Nitoliv M Capsule

Introduction

Nitoliv M is a prescription medication that combines several active ingredients to provide comprehensive support for liver health. It contains Metadoxine, Silymarin, L-Ornithine L-Aspartate, Vitamin B6, and Folic Acid. This combination of ingredients works synergistically to promote liver function and protect against liver damage.

Uses

Nitoliv M is primarily prescribed for the treatment of liver disorders. It can be used to support liver health in conditions such as fatty liver, alcoholic liver disease, and drug-induced liver injury. Additionally, it may be beneficial in managing liver-related symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, and jaundice.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Nitoliv M may vary depending on the severity of the liver condition and the individual patient’s response. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Typically, the usual adult dosage is one capsule taken orally twice daily with meals. The capsules should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.

Mechanism of Action

Nitoliv M works through its various active ingredients to support liver function. Metadoxine helps to improve liver detoxification processes and reduce liver inflammation. Silymarin, derived from milk thistle, has antioxidant properties that protect liver cells from damage. L-Ornithine L-Aspartate aids in the elimination of ammonia from the body, which can accumulate in liver disorders. Vitamin B6 and Folic Acid play essential roles in liver metabolism and overall liver health.

Common side effects may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, or stomach discomfort. These side effects are usually mild and resolve on their own. However, if you experience any persistent or severe side effects, seek medical attention.

Serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, or swelling. If you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, discontinue use and seek immediate medical assistance.
