Shamliv Syrup

Introduction

Shamliv is a medication that contains the active ingredients Silymarin and Lecithin. It is available in syrup form and is commonly used to treat certain liver conditions.

Uses

Shamliv is prescribed for the management of liver disorders such as fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis. It may also be used as a supportive therapy for individuals with liver damage caused by alcohol consumption or certain medications. This medication aims to improve liver function and promote overall liver health.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Shamliv may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual patient’s response to treatment.

Shake the bottle well before use and use a measuring device to ensure accurate dosage.

Mechanism of Action

Silymarin and Lecithin, the active ingredients in Shamliv, work together to support liver health. Silymarin is derived from the milk thistle plant and has antioxidant properties that help protect liver cells from damage. Lecithin, a naturally occurring substance, aids in the breakdown of fats and promotes the regeneration of liver cells. Together, these ingredients help improve liver function and protect it from further damage.

Common side effects may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, or stomach discomfort. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.

In rare cases, allergic reactions to the medication may occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing.

Shamliv may interact with certain medications, including anticoagulants (blood thinners) and antiplatelet drugs. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal products, to avoid any potential drug interactions.

This medication should be used with caution in individuals with known hypersensitivity to the active ingredients or any other components of the syrup.

Shamliv is intended for adult use and should not be given to children without proper medical guidance. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their healthcare provider before using this medication.
