Description
Hepagard tablet is a medicine that combines L-Ornithine, L-Aspartate (amino acids), and Pancreatin (a digestive enzyme). It helps the body reduce excess ammonia levels, which is especially beneficial for individuals with liver-related conditions. Hepagard tablet is commonly prescribed to improve digestion, support liver function, and alleviate symptoms associated with liver damage.
This medicine works in two ways: the amino acids L-Ornithine and L-Aspartate assist the liver in converting harmful ammonia into urea, which can then be safely eliminated from the body, while Pancreatin aids digestion by breaking down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates from food. Together, these actions make Hepagard tablet useful for patients with liver disease, indigestion, and digestive discomfort.
You should take Hepagard tablet after meals or exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not alter the dose or stop taking the medicine on your own, even if you start to feel better. Completing the prescribed course ensures maximum benefit and prevents symptoms from recurring.
Before starting Hepagard tablet, it is important to inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Also, notify them about any medicines, supplements, or herbal products you are taking, as well as any existing health issues, to ensure your treatment is safe and effective.
Regular use of Hepagard tablet as prescribed can help improve liver function, reduce indigestion, and support overall recovery. Along with this medication, adhering to your doctor’s advice on diet and lifestyle changes will provide the best results.
