Hepz Tablet is a combination medicine, primarily used to treat hepatic encephalopathy, indigestion and inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). Indigestion is the inability to digest food that is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach. Hepatic encephalopathy is a liver disease in which the liver does not remove the toxins from the body, which leads to loss of brain function.

Hepz Tablet contains L-Ornithine-L-Aspartate and Pancreatin. L-Ornithine-L-Aspartate helps increase the levels of amino acids, ornithine and aspartic acid in the body. This increase in the amino acids helps in ammonia detoxification (ammonia is a toxic waste product that needs to be eliminated from the body). Pancreatin is a digestive enzyme that is a combination of lipase, protease, and amylase enzymes. Medical conditions like inflammation of the pancreas can cause digestive issues by lacking these enzymes. Pancreatin helps in replacing these enzymes and helps in the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

Please take Hepz Tablet in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor based on your medical condition. Hepz Tablet is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like nausea and vomiting. Although not everyone experiences these side effects, if they occur, please seek medical attention.

Let your doctor know if you have any history of liver or kidney diseases, pancreatectomy (surgical removal of all or part of the pancreas), and gastrectomy (removal of part or all of the stomach). Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Hepz Tablet with proper consultation and caution. Be cautious while driving and operating machinery as it is unknown if Hepz Tablet interferes with your ability to drive. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Hepz Tablet as it could lead to further liver damage. Hepz Tablet should not be given to children unless prescribed by the doctor.

Hepz Tablet treats indigestion, hepatic encephalopathy and inflammation of the pancreas. It contains L-Ornithine-L-Aspartate, and Pancreatin. L-Ornithine-L-Aspartate helps increase the levels of amino acids, ornithine and aspartic acid in the body. This increase in the amino acids helps in ammonia detoxification. They rejuvenate the liver by increasing the rate of energy production in liver cells. L-Ornithine-L-Aspartate also helps in reducing brain function with liver diseases like cirrhosis. It is also used to improve athletic performance. Pancreatin is a digestive enzyme that is a combination of lipase, protease, and amylase enzymes. It helps in replacing low levels of these enzymes in the body and helps in the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
