About Leepure Tablet

Leepure Tablet 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). Liver diseases lead to disturbance of vital liver functions. Leepure Tablet effectively prevents multiple liver disease mechanisms and ensures the liver's protection, regeneration, and rejuvenation. 

Leepure Tablet contains Metadoxine, Silymarin, L-ornithine-L-aspartate, Folic acid, and Pyridoxine hydrochloride. Metadoxine restores the liver's balance of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids by increasing the desaturase enzyme. It accelerates the metabolism of the liver, restores ATP synthesis and redox balance of hepatocytes. Silymarin helps in protecting the liver from free radical damage and prevents hepatic lipid peroxidation. It increases glutathione and protein synthesis and helps in the production of new liver cells. L-ornithine-L-aspartate rejuvenates the liver by increasing the rate of energy production in liver cells. It decreases ammonia levels in the blood by increasing ammonia detoxification. Pyridoxine hydrochloride helps in the metabolism of dietary carbohydrates and fats in the liver. Folic acid helps in correcting micronutrient deficiency.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Liver disease: The liver is an important organ responsible for carrying out many vital functions such as metabolism, detoxification of waste, and energy storage. Liver diseases occur due to disturbances in liver functions. Liver diseases include acute and chronic hepatitis, chronic alcoholic liver damage, fatty liver, jaundice, liver cirrhosis, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). Hepatitis occurs due to viral infection, leading to liver damage and inflammation, making it difficult for the liver to function properly. The fatty liver could occur due to excess alcohol consumption (alcoholic fatty liver) or other factors (non-alcoholic fatty liver). Liver cirrhosis is damage to the liver, which causes scarring and liver failure. Jaundice occurs due to the build-up of bilirubin in the blood, which causes the yellow discolouration of the skin and eyes. Symptoms include dark urine, yellowing skin and eyes, loss of appetite, fatigue, bloody or dark stools, nausea, and vomiting.
