by resorption of intact molecules and, by binding to transport proteins in the blood, enter the bloodstream.
Subsequently, enzymes, migrating along the vascular bed and accumulating in the area of the pathological process, have an immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, fibrinolytic, decongestant, antiplatelet and secondary analgesic effect.
The active components of Wobenzym accelerate the resorption of hematomas and eliminate swelling, normalize the permeability of the walls of blood vessels, as well as the rheological functions of the blood. Under the influence of the enzymes contained in the tablet, the internal organs and tissues of the body are better supplied with oxygen and nutrients, which increases their performance and eliminates disorders.
In addition to all this, the components included in the drug have the following effects on the patient’s body:
- They increase the concentration of antibiotics at the site of inflammation, but at the same time reduce the risk of side effects;
- Reduce blood cholesterol levels and the risk of developing atherosclerosis;
- Stimulate the production of interferon;
- Accelerate the removal of toxins from the body;
- Normalizes fat metabolism.
Methods of application
How to take Wobenzym tablets in gynecology? Instructions for use recommend taking them orally, in whole form, half an hour before meals with a glass of water.
As a rule, the dosage regimen of the drug, as well as the duration of therapy, is determined in each individual case separately, taking into account the disease, its stage, as well as various internal and external factors that can influence the patient’s condition.
For adult patients, a single dose of the drug, depending on the type of pathology, its severity and intensity, is 3-10 tablets taken three times a day. As a rule, during the first days of treatment, they resort to taking 3 tablets three times a day, and the subsequent number of tablets taken may vary due to the characteristics of the body and other factors, while the frequency of their administration in each case remains unchanged. This is confirmed by the instructions for use.
In gynecology, Wobenzym is very effective.
For moderate and severe painful phenomena, 6-7 tablets are prescribed for two weeks. Subsequently, they switch to taking 5 tablets with the same frequency of administration. The general course of therapeutic procedures is approximately 30 days.
In severe pathological conditions, 10 tablets are prescribed three times a day for 21 days. In the future, this dosage is reduced to 7 tablets with the same frequency of administration. The general course of treatment should be at least three months.
With the development of chronic pathologies, Wobenzym tablets are recommended to be taken in accordance with the indications and observed symptoms for a course of 3 months to six months.
To potentiate the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy and reduce the risk of developing a phenomenon such as dysbiosis, it is recommended to take five tablets three times throughout the entire course of using antibacterial medications. For the purpose of treating dysbiosis that arose after antibiotic therapy, 3 tablets are prescribed for 14 days. The instructions will confirm this. Reviews of Wobenzyme in gynecology abound.
Special instructions when using the drug in gynecology
The instructions indicate that with the development of inflammatory and infectious processes, taking this drug cannot replace antibacterial therapy, but significantly enhances its effects by increasing the plasma concentration of antibiotics and their content in areas of inflammation.
It is also necessary to take into account that this medication can intensify the symptomatic phenomena of the underlying pathology at the very beginning of its use. Such manifestations can be corrected by reducing the dosage of the drug and, as a rule, do not require discontinuation of such treatment.
This is also confirmed by the instructions.
Instructions for use Wobenzym, dosage
The drug is taken orally, as a whole tablet, at least 30 minutes before meals or 2 hours after meals, washed down with clean water.
According to the instructions for use, Wobenzym tablets are taken in a dose of 3 to 10 tablets 3 times a day, depending on the activity and severity of the disease. In the first 3 days of use, the recommended dose is 3 tablets \ 3 times a day. The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor depending on the general condition.
With average disease activity, it is recommended to take 5 tablets 3 times a day, the course duration is 14-28 days. If there is an improvement in the condition, the instructions recommend reducing the single dose of Wobenzym to 3 tablets after 7 days from the start of therapy. To achieve a long-term effect, it is recommended to carry out repeated therapeutic courses for 1.5-2 months after a 14-day break.
During chemotherapy or radiation therapy, the drug is prescribed 2-5 tablets 3 times a day, depending on the individual characteristics of the patient’s body, in order to prevent the development of severe side effects from oncology therapy.
During planned operations, the drug is used to prevent complications (adhesive disease, keloid scar, inflammation). Wobenzym is started before surgery, 3 times a day, 3 tablets for a course of 5 days. Therapy should be completed 3 days before surgery.
In pediatric practice, Wobenzym is prescribed to children over 5 years of age to strengthen the body's defenses or as part of complex therapy for various infections. According to the instructions, children from 5 to 12 years are prescribed 3-5 tablets 3 times a day. For children over 12 years of age, the daily dose of the drug is calculated as for adults.
special instructions
For infectious and inflammatory diseases, the drug does not replace treatment with antibiotics, but increases their effectiveness by increasing their concentration in the blood plasma and at the site of inflammation.
It should be borne in mind that at the beginning of treatment, an exacerbation of the symptoms of the disease is possible. In such cases, it is recommended to temporarily reduce the dose; treatment should not be interrupted.
Side effects
The instructions warn about the possibility of developing the following side effects when prescribing Wobenzym:
- slight changes in the consistency and smell of stool;
- skin rashes in the form of urticaria (disappear when the dose is reduced or the drug is discontinued).
The patient should be warned that if other adverse reactions occur, it is recommended to stop taking the drug and consult a doctor.
Contraindications
Wobenzym is contraindicated in the following cases:
- individual intolerance to the drug;
- diseases associated with an increased likelihood of bleeding (including hemophilia, thrombocytopenia);
- hemodialysis;
- children under 5 years of age.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are not a contraindication for the use of the drug. Pregnant women should take the drug under the supervision of a physician.
Overdose
There is no evidence of overdose, increased side effects are possible.
How to take Wobenzym?
Enzymes are proteins that can be broken down in the stomach juices and thus become useless. Therefore, Wobenzym has a special coating that protects it from premature breakdown in the stomach. Only after the tablet enters the small intestine does the shell dissolve and the action of enzymes begins. Chewing, splitting, or otherwise breaking the coating before taking it will cause the tablet to lose its effect completely.
The tablets should not be taken with food. Enzymes that enter your body along with food will begin to interact with this food, breaking down and modifying it, instead of entering the bloodstream. In this case, the active substance will not be enough for the immune system.
Depending on the activity and severity of the disease, WOBENZYM is taken in a dose of 3 to 10 tablets 3 times a day.
- In the first three days of taking the drug, the recommended dose is 3 tablets 3 times a day.
- With moderate disease activity, WOBENZYM is prescribed in a dose of 5–7 tablets 3 times a day for 2 weeks.
- In the future, the dose of WOBENZYM should be reduced to 3-5 tablets 3 times a day, course 2 weeks.
- If the disease activity is high, WOBENZYM is prescribed in a dose of 7–10 tablets 3 times a day for 2–3 weeks.
- Subsequently, the dose of WOBENZYM is reduced to 5 tablets 3 times a day, the course is 2–3 months.
Only a doctor can help you adjust the dose in your individual case! The question of whether it is possible to continue taking Wobenzym after pregnancy can also only be answered by your doctor.
What kind of drug is Wobenzym?
Having seen an unfamiliar drug on the prescription sheet, what kind of medicine Wobenzym is, patients try to find out from the doctor. This product by its nature is a combination of enzymes with high activity. Moreover, some of them are of plant origin, some are of animal origin. Thanks to this unique composition, Wobenzym simultaneously has a multidirectional effect on the body.
Among the main therapeutic effects of Wobenzym:
- immunomodulatory;
- anti-inflammatory;
- fibrinolytic;
- antiplatelet;
- decongestant.
What does Wobenzym treat?
To understand for what purpose the product can be used, to find out what Wobenzym treats in gynecology, it is necessary to consider the mechanism of its action. It is based on a direct effect on the course of the inflammatory process. By limiting autoimmune and immune complex processes, the body's immunological reactivity increases.
In parallel, there is a stimulation and increase in the functional activity of monocytes-macrophages, which are the body’s natural killers. With their help, it is possible to maintain immunity at the proper level, increasing the body's defenses and accelerating the patient's recovery process.
Wobenzym - composition
The composition of the Wobenzym tablet is unique. It simultaneously contains several active components, which ensures a multidirectional effect of the drug on the patient’s body.
Among the active ingredients of the drug:
- Pancreatin;
- Papain;
- Trypsin;
- Bromelain;
- rutoside trihydrate;
- Lipase;
- Amylase;
- Chymotrypsin.
To increase the weight of the tablet and its effectiveness, additional components are added. This:
- lactose monohydrate;
- starch;
- magnesium stearate;
- stearic acid;
- silica;
- talc.
How does Wobenzym work?
The medicine Wobenzym is a complex combination of natural enzymes. After entering the body, they pass through the digestive system and, reaching the small intestine, begin to be absorbed into it. This happens by resorption of intact molecules. After this, binding occurs to transport proteins, which deliver the active components of the drug into the general bloodstream.
Moving along the bloodstream, enzymes reach the area of inflammation and begin to accumulate in the lesion. This is where the activation of these compounds occurs. Under their influence, circulating immune complexes gradually decrease and membrane deposits of tissue immune complexes are removed.
Pharmacodynamics
According to the instructions for use, Wobenzym is a product that contains a combination of highly active animal and enzymes (plant enzymes), which are carefully selected and best combined in the tablets of this medication, from which it has a very wide range of clinical uses.
Taking the medication for a long time has a positive effect on the course of the inflammatory process, reduces the pathological symptoms of immunocomplex and autoimmune diseases, and has a positive effect on the immunological functions of the human body. Under the influence of the active ingredients of the drug, the number of circulating immune complexes decreases and the removal of their membrane deposits from tissues is stabilized. The medicine activates and normalizes the functionality of natural killer cells (lymphocytes), as well as monocytes-macrophages, activates phagocytes, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and also significantly increases antitumor immunity, and therefore the medicine is often prescribed as a strong immunomodulator. This is confirmed by the instructions for use for Wobenzym tablets.
Treatment with this medication reduces the infiltration of interstitial tissues with plasma cells, increases the elimination of fibrin deposits, as well as protein detritus from the area affected by inflammation, reduces swelling, accelerates the processes of resorption of hematomas, and reduces the permeability of vascular walls.
The use of Wobenzym tablets according to the instructions leads to a decrease in the content of thromboxane and platelet aggregation in the blood, stabilizes the adhesion of blood cells, increases the plasticity of erythrocytes, as well as the ability to change shape, normalizes the number of platelets and reduces the total number of their activated fractions, regulates blood viscosity and reduces total number of microaggregates. Through these effects, the rheological parameters of the blood rise, its microcirculation and the normal supply of tissues with necessary substances and oxygen are stabilized.
As the instructions indicate, Wobenzym also reduces cholesterol replication, balances lipid metabolism, reduces the amount of atherogenic lipoproteins and increases the absorption of fatty acids.
The drug enhances the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy by increasing the level of antibacterial substances in the foci of the inflammatory process and their plasma concentrations, normalizes nonspecific defense processes in the body, eliminates the symptoms of dysbiosis, and reduces the severity of adverse reactions that may occur during the period of taking hormonal medications (including hypercoagulation ). This is what it says in the instructions for use for Wobenzym.
When the drug is taken orally, the necessary absorption of the active ingredients of Wobenzym occurs from the small intestine with the formation of protein complexes and their subsequent entry into the vascular bed. Blood, circulating through the systemic circulation, delivers enzymes to the zone of pathological processes, where they accumulate.
Instructions for use
The tablets are taken half an hour before eating. No need to chew. Drink a glass of water. The number of tablets and frequency of administration for adults depends on the degree of the disease and varies from 3 to 10 tablets three times a day.
When the severity of the disease is average, take 5-7 tablets three times a day for two weeks. Then, for a half-month, take 3-5 pieces three times a day.
In case of an increased degree of the disease, take 7-10 pieces three times a day for a course of 3 weeks. Then take 5 tablets three times a day for three months.

Analogs
Wobenzym has no direct analogues. This is due to the presence of unique active components in it. But there are drugs that have similar pharmacological effects. The most effective substitute is Phlogenzyme. The country of origin of both medications is Germany.
The composition of Phlogenzyme is represented by a smaller number of active components, but the dosage of this drug is significantly higher than that of Wobenzym. Therefore, Phlogenzyme is widely used during the period of recovery of the body after surgical interventions, for the treatment of gynecological diseases, thrombophlebitis, and allergies.
The difference between the two drugs lies in the side effects that may occur during therapy. In Phlogenzyme they appear as:
- Nausea.
- Headache.
- Changes in stool color and odor.
- Flatulence.
When these symptoms appear, the dosage of the drug is changed by a specialist. You should not take the medicine without a doctor's prescription.
The difference in cost is due to the novelty of the drug on the pharmaceutical market and the high content of the main components. The cost of Flogenzyme reaches 3000 rubles. Wobenzym, whose price is 1,500 rubles, is in great demand among buyers. Both drugs are included in the pharmacological register of medicines (RPM) of the Russian Federation and are available for sale in pharmacy chains.
Russian pharmaceutical companies produce relative drug substitutes that can help in recovery processes and the treatment of various pathologies. They can cost several times less than Wobenzym.
For example, Longidaza is used for the treatment of gynecological and urological pathologies. Release form: solution for subcutaneous and intramuscular administration and vaginal or rectal suppositories. In combination with other medications, rectal suppositories treat prostatitis in men. The drug is contraindicated in childhood and adolescence, people with cancer, renal failure and the risk of bleeding.
Lonidase contains a natural enzymatic component, hyaluronidase, which ensures a regenerative effect. Used after operations and during the rehabilitation period for wound healing and scar resorption. Release form: powders and liquids for external use, and solutions for parenteral administration.
Aesculus refers to homeopathic remedies created on a natural basis. Improves microcirculation and normalizes venous circulation. It is used in proctology, but is also successfully used by patients with diabetes for damage to the walls of blood vessels, for the prevention of bedsores, after strokes and heart attacks.
Esculus is produced in the form of drops and ointments. Drops are taken two to three times a day after or before meals. The course of admission is from one to one and a half months. Aesculus ointment is used to treat hemorrhoidal fissures in the rectum. It is applied to the turunda, which is shaped like a candle and inserted into the anus. The procedure is carried out twice a day. Contraindications include severe hemorrhoids and bleeding.
Cytochrome C is produced in the form of eye drops and solutions. It is used for asphyxia of newborns, pneumonia, while a person is in a comatose state, heart attack, hepatitis. Helps to use oxygen entering the body more efficiently. An overdose can cause hives, nausea, and dizziness.
Evenzyme consists of natural enzymes. Its main effect is to normalize the functions of the digestive organs. Contraindicated for pregnant women and nursing mothers, as well as people with individual intolerance.
Advantages and disadvantages of Russian analogues
It is not difficult to buy an analogue of Wobenzym. The drug is popular. This encourages third-party manufacturers to offer generics, “playing” on the price difference.
The exact cost of Wobenzym analogues depends on the manufacturer, the number of intermediaries, the amount of the trade markup and the form of release. Tablets, injection solutions, drops, ointments or suppositories, that is, suppositories, are offered.
Popular analogues of Wobenzym are:
- Longiasa. The Wobenzym analogue differs slightly in cost from the original. The drug is sold in the form of an injection solution or suppositories for rectal and vaginal use. The analogue is prescribed in combination with basic medications for the treatment of chronic diseases of the pelvic organs. To strengthen the immune system after a long illness, Longidaza is also prescribed. The Wobenzym analog helps fight infertility, endometriosis, internal adhesions, prostatitis and inflammatory pathologies of the genitourinary system. Taking the Wobenzym analogue is prohibited for persons under the age of majority, those suffering from allergies, cancer and severe kidney disease.
- Cytochrome-C. An analogue of Wobenzym called Cytochrome-C is used for therapeutic purposes and cardiology to normalize metabolic processes and saturate tissues with oxygen. The drug is used in the fight against hypoxia in case of poisoning, hepatitis, myocardial infarction, and severe pneumonia. Cytochrome-C, like other Russian Wobenzym analogues, has contraindications. The drug cannot be used to treat minors, pregnant and lactating women, patients with individual intolerance to the component composition of the generic drug.
- Ronidaza. Appears on the request “Wobenzym analogues are cheaper.” Cost is not the only thing Ronidaza is valued for. This analogue of Wobenzym is made on the basis of the natural enzyme - hyaluronidase. Ronidase is prescribed during the rehabilitation period to strengthen the immune system and restore the body after surgery. The drug helps get rid of scars, scars and other skin defects. With the help of Ronidase, scleroderma, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, hydrocephalus and tuberculosis are also treated. The Wobenzym analogue is available for sale in soluble and powder forms. Ronidase is contraindicated in pregnant and lactating women, patients with malignant tumors and acute diseases of viral etiology.
- Aesculus. One of the cheapest Russian Wobenzym analogues. Aesculus was created to normalize blood circulation and activate the body's defenses during a weakened immune system. The medicine is available in the form of suppositories, drops and ointments. The Wobenzym analogue is used for the treatment of hemorrhoids, atherosclerosis, inflammation of the venous vessels, diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction and gangrene.
- Aesculus is not prescribed to children under 12 years of age and to patients with bleeding.
- Evenzym. A tablet analogue of Wobenzym, consisting of enzymes of natural and plant origin. The product is used in surgery and gastroenterology. Evenzyme helps increase the effectiveness of antibiotics during the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, accelerates food digestion, and strengthens the immune system. Treatment with Evenzym is contraindicated in women who are breastfeeding or carrying a child, as well as those with allergies to the components of the drug.
Hence, different prescriptions for the general immunomodulatory effect of drugs.
Where to buy Wobenzym

- tetracyclines;
- fluoroquinolones.
Any treatment course loses its meaning if the patient drinks alcohol, because... ethanol reduces the effectiveness of drugs.
How the drug works
Wobenzym is a combination of highly active enzymes of plant and animal origin. The drug exhibits immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, fibrinolytic, decongestant, antiplatelet and secondary analgesic effects.
It has a positive effect on the course of the inflammatory process, limits the pathological manifestations of autoimmune and immunocomplex processes, and has a positive effect on the indicators of the body’s immunological reactivity. Stimulates and regulates the functional activity of monocytes-macrophages, natural killer cells, stimulates antitumor immunity, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, phagocytic activity of cells.
Reduces the number of circulating immune complexes, which leads to the removal of membrane deposits of immune complexes from tissues.
Reduces infiltration of the interstitium by plasma cells. Increases the elimination of protein detritus and fibrin deposits in the area of inflammation, accelerates the lysis of toxic metabolic products and dying tissues, improves the resorption of hematomas and edema, and normalizes the permeability of vascular walls.
Reduces thromboxane concentration and platelet aggregation. Regulates the adhesion of blood cells, increases the ability of red blood cells to change shape, regulates plasticity, normalizes the number of normal discocytes, and reduces the number of activated forms of platelets, normalizes blood viscosity, reduces microaggregates, improves microcirculation and rheological properties of blood, and supplies tissues with oxygen and nutrients.
Normalizes lipid metabolism, reduces the synthesis of endogenous cholesterol, increases HDL content, reduces the level of atherogenic lipids, improves the absorption of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Increases the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy, increases the concentration of antibiotics in the blood plasma and the site of inflammation, and reduces the side effects of antibiotics.
Reduces the severity of side effects due to taking hormonal drugs.
Regulates the mechanisms of nonspecific defense (production of interferons), thereby exhibiting antiviral and antimicrobial effects.
Application in gynecology
In gynecological practice, the drug is widely used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the reproductive organs, both in the acute period and chronic sluggish conditions. It can be prescribed:
- To preserve pregnancy in case of threat of self-abortion.
- In case of recurrent miscarriage in the anamnesis.
- For endometritis, vaginitis, endocervicitis, adnexitis, salpingoophoritis and salpingitis.
- For adhesions in the tissues of the uterus and fallopian tubes (for the prevention of infertility).
- In the postoperative period.
- As a prevention of side effects during HRT during menopause.
Almost all inflammatory diseases of the uterus and its appendages, in the case of chronicity of the process, are accompanied by adhesive changes in the mucous lining of organs, disruption of the menstrual cycle and reproductive function, including infertility. Adhesive processes owe their origin to long-term infectious and inflammatory processes in the uterus and appendages, which lead to a decrease in local tissue resistance to the effects of adverse factors. As a result of inflammation, tissue trophism deteriorates, swelling develops, and, ultimately, adhesions form.
The drug helps restore blood microcirculation, the functioning of adaptation mechanisms and counteract stress. It normalizes the immune response at the local level, reduces the severity of edema and prevents the adhesive process. Its use in complex therapy can improve the effect of antibacterial treatment and reduce the severity of the side effects of antibiotics. Accordingly, treatment time is reduced and healing processes are accelerated.
The pronounced anti-inflammatory effect of this medicine allows one to accelerate the course of reparative processes, thanks to which specialists are able to preserve reproductive function in young patients after interventions on the female genital organs. As an adjuvant, Wobenzym can be prescribed for endometriosis.
Treatment with this remedy can last from 2 weeks (as a prevention of side effects of antibacterial therapy) to a year (for the treatment of serious adhesive changes). The duration of the course of therapy is prescribed by the doctor. The dose of the drug is also recommended by the attending physician.
The role of the immune system in human life
The human immune system is represented by groups of regional lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen and thymus. These are the main organs. Auxiliary in the system are the adenoids, lingual and cervical tonsils, appendix, and thoracic lymphatic duct.
Together they perform the following functions:
- protection against harmful microorganisms entering from the external environment and developing inside the body,
- control of pathological changes in cells,
- suppression of malignant cell division.
Failure of the immune system negatively affects the functioning of all internal organs and leads to the degeneration of healthy cells into cancerous ones. Protective functions can be restored with the right lifestyle and taking immunomodulatory drugs. These include Wobenzym. The principle of action of the medicine is to supply substances produced by the organs of the immune system. As a result, the protection is enhanced, which is important when natural immunity decreases.

Briefly about the drug
The immune system is a rather complex system. It is her support that Wobenzym primarily provides. This drug is a rather complex combination of various plant enzymes and enzymes of animal origin. When used correctly, it affects the metabolic processes of the human body, and also enhances almost all immune reactions.
The immunomodulator Wobenzym can be considered a homeopathic remedy, since it contains exclusively natural components. One of the main components of the drug is vitamin P - rutin (another name for rutozoid). It helps strengthen blood vessels and improves blood microcirculation. In general, like most immunomodulators, Wobenzym actively helps the immune system work, and also stimulates the work of all body systems responsible for metabolic processes.
Wobenzym is produced in the form of smooth orange or red biconvex tablets with a specific odor. The coating of the drug is enteric, that is, the drug begins to work only after it enters the small intestine. A cardboard package usually contains 10 blisters of 20 tablets each (200 tablets in total), and a plastic bottle contains 800 tablets.
One tablet of original Wobenzym contains:
• rutin (aka rutozoid, helps with varicose veins, trophic disorders and lymphostasis) – 50 mg; • trypsin (an enzyme that acts as a catalyst in protein breakdown reactions) – 360 units; • pancreatin (an enzyme that improves digestion) – 345 units; • chymotrypsin (antiviral, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effect) – 300 units; • bromelain (an enzyme that promotes digestion, thins the blood, and also has an anti-cancer effect) – 225 units; • papain – 90 units; • amylase – 50 units; • lipase – 34 units; • stearic acid, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, sucrose, lactose, talc, corn starch, water - in small quantities.
Wobenzym is made exclusively from natural ingredients of both animal and plant origin. The main working substance - rutin - belongs to plant enzymes. It is obtained from the flowers of the Saphora japonica plant.
Another enzyme of plant origin is secreted from unripe pineapples or from its inedible parts, and papin is secreted from the juice of papaya (melon tree). As for enzymes of animal origin, pancreatin, chymotrypsin and trypsin are obtained from the pancreas of pigs or cattle.
Lipase and amylase are isolated from the fungus Aspergillus orysae, and thymus extract is isolated from the thymus gland of calves.
Unfortunately, like most actively advertised drugs, Wobenzym is quite an expensive drug. A package of 40 tablets at most points of sale costs about 500 rubles.

Pregnant women must be careful during treatment. Despite the fact that the drug "Wobenzym" is not an antibiotic, its action increases the concentration of the active substances of these drugs in the area of inflammation and in the blood plasma.
The effect of Wobenzym on prostatitis
Wobenzym for prostatitis is used in complex therapy of the disease. This drug is a combination of enzymes of plant and animal origin. Such enzymes accelerate various reactions in the body, so that it can quickly cope with inflammatory processes and prevent relapses of prostatitis.
In addition, enzymes have a beneficial effect on the digestion process, which is very important when taking antibacterial drugs when the natural intestinal microflora suffers. Wobenzym will help avoid flatulence, diarrhea and intestinal pain while taking antibiotics.
If the patient, in addition to prostatitis, also suffers from other inflammatory diseases, for example, bronchitis, Wobenzym will have a comprehensive effect on all foci of inflammation and will improve the patient’s well-being. Thanks to this effect, the list of indications for taking the drug is extensive; it is prescribed for colds, allergies, eye diseases, etc.
Composition and properties of Wobenzym
Wobenzym consists of 8 active substances of 100% natural origin:
- Bromelain is an enzyme of plant origin, obtained from pineapple fruits. This enzyme reduces swelling, promotes the penetration of antimicrobial and antifungal substances into the site of inflammation, accelerates wound healing and tissue repair, and generally helps to increase the effectiveness of inflammatory reactions.
- Papain is an enzyme from papaya fruit. It suppresses the growth and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria, strengthens the body's immune defense.
- Trypsin, chymotrypsin are animal enzymes that prevent blood clots from blocking blood vessels, improve blood microcirculation, and stimulate the immune response.
- Pancreatin, amylase, lipase are digestive enzymes that promote better absorption of nutrients and vitamins, thereby optimizing metabolic processes in the body.
- Rutin is vitamin P. It has a beneficial effect on capillaries, improves their permeability and reduces fragility.
- Wobenzym enzymes, unlike well-known digestive enzymes, have the ability to penetrate the bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine and are delivered directly to the site of inflammation.
Thanks to its multicomponent composition, Wobenzym has diverse medicinal properties:
- optimizes the course of inflammatory reactions;
- corrects the immune response;
- increases local and general immune protection;
- relieves pain (due to its influence on the nature of inflammatory reactions);
- reduces tissue swelling at the site of inflammation;
- prevents the formation of adhesions;
- increases the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy;
- restores the female body;
- speeds up recovery.
What is Wobenzym?
This drug is a combination of natural and synthetic enzymes with an immunomodulatory effect on the entire body. It contains lipase, pancreatin, rutoside, papain, magnesium stearate, bromelain and other biologically active substances.
Thanks to such an extensive composition, it provides the following effects on the body:
- Activation of the immune system by increasing the production of interferons, immunoglobulin A, lysozyme, monocytic macrophages and natural killer cells.
- Blood thinning due to antiplatelet activity and restoration of plasticity to the walls of erythrocytes.
- Anti-inflammatory effect – prevents the process from becoming chronic, accelerates the breakdown of inflammatory mediators.
- Significantly increases the permeability of microbial membranes to antibiotics, thereby enhancing their results.
- Optimizes tissue repair processes, relieves swelling and removes excess fluid from prostate cells.
- Reduces the risk of adverse reactions from taking antibacterial and other groups of drugs.
- Increases oxygen supply to tissues.
This list of beneficial properties makes Wobenzym for prostatitis one of the necessary and recommended methods of therapy by doctors. Due to its complex action, it is possible to treat not only acute, but also advanced chronic forms of this disease.
It can also reduce the therapeutic dose of antibiotics used - through the ability to increase the sensitivity of microbes to drugs. This helps protect the liver from unnecessary toxic effects.
The effect of the drug on the body
Many doctors, not only in the treatment of prostatitis, but also other serious diseases, note the wide spectrum of action of Wobenzym. Once in the body, the tablets begin to dissolve and be absorbed into the blood. Thus, the enzymes are activated and help restore the immune system. Beneficial enzymes penetrate the affected prostate through the bloodstream, relieve inflammation and accelerate tissue regeneration.
Action of enzymes:
- Anti-inflammatory. Swelling is quickly relieved, inflamed tissues acquire a healthy hue.
- Helps increase the number of immune cells in the body. Resistance to diseases increases, and there is also a chance for long-term remissions of chronic diseases.
- Thins the blood. It becomes more fluid, the risk of blood clots decreases, and the walls of blood vessels are strengthened.
- Cells are supplied with oxygen.
- Excess fluid is removed from the cells.
- Promotes tissue regeneration.
If you take enzymes along with other drugs, the dose of toxins that accumulate during treatment is reduced. Thus, the body does not experience much stress. If antibiotics are taken at the same time, Wobenzym for prostatitis increases the effectiveness and effect of the medicine, thereby creating the prerequisites for a speedy recovery.
Wobenzym has fibrinolytic properties, that is, it improves the resorption of already formed blood clots
Reviews of Wobenzyme
In men in adulthood, inflammation of the prostate gland or, in other words, prostatitis is very common. One of the popular modern remedies for this disease is Wobenzym.
- Anatoly, 49 years old. Wobenzym was recommended to me by a friend for prostatitis. I bought it at the pharmacy and began to drink it as written in the instructions. After a couple of days I felt relief, the pain when urinating disappeared. I took the medicine for 10 days and quit. Soon the disease returned. I went to the doctor, he prescribed Wobenzym again, but now I used it as the doctor prescribed. I also took antibiotics along with it. Now I feel much better.
- Gennady, 53 years old. I have been taking Wobenzym recently. My condition has improved significantly, but so far I cannot say about a complete recovery. I didn't have any side effects. The only thing that confuses me is the high cost of the medicine, but I don’t mind anything for my health.
- Svetlana, 45 years old. My husband suffered from prostate inflammation until we found a competent doctor. The specialist prescribed a comprehensive treatment, which included an antibiotic, dietary supplement and Wobenzym. Helped my husband. After completing the course of treatment, which lasted 3 months, a year has passed. Now we don’t even remember about prostatitis.
- Mikhail, 51 years old. Wobenzym did not help me. Or rather, I couldn’t even complete the entire course of treatment with this drug. As soon as I took the pill, my stomach immediately began to hurt and I had diarrhea. The doctor immediately told me to stop the course of treatment with Wobenzym. Now we are thinking about what to replace the drug with, because it has no analogues.
- Dmitry, 55 years old. I have had chronic inflammation of the prostate gland for a long time. To maintain my body, the doctor prescribed me Wobenzym, among other medications. The medicine is very expensive. I've been taking it for two weeks now, but so far the improvements are minimal. Taking the drug causes inconvenience for me, since I have to take 10 tablets at a time. He also undergoes treatment for about six months.
The use of the drug Wobenzym is most often characterized by positive reviews. The most important thing is to use the drug in complex therapy, which is prescribed by a qualified specialist.
Reviews about Wobenzyme on forums, as well as reviews from doctors about Wobenzyme, are quite contradictory and often lead to serious disputes among specialists and patients about the effectiveness, usefulness and safety of using this drug. The opinions of many doctors and people who have ever taken this drug differ radically on this matter, and when some claim that for them complex treatment with the inclusion of Wobenzym was much more effective and safer than without it, others immediately find many arguments against and declare the complete uselessness of this drug.
For example, some nutritionists advise taking Wobenzym for weight loss in combination with diet and exercise, and explain this by the drug’s ability to normalize the function of the gastrointestinal tract and their microflora. Some patients who have undergone this course of diet therapy remain satisfied with its results and leave positive reviews about Wobenzym. The other part, which does not notice any special changes in body weight, naturally attributes the negative result to Wobenzym.
Reviews about the drug in gynecology when planning pregnancy; for mastopathy, endometritis, vulvovaginitis, gestosis, cervicia; diseases of sexual etiology (chlamydia, mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis), as well as reviews of Wobenzyme during pregnancy are mostly positive, but even here there are those who see in this only a coincidence and the effect of other drugs taken in parallel.
In the current situation, it is not possible to draw any definite conclusions and therefore we can only advise you to rely on the opinion of your attending physician, especially if you trust him not only as a good specialist, but also as simply a decent person.

Similar products used in gynecology
Wobenzym and its analogues are not independent medications for the treatment of gynecological pathologies, but in complex therapy they are indispensable in gynecology. Medicines increase immunity, improve blood flow to the genitals, which increases the effectiveness of antibacterial agents.
Fibrinase
Fibrinase is an enzymatic drug based on serratiopeptidase, which is used in many medical areas:
- In surgery, the drug is prescribed for sprains, dislocations and fractures.
- The drug reduces the viscosity of sputum and improves its removal.
- In gynecology, it is prescribed for hematoses and congestion in the mammary glands.
The medication is not prescribed if the patient:
- sensitivity to the drug;
- age under 18 years;
- disturbances in the hemostasis system;
- pregnancy and lactation period.
The medication is prescribed 0.01-0.02 g after meals. The dragees should be drunk whole and washed down with 200 ml of water. The maximum dosage per day is 0.03 g. The duration of therapy depends on the degree of development of the pathology and is determined individually.
Movinase
Movinase is a medication that quickly reaches the site of inflammation, lyses necrotic tissue, reduces hyperemia, and also increases the effectiveness of antibacterial agents. The medication reduces the viscosity of nasal secretions and saliva and promotes rapid elimination from the body.
In gynecology, the medication is used in the following cases:
- vaginal colpitis;
- cervicitis;
- endometritis of the uterus;
- oophoritis or salpingitis;
- endometriosis;
- surgical intervention in the pelvic organs.
The drug is also prescribed in surgery, dermatology and pulmonology. The drug should not be prescribed if you are allergic to the components, if you are pregnant or under 18 years of age. Movinase is prescribed 10-20 mg after meals. The tablets are drunk whole with 200 ml of water. The maximum permitted dosage per day is 30 mg. The duration of the therapeutic course depends on the course of the pathology.
Serrata
Serrata is available in tablet form with the active ingredient serratiopeptidase. The drug has many therapeutic areas, so it is actively used in various medical fields. In surgery, the drug is used in the treatment of fractures and surgical intervention in the body, as well as sprains or ruptures of ligaments. Serrata is also used for prophylactic purposes in transplantology (prevention of transplant rejection).
Application of Serrata
In gynecology, medication is prescribed for the following pathologies:
- adhesions in the fallopian tubes and their obstruction, which causes infertility;
- gynecological inflammation;
- ectopic pregnancy;
- hormonal disorders;
- postoperative period;
- weak blood flow in the pelvis;
- predisposition to thrombosis.
Serrata is not used in patients who:
- allergy to medication;
- disturbances in hemostasis;
- liver and kidney dysfunction;
- pregnancy;
- lactation period.
For children over 3 years of age, the drug is prescribed as a last resort and if it is a vital appointment. Serrata, like Wobenzym, does not have mutagenic properties, but clinical studies have not been conducted in pregnant women. Therefore, use during pregnancy is not recommended. For the same reasons, it is prohibited to use the medicine during lactation.
You need to take the tablets orally and not be tied to eating food. The duration of therapy and dosage are determined by the doctor depending on the pathology and the degree of its progression. The standard dosage is 1 tablet three times a day. The drug is not intended for self-medication, so the dose must be prescribed by a doctor.
Everything for weight loss
He tried everything he could, folk remedies, Vitaprost, Prostomol, Prostopilen, nothing helped, and the drugs advertised on TV turned out to be especially useless. Why does this disease develop? The drug exceeded all expectations. All information on the site is provided for informational purposes. Your email will not be shown anywhere.
This is due to the fact that it is often difficult to predict the reaction of the drug to the body of a particular pregnant woman. Even an overdose and a long course of taking the drug does not cause side effects. I had never suffered from heartburn, but here I simply didn’t know where to go, I was in terrible pain. Ointment or tincture may not be suitable for everyone. The tablets are available with a prescription.
Phlogenzyme Bromelain, trypsin and rutin Similar to Wobenzym, but typical dosages are lower and the course is shorter. But still, due to its effective properties, Wobenzym is most often prescribed to patients specifically for the treatment of mastopathy. In addition, Wobenzym neutralizes the effects of antibiotics on the patient’s body, helping to restore and preserve the natural intestinal microflora. Does this happen during menopause? The instructions suggest the use of the medication in gynecology, including during complicated pregnancies, to prevent adhesions and infertility, and eliminate the side effects of replacement therapy during menopause.
Wobenzym instructions
Wobenzym is a complex of highly active proteolytic (protein-breaking) enzymes of natural origin that have pronounced pharmacological activity. Composing a carefully thought-out combination, Wobenzym enzymes have a multidirectional effect on various organs, tissues and the biochemical processes occurring in them. The systemic effect of the drug consists of immunomodulatory, antiplatelet (preventing platelet aggregation), fibrinolytic (cleavage of the main structure-forming component of a blood clot - fibrin), anti-edematous and secondary analgesic effect. In this regard, Wobenzym is used in almost all areas of medicine, including angiology, gastroenterology, gynecology, dermatology, cardiology, neurology, oncology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, pediatrics, pulmonology, rheumatology, dentistry, traumatology, urology, surgery, endocrinology. An important feature of Wobenzyme enzymes is their ability to circulate freely in blood vessels, allowing them to penetrate various organs and tissues, which plays an important role in the treatment of systemic inflammatory diseases. The plant and animal components of the drug feel great together, interacting fruitfully and complementing each other’s effect. When ingested, the tablet form of Wobenzym without incident (read: without damaging the integrity of its contents in the aggressive environment of the stomach) enters the intestine, where the tablet shell dissolves and enzymes penetrate through the intestinal wall. Some of them bind to blood transport proteins (antiproteases), as a result of which they are activated and acquire the ability to control the level of cytokines (these are peculiar mediators of intercellular interaction), growth factors and hormones. Thus, enzymes can indirectly change the direction of the immune response from inflammatory to anti-inflammatory. Under the influence of Wobenzym, the pathological cascade of inflammation is interrupted, which prevents the chronicity of the inflammatory process.
Antiproteases “mix” the antigenic properties of proteases, allowing them to travel through the vascular bed without causing allergic reactions. They also control the concentration of transforming growth factor β, which is responsible for the regeneration of damaged areas of organs due to connective tissue. Consequently, Wobenzym indirectly regulates recovery processes, connective tissue growth and scar formation processes. Some proteolytic enzymes remain in the gastrointestinal tract and take part in digestive processes, improve the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, and contribute to the establishment of normal intestinal microflora.
Wobenzym reduces the level of thromboxane (a mediator of platelet aggregation), prevents the sedimentation of blood cells on the endothelium, increases the ability of red blood cells to change their shape, improves their plasticity, which ensures more efficient transport of oxygen to tissues. The drug puts the blood anticoagulation system on alert, reduces the concentration of active platelets, optimizes the rheological properties of blood, helps improve lymph flow, and has a beneficial effect on metabolism. When taking the drug, side effects from taking certain medications, including hormonal and antibacterial agents, become less pronounced. At the same time, Wobenzym can rightfully be called an antioxidant, because it counteracts lipid peroxidation and normalizes lipid metabolism, reducing the level of “bad” cholesterol in favor of good.

To summarize, we can call Wobenzym a real “multi-drug” in the good sense of the word: the drug has the widest therapeutic range and is successfully used in patients of a wide variety of profiles. The only drawback of Wobenzym, sad to say, is its high price...
Storage conditions and periods

Over the counter.
It is best to store Wobenzym at room temperature (15° to 25°), away from direct sunlight and at low humidity, out of the reach of children and pets.
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.
Additional properties
The drug is involved in the digestion of food, therefore, when taken, digestion improves, which is especially important during antibiotic therapy: only part of the necessary microflora is retained in the intestines, which may not cope with the digestion of food completely.
In addition to prostatitis, the drug can help in the treatment of gastritis
During treatment, the drug will fight concomitant diseases, for example: gastritis, cystitis, bronchitis, arthritis, atherosclerosis, infectious diseases, soft tissue injuries - which makes the drug very popular in treatment.
This drug is unique in its kind; it has no analogues.
The drug performs three main functions:
- Immunomodulatory.
- Anti-inflammatory.
- Painkiller.
All these qualities are necessary in the treatment of prostatitis. The disease is caused by the proliferation of various harmful microorganisms, as a result of which the human immune system weakens.
Wobenzym copes better than other drugs with all the problems that arise from inflammation of the prostate gland.
In addition to its main functions, the drug also performs other therapeutic effects on the body:
- Relieving swelling.
- Improves reparative processes.
- Prevents the formation of blood clots in blood vessels.
- Improves the penetration of antibiotics into the body, which kill harmful microorganisms.
- Optimizes the digestion process in the small intestine.
- Promotes easier tolerability of chemotherapy.
- Relieves side effects that occur during antibiotic treatment.
It is very important to remember that complex therapy is necessary to treat inflammation of the prostate gland. That is, you cannot take only Wobenzym and forget about other medications, including antibiotics.
You can purchase the drug at any pharmacy without a prescription. The shelf life of the drug is 2.5 years.
Disadvantages of Wobenzym for prostatitis?
This pharmaceutical drug cannot be called absolutely safe. It, like many medications, is not ideal. The disadvantages of the product include:
- High price. Often, taking the drug is not limited to several days or one week. The reception period is quite long. The price of the tablets is high, so treatment can seriously hit your pocket.
- Inconvenient to use. It is not very convenient to take several tablets a day. Especially when you are not sitting still. You need to stock up on a large number of blasters so that you don’t forget to take a handful of tablets at your next appointment.
- Insufficient knowledge of the drug. Many doctors doubt the prescription of the drug. Indeed, in comparison with known drugs, enzyme preparations cause controversy in the scientific and medical spheres. However, you should not be afraid of this drawback. After all, numerous positive reviews can reassure and restore hope for recovery.

There is no absolutely perfect medicine or one that would suit everyone. Likewise, this representative of the pharmaceutical industry has several negative qualities.
According to reviews of men with prostatitis and some doctors, they are:
- Price. Since taking the pills must continue for at least a month, the cost of such a process will be rather large.
- Inconvenient to use. This applies to patients with advanced forms of the disease, when you need to take 10 tablets at a time, and this is very unpleasant.
- Changes in stool odor. Some men really complained about this particular side effect of the medication, but this is a purely individual issue.
- Lack of international large clinical trials. Doctors are often afraid to prescribe a medicine due to the lack of a proven evidence base on the effectiveness of the drug, but the huge number of satisfied, cured patients neutralize such fear.
Pharmacological properties
- Fortunately, the disease was diagnosed at an early stage, so the gynecologist prescribed only Wobenzym in combination with vitamins.
- The medication is usually well tolerated.
- This allows you to significantly reduce the dosage of harmful drugs and minimize the risk of developing negative consequences of taking them.
- Which ointment is best for skin diseases.
- But Wobenzym is a solution if you cannot give up drinking, since this drug has a positive effect on metabolism, restoring it after alcohol intoxication.
