Aspirin inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis and providing pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects. Papain acts as a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down proteins, potentially reducing inflammation and supporting tissue repair.
May cause gastrointestinal irritation common to aspirin-containing products. Contraindicated in patients with aspirin allergy, bleeding disorders, or peptic ulcers. Should be used with caution in patients taking anticoagulants. Not recommended during pregnancy without medical consultation.
