Hepagard Injection contains L-ornithine L-aspartate (5000 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Ammonia Detoxification: L-ornithine L-aspartate enhances the body's natural ammonia removal pathways, converting toxic ammonia into urea that can be safely eliminated through urine.

• Urea Cycle Support: The ornithine component participates in the urea cycle in liver cells, a biochemical process that transforms harmful ammonia into less toxic substances.

• Liver Cell Function: The aspartic acid component contributes to cellular energy production and supports overall liver cell function, helping maintain proper liver metabolism.

• Neurological Symptom Improvement: By reducing elevated blood ammonia levels, the medicine helps alleviate brain function impairment that occurs when the liver cannot effectively remove toxins from the blood.

• Store Hepagard Injection in a cool, dry place.

• Keep away from direct sunlight.

• Protect ampoules from freezing and extreme temperatures.

• Ensure the product is stored safely out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before use and do not use if expired.

• Follow the manufacturer's storage instructions printed on the packaging.

• Limit protein intake from meat and dairy if you have liver disease, as this can help reduce ammonia levels that Hepagard Injection works to decrease.

• Avoid alcohol completely if you have any form of liver disease, as alcohol consumption worsens liver damage and can counteract the benefits of the medicine.
