Lopaserv-P Tablet

Introduction

Lopaserv-P is a prescription medication that combines two active ingredients: L-Ornithine L-Aspartate and Pancreatin. It is commonly referred to as Lopaserv-P and is available in tablet form.

Uses

Lopaserv-P is primarily prescribed for the treatment of liver disorders and digestive problems. It helps improve liver function by supporting detoxification processes and promoting the breakdown of ammonia in the body. Additionally, it aids in the digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, providing relief from symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, and abdominal discomfort.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Lopaserv-P may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual patient’s response to the medication. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and not exceed the prescribed dose.

Typically, the usual dosage for adults is one tablet taken orally, three times a day, preferably before meals. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water and not crush, chew, or break it. If you have any concerns about the dosage or administration, consult your healthcare professional.

Mechanism of Action

Lopaserv-P works by combining the beneficial effects of its active ingredients, L-Ornithine L-Aspartate and Pancreatin.

L-Ornithine L-Aspartate helps improve liver function by supporting the detoxification process. It aids in the breakdown of ammonia, a toxic substance produced during protein metabolism, into harmless compounds that can be excreted from the body.

Pancreatin, on the other hand, is a mixture of digestive enzymes derived from the pancreas. It helps in the digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption and relieving digestive discomfort.

Together, these active ingredients work synergistically to support liver health and improve digestion.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, and stomach discomfort. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.

In rare cases, serious side effects may occur. These may include severe allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Lopaserv-P may interact with certain medications, potentially affecting their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements.

Some medications that may interact with Lopaserv-P include anticoagulants (blood thinners), certain antibiotics, and certain antifungal medications. Your healthcare provider will carefully evaluate the potential interactions and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

Precautions

Before taking Lopaserv-P, inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you have, including liver disease, kidney disease, or any allergies. Additionally, disclose any medications you are currently taking, as mentioned earlier.

Lopaserv-P is contraindicated in individuals who are hypersensitive to any of its ingredients. It should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding without the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Storage

Lopaserv-P should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use the medication if it has expired or shows signs of deterioration. If you have any unused or expired medication, consult your pharmacist or healthcare provider for proper disposal methods.
