Hepatoprotective agent
Pharmacological Action
It enhances the detoxification and protein-synthesizing functions of the liver, improves the metabolic capacity of liver cells, and promotes the sorption and elimination of toxins.
The mechanism of action has two phases: an intestinal phase, in which detoxification occurs due to the sorption of toxic products in the intestine, and a metabolic (hepatoprotective) phase, in which the biological components of the drug help restore the functional activity of the liver.
Indications
Liver cirrhosis of various etiologies; chronic hepatopathies (hepatitis, hepatosis); acute and chronic liver failure; drug-induced and alcoholic liver damage; poisonings; digestive disorders (as part of complex therapy).
