About Hepagard Sachet

Hepagard Sachet is used to treat liver diseases such as acute and chronic hepatitis, chronic alcoholic liver damage, fatty liver, jaundice, liver cirrhosis, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).

Hepagard Sachet contains L-ornithine-L-aspartate as its active ingredient.  L-ornithine-L-aspartate rejuvenates the liver by increasing the rate of energy production in liver cells.
