Hepagard Injection 10Ml

Hepagard Injection is used to treat hepatic encephalopathy in adults with advanced liver disease, helping to reduce elevated blood ammonia levels and improve related neurological symptoms.

Uses of Hepagard Injection are:

• Hepatic Encephalopathy: Helps detoxify ammonia in the body, improving neurological symptoms linked to advanced liver disease.
• Chronic Liver Disorders: Supports liver function in patients with cirrhosis and other chronic liver conditions where ammonia detoxification is impaired.

Follow these instructions when Hepagard Injection is administered:

• This medicine must be administered only by a qualified healthcare professional.

• The injection site should be thoroughly cleaned before administration.

• The solution should be checked for clarity before use.

• The medicine is administered slowly to ensure proper absorption.

• You will need monitoring during and after administration.

• Inform your doctor about any discomfort at the injection site.

• Consult your doctor for specific advice about your treatment.

Hepagard Injection is administered intravenously or via an intramuscular route.

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.
