Karipazim is a new highly effective drug that is used in traumatology, orthopedics and neurosurgery. It gives very good results to whims with osteochondrosis and radiculitis. And the application for intervertebral hernia has shown good results in neurosurgical practice.
Karipazim is a plant proteolytic enzyme agent.
Composition
The preparation contains several substances:
- Papain;
- Lysozyme;
- A, B-chymopapaines;
- A, B-peptidases;
- Salts of alkali and alkaline earth metals: potassium, sodium, calcium.
- Magnesium salts;
- Other organic compounds: amino acids, carbohydrates.
All components are of natural origin, the drug has a minimum of side effects, since it is considered herbal.
Papain
Plant-derived enzyme. Derived from papaya juice. It has pronounced anti-inflammatory and necrolytic effects. It is extremely active, but practically does not interact with other drugs. It is the main active ingredient of Karipazim.
Lysozyme
Enzyme. It has an anti-inflammatory effect.
The rest of the substances are necessary to maintain the structure and activity of the main active substance (papain), and also enhance its effect. In addition, metal salts additionally nourish the tissues of the spine, promoting regeneration.
Pharmacological properties
Pharmacological properties are manifested only with deep administration of the drug (through sessions of phono- or electrophoresis)
Positive effects include:
- Anti-inflammatory effect - Karipazim helps to relieve inflammation, and, consequently, reduce pain.
- Necrolytic action - dead cells of the intervertebral disc structures are rejected due to the action of Karpipazim, allowing the body to initiate the regenerative process.
- Regenerative action - promotes rapid scarring and restoration of the structures of the intervertebral disc. The disc decreases in size, becomes softer and stops pinching the nerve endings. As a result, the pain syndrome is eliminated, sensitivity is restored.
-
If the pathological process is "started", Karipazim effectively stabilizes the condition of the affected intervertebral disc. In severe cases, the therapeutic effect is insufficient, but Karipazim inhibits the further progression of hernia development.
How does caripazim work for herniated discs?
When Karipazim enters the affected areas, the drug has a selective necrolytic effect. Healthy tissues are practically not affected.
Karipazim has a proteolytic effect on necrotic areas of connective tissue (destroys dead cells, primarily cells of the nucleus pulposus) and promotes their rapid rejection.
The affected structures of the intervertebral disc are actively scarred. The papain and lysozyme included in the preparation help to eliminate the inflammatory process. Lysozyme also restores disturbed blood circulation, improving the nutrition of the vertebral structures.
Answers on questions:
How to use caripazim?
The main way of using the drug is to prepare a solution or ointment (the main dosage forms of the drug are powder or solution), and further introduction into the affected area by electrophoresis. Local non-invasive administration is ineffective.
Stages of the procedure:
- A solution for physiotherapeutic use is prepared immediately before the session (in 2-7 minutes, with a longer preparation of the solution, papain begins to break down upon contact with oxygen).
- Papain is diluted with saline in a ratio of 10: 1 (for 1 bottle of caripazim containing 100 mg of the drug, 10 ml of saline).
- To enhance the therapeutic effect, Dimexide is additionally applied (1 drop of the drug is added to the finished solution).
- The pads of the physiotherapy apparatus are impregnated with the solution. A gasket soaked in a solution of aminophylline (2.4%) is applied to the neck area; gaskets soaked directly with a solution of Karipazim are applied to the lumbar area, shoulders.
- The gaskets should be heated to 37-39 ° C Celsius.
The course of treatment is 25-30 sessions. Each session lasts 12-25 minutes. It is most effective to conduct 3 courses. The break between them should be about 40-60 days. At the decision of the doctor, the treatment regimen can be changed.
Side effects of karipazim
Karipazim is a natural herbal preparation. Therefore, the number of side effects is minimal:
- The rise in temperature.
- The occurrence of local allergic reactions.
- Itching and burning sensation in the area of application.
The rise in body temperature when using Karipazim is due to a temporary increase in the inflammatory process (the well-known effect when the opposite effect is observed from the first sessions of physiotherapy). Blood rushes to the damaged area more actively.
Local allergic reactions occur due to individual intolerance to the enzymes that make up the drug.
Itching and burning when using the drug is the result of activation of the nerve endings of the epidermis with papain. Also, uncomfortable sensations can be caused by excessive production of the itch mediator, histamine.

Contraindications to the use of caripazim
Contraindications to the use of Karipazim are:
- It is forbidden to use the drug inside. Papain and other enzymes that are part of Karipazim have a pronounced necrolytic effect. Once on the mucous membrane of the stomach and small intestine, the drug will cause active tissue degeneration, which will cause the development of acute gastritis and colitis.
- It is forbidden to use the drug in the form of injections.
- The drug should not be used to treat a hernia if the nucleus pulposus has undergone sequestration.
- It is also forbidden to use the drug if there are skin lesions at the site of application (traumatic, infectious, thermal, etc.).
If itching and burning occurs as a result of using the medication, rinse the affected area with water and apply hydrocortisone ointment.
