Introduction
Ceftivolk is a prescription medication that combines three active ingredients: Bromelain, Trypsin, and Rutoside. It is commonly used to provide relief from inflammation and swelling associated with various conditions.
Uses
Ceftivolk is prescribed for the treatment of conditions such as:
- Post-operative edema and inflammation

Mechanism of Action
Bromelain, Trypsin, and Rutoside, the active ingredients in Ceftivolk, work together to provide therapeutic benefits. Bromelain is a natural enzyme derived from pineapples and has anti-inflammatory properties. Trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme that helps in reducing inflammation and promoting tissue healing. Rutoside, also known as rutin, is a flavonoid that strengthens blood vessels and reduces swelling.
