Wobenzym is a combination of highly active enzymes of plant and animal origin with anti-inflammatory, decongestant, immunomodulatory, fibrinolytic and secondary analgesic effects. The use of Wobenzym improves oxygen saturation of tissues and improves metabolism. Taking Wobenzym prevents negative reactions after taking hormones. It enhances the effectiveness of taking antibacterial drugs, since Wobenzym increases their concentration in the blood and plasma. The drug affects cholesterol synthesis and lipid metabolism.
Enteric coating
Drugs that are damaged by the acidic environment of the stomach are coated with a substance that protects the drug from dissolving until it reaches the small intestine. This protective coating is called an “enteric coating.” For these coatings to dissolve, they must interact with the less acidic environment in the small intestine.
Substance content in 1 tablet: Proteolytic enzymes from papaya, pineapple, animal pancreas - 250 mg; pancreatin - 100 mg; rutin - 50 mg, amylase - 10 mg; lipase - 10 mg; trypsin - 24 mg, chymotrypsin - 1 mg; bromelain - 45 mg; papain - 60 mg.
Pharmacological action, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
The main effects of Wobenzym:
- anti-inflammatory;
- fibrinolytic
- antiplatelet;
- immunomodulatory;
- decongestant.
The active components of the drug reduce the number of active circulating ICs in the blood, activates immunity directed against tumor cells and phagocytosis, thereby exerting its immunomodulatory effect.
The drug also normalizes the permeability of vascular walls, reduces the infiltration of damaged tissues, thereby reducing swelling and accelerating the time of resorption of bruises and hematomas.
Wobenzym regulates blood viscosity, normalizes the number of formed elements, thereby improving rheological parameters and microcirculation in tissues.
It is absorbed from the small intestine quite quickly, enters the bloodstream, where it interacts with carrier proteins, thanks to which it enters the organs where pathological processes occur.

Reviews from doctors and patients confirm the beneficial effects of Wobenzym on the body. The use of an immunomodulator increases resistance to diseases and accelerates the onset of recovery.
The popularity and demand of Wobenzym are associated with its composition. Wobenzym is a preparation of natural, plant origin.

Wobenzym belongs to the enzyme therapy group of drugs. Enzymes (enzymes) are specific proteins that accelerate biochemical reactions in the body. The uniqueness of Wobenzym is due to the targeted fight of enzymes against pathological processes.

Note!
The description of the drug Wobenzym on this page is a simplified author’s version of the apteka911 website, created on the basis of the instructions for use.
Before purchasing or using the drug, you should consult your doctor and read the manufacturer's original instructions (attached to each package of the drug). Information about the drug is provided for informational purposes only and should not be used as a guide to self-medication. Only a doctor can decide to prescribe the drug, as well as determine the dose and methods of its use.
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 from harmful microorganisms entering from the external environment and developing inside the body;
- control of pathological changes in cells;
- suppression of malignant cell division.
The causes of problems with immunity can be ignoring the rules of personal hygiene, attacks by viruses, fungi, parasites and microbes, and chronic diseases.
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.
Advantages and disadvantages of Belarusian generics
The most popular among patients are the following Belarusian generics of Wobenzym:
- Acidin-pepsin. A budget alternative to Wobenzym, it costs 200-250 rubles. The active component of the drug is pepsin. Due to it, the medicine stimulates digestion and increases the effectiveness of the local protective barrier in the stomach.
- N-winter. Belongs to the middle price category. The active component is pancreatin. It helps restore the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract after inflammatory processes and exacerbation of chronic diseases. N-zim is prescribed by a doctor and requires compliance with the treatment regimen, since it has contraindications.
- Lidaza. The drug is presented in the form of a solution for intramuscular injection. The cost of Lidaza is 2 times more than Acidina. In medicine, the drug is widely used during the recovery period of patients after surgery. The Wobenzym analogue is effective in healing scars and traumatic ligament damage. The medicine is prohibited for use in oncology and tuberculosis.
Initially, Wobenzym and its generics were perceived as a panacea. The creation of immunomodulators seemed to make it possible to defeat any ailment. However, it turned out that the drugs are addictive.
By receiving enzymes from the outside, the body stops producing its own. Therefore, it is recommended to take immunomodulators strictly as prescribed, taking breaks between courses.
