Review

However, there are also critical voices against the use of Wobenzym®. Some scientists doubt the effects of Wobenzym® and attribute the positive treatment results to the so-called “placebo effect”. There is also criticism of the price of the drug. Since it often happens that the drug is/needs to be dosed very highly and the average price is around 15-25 cents per tablet, patients may be faced with high costs.
