Foxguard 5gm Infusion 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. Foxguard 5gm Infusion 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. Foxguard 5gm Infusion 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. Foxguard 5gm Infusion helps improve psychometric function in patients with hepatic encephalopathy.

Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, oedema, weakness, loss of appetite, and yellowing skin and eyes.

Liver cirrhosis: It is the damage of the liver which causes scarring and liver failure. Symptoms include loss of appetite, tiredness, weakness, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, itchy skin, and yellowing of the skin and eyes.
