Medicinal Benefits

Alnaliv Injection is used to treat liver diseases such as hepatitis, fatty liver, jaundice, liver cirrhosis, and hepatic encephalopathy. It is indicated to treat different levels of mental and movement function loss (evident and latent hepatic encephalopathy) caused by liver failure. Alnaliv Injection contains L-ornithine-L-aspartate that removes ammonia by increasing glutamine and urea synthesis in the liver and synthesis of glutamine in brain and muscle tissues. Alnaliv Injection converts toxic, harmful ammonia into non-toxic urea, eliminated via the urine. It serves as a stimulus for hepatic glutamine synthesis that could be defective in acute and chronic liver disease. Alnaliv Injection helps improve psychometric function in patients with hepatic encephalopathy.
