Q: Under what group of drugs does Chymoral fall? What are the side effects from prolonged use? What role do they play in the body? I underwent myomectomy two months ago and had a straight abdominal incision. Please advise.

A:Chymoral is the brand name of a medicine called chymotrypsin. It is obtained either from the pancreas of beef. It is claimed to reduce soft tissue inflammation and oedema associated with surgery. Since the product is of animal origin; sometimes, severe allergic reactions can occur.
