Active Ingredient

Each Enteric-Coated Tablet Contains:

Bromelain – 120–136 mg

Equivalent to:

800 F.I.P. Units of Bromelain

The bromelain is derived from the stem of the pineapple plant.

Why F.I.P. Units Matter

For enzyme products such as bromelain, the weight in milligrams does not by itself describe enzymatic activity. F.I.P. units indicate enzyme activity, which is why the product is officially labeled as providing 800 F.I.P. units per tablet.

Indications

According to the current German product information, Phlogenzym Mono is indicated for:

• Acute swelling following surgery
• Acute swelling following injuries
• Particularly swelling involving the nose and paranasal sinuses

It is classified in Germany as a herbal medicinal product, not simply a dietary bromelain supplement.

Directions for Use

Unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional:

Adults and adolescents ages 12+:

Take 1 enteric-coated tablet 1–2 times daily.

Swallow the tablet whole with plenty of liquid. Do not chew or crush it.

• 30 minutes before a meal, or
