Liviguard Injection 10 ml

Liviguard 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. 
 
Liviguard Injection contains L-ornithine-L-aspartate that facilitates the removal of ammonia by increasing glutamine and urea synthesis in the liver and synthesis of glutamine in brain and muscle tissues.
 
Sometimes, Liviguard Injection may cause side effects such as nausea and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
 
Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking Liviguard Injection. Limited information is available regarding the usage of Liviguard Injection in children; please consult your doctor if you have any concerns. Inform your doctor about your medical history and the medicines you take to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Liviguard 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. Liviguard 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. Liviguard 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. Liviguard Injection helps improve psychometric function in patients with hepatic encephalopathy.

Hepatitis: It occurs due to viral infection leading to liver damage and inflammation, making it difficult for the liver to function properly. Symptoms include yellowing of the skin and eyes, nausea, fatigue, abdominal pain, fever, and nausea.

Fatty liver: Fatty liver occurs due to increased build-up of fat in the liver. It could occur due to excess consumption of alcohol (alcoholic fatty liver) or other factors (non-alcoholic fatty liver). 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.

Jaundice: It occurs due to the build-up of bilirubin in the blood, which causes the yellowing of skin and eyes. Symptoms include yellowing skin and eyes, dark urine, loss of appetite, fatigue, bloody or dark stools, nausea, and vomiting. 

Hepatic encephalopathy: It is a liver disease in which the liver does not remove the toxins from the body, leading to brain function loss. Symptoms include anxiety, irritability, cognitive impairment, problems with balance, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, and muscle twitches.
