Phlogenzym mono, 100 tablets

For swelling after operations

Tooth extraction or root canal treatment?
Around 12.5 million teeth are removed in Germany every year. It is one of the most common operations in dentistry. Wisdom tooth extraction, tooth pulling and root canal treatment are also everyday procedures today.

Even though these dental operations are now routine, the consequences for patients are more than unpleasant. The painful "swollen cheek" almost always occurs after a visit to the dentist - which significantly impairs everyday life.

This is where Phlogenzym mono can help with its decongestant and therefore pain-relieving effect.

Faster decongestion – naturally
Phlogenzym mono helps to reduce swelling after dental surgery more quickly. The active ingredient bromelain is a highly active, purely plant-based enzyme from pineapple. Its special effect reduces fluid retention in injured tissue. The pressure in the wound decreases – and with it the pain.

At a glance:
Reduces swelling and therefore pain
Natural and well tolerated
Suitable for adults and adolescents aged 12 and over Can be kept in the medicine cabinet

Areas of use
Unless otherwise prescribed by the therapist:
Adults and adolescents aged 12 and over 1 x 1 tablet daily, maximum 2 x 1 tablet daily. Take unchewed with plenty of liquid, at least 30 minutes before or at least 90 minutes after a meal.

What speaks against use?

Always:
Hypersensitivity to the ingredients
In certain circumstances – speak to your doctor or pharmacist about this:
Blood clotting disorder

Which age group should be considered?
Children under 12 years: The medicine should not generally be used in this age group.

What about pregnancy and breast-feeding?
Pregnancy: Contact your doctor. Various considerations play a role in whether and how the medicine can be used during pregnancy. Breastfeeding: Contact your doctor or pharmacist. He or she will examine your particular situation and advise you accordingly as to whether and how you can continue breastfeeding.
If the medicine has been prescribed for you despite a contraindication, speak to your doctor or pharmacist. The therapeutic benefit may be greater than the risk of using it in the event of a contraindication.
Important information on PHLOGENZYM mono gastro-resistant tablets
Information on allergies (concerning active ingredients and excipients), complications with food and beverages, and other warnings.

What should you bear in mind?
Be careful if you are allergic to pineapple, kiwi, melon and papaya!
Be careful if you are intolerant to lactose. If you have to follow a diabetic diet, you should take the sugar content into account. There may be medicines with which interactions occur. You should therefore generally tell your doctor or pharmacist about any other medicine you are already taking before treatment with a new medicine. This also applies to medicines that you buy yourself, use only occasionally or that you have used some time ago.
