Question : Follow up on my question on tennis elbow pain on 11th August, answered by Dr. Chander XXXXXXX XXXXXXX

I am taking Enzoheal as an anti inflammation tablet. Please advise if it can be continued for a duration of 2-3 months if required. Or are there any side effects of using for long duration?

Brief Answer:
Yes you can use it.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You can use Enzoheal for 2-3 months to reduce the inflammation. It is well tolerated but can cause gastric acidity. Be careful to take it after meals.
Doing local hot fomentation and using an elbow brace will also help you a lot.
In case the pain is persistent then local steroid injections can be considered for relief.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
