About Sorbiline Solution

Sorbiline Solution is used to treat and prevent fatty liver disease and other liver-related disorders like hepatotoxicity. Sorbiline Solution also helps improve occasional constipation, asthma symptoms, and hepatic disorders. Fatty liver disease, also known as hepatic steatosis, is a medical condition associated with a build-up of fat in liver cells. Fatty liver disease is of two types, namely alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver. Hepatotoxicity is referred to as liver damage caused by exposure to drugs. 

Sorbiline Solution is composed of two medicines: Sorbitol (laxative) and Tricholine (bile acid-binding agent). Sorbitol is a laxative with diuretic (urine-producing) and cathartic (that stimulates defecation) properties. It is a sugar alcohol found in fruits and plants and treats constipation. Tricholine is a bile acid-binding agent that removes excess bile acids from the body. This makes the liver utilize the body's cholesterol to produce bile acid, thus lowering the cholesterol levels in the body. 

Your doctor will advise you how often you take Sorbiline Solution based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Sorbiline Solution include nausea, vomiting, gas, constipation, dizziness, bloating, stomach cramps, dry mouth, and drowsiness. If these side effects occur, they resolve gradually over time and do not usually require medical attention. However, if you notice any side effects that are not manageable, it is advised to consult your doctor.

Medicinal Benefits

Sorbiline Solution is used to treat and prevent fatty liver disease and other liver-related disorders like hepatotoxicity. It contains Sorbitol (laxative) and Tricholine (bile acid-binding agent). Sorbitol is a laxative with a diuretic (urine-producing) and cathartic (that stimulates defecation) properties. It is a sugar alcohol found in fruits and plants and treats constipation. Tricholine is a bile acid-binding agent that removes excess bile acids from the body. Due to this, the liver utilizes the body's cholesterol to produce more bile acids, thus lowering the body's cholesterol levels. It exhibits lipotropic action and helps in the breakdown of fat during metabolism in the body. It also helps to relieve asthma symptoms in adults. Tricholine may cause constipation as its side effect. Administering Sorbitol, along with Tricholine, helps in relieving constipation and other digestive problems.
