1. What is Bevichymo?
Bevichymo drug has the main ingredient Chymotrypsin 42 microkatals. Alpha-chymotrypsin is an enzyme prepared by activating chymotrypsinogen (extracted from bovine pancreas). Alpha-chymotrypsin is a proteolytic enzyme that selectively catalyzes the peptide bonds adjacent to aromatic amino acids. This enzyme is used in ophthalmology to dissolve the delicate ligaments that hang the vitreous, making it easier to remove the cloudy nucleus in the capsule, reducing trauma to the eye.
Indications for use of Bevichymo:
Anti-inflammatory, used in the treatment of edema after surgery or after trauma (soft tissue damage, sprain, acute trauma, contusion heart, hematoma, infection, hemolytic bruise , eyelid edema, cramps, sports injuries); Loosen respiratory secretions in patients with bronchitis, sinusitis, asthma and lung diseases. Bevichymo is contraindicated in the following cases:
Patients are allergic to the drug's components; People with reduced alpha-1 antitrypsin. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (especially emphysema), people with nephrotic syndrome are at risk of having alpha-1 antitrypsin decrease.
2. How to use and dose Bevichymo
Bevichymo is used orally. The recommended dosage of the drug is as follows:
Swallow 2 tablets x 2-3 times/day; Sublingual 4 - 6 tablets per day, divided into several times. The patient needs to let the tablet dissolve gradually under the tongue.

Some drug interactions of Bevichymo include:
Alpha-chymotrypsin is often used in combination with other enzyme drugs to increase the effectiveness of the treatment. In addition, patients should develop a balanced diet, use vitamins and mineral salts to increase the activity of Alpha-chymotrypsin; Some seeds such as wild soybeans, tomatoes, and jojoba beans (USA) contain a variety of proteins that can inhibit alpha-chymotrypsin activity. These proteins can be inactivated by boiling; Alpha-chymotrypsin should not be used concurrently with acetylcysteine (medicine used to dissolve phlegm in the lungs); Alpha-chymotrypsin should not be combined with anticoagulants because it will increase the effectiveness of these drugs. Before using Bevichymo, patients should inform their doctor about the drugs they are taking so that they can be adjusted accordingly, avoiding the risk of drug interactions (affecting the effectiveness or increasing side effects).
