Hepatofalc planta

Hepatofalk Planta is a complex herbal medicine; the therapeutic effect is provided by the combined activity of its elements.

Silibinin, which is contained inside spotted milk thistle, has an antitoxic and hepatoprotective effect. It interacts with the walls of hepatocytes, normalizing their condition. In addition, it prevents the loss of transaminases, synthesizes free radicals, slows down lipid peroxidation and prevents the destruction of cell structures (this leads to a decrease in the volume of malonic dialdehyde formed, as well as to a weakening of oxygen absorption processes).

Indications Hepatofalc planta

It is used in case of such violations:

• liver intoxication (also drug or alcohol-induced);
• hepatitis of various origins in the active or chronic phase, as well as liver cirrhosis (as a supportive agent);
• a spastic pain syndrome that occurs in the case of diseases of the biliary tract or gall bladder (cholangitis or chronic cholecystitis and dyskinesia affecting the bile ducts or bladder);
• other diseases in the gastrointestinal tract;
• dilation in the bile ducts or varicose veins affecting the veins of the organs inside the gastrointestinal tract;
• postcholecystectomy syndrome;
• dyspepsia.

In case of cholelithiasis, the medicine is used only with the permission of the attending physician.

Pharmacodynamics

The medicine prevents the passage of some hepatotoxic components (including the poison of Amanita phalloides) into the cell. It has a stimulating effect on RNA polymerase, increases protein and phospholipid biosynthesis, and also increases the rate of healing of damaged hepatocytes. In case of alcohol poisoning of the liver, the medicinal substance blocks the production of acetaldehyde and synthesizes free radicals, and in addition, preserves the existing reserves of the element glutathione, which helps detoxification processes inside hepatocytes.

The alkaloid substance chelidonine, which is contained in celandine, has analgesic, choleretic and antispasmodic activity.

Turmeric has a choleretic (cholekinetic and choleretic) and anti-inflammatory activity, reduces the cholesterol content of bile, and at the same time demonstrates a bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect on salmonella with Staphylococcus aureus, as well as mycobacteria.

Side effects Hepatofalc planta

The medicine may cause signs of allergy. Sometimes a slight laxative effect or discomfort "under the pit of the stomach" is noted. Long-term use may provoke the development of dyspeptic disorders.

Overdose

Intoxication with Hepatofalk Planta may cause disturbances associated with the effects of its components.

The use of large doses of celandine extract leads to the development of stomach pain, bloody diarrhea, intestinal colic, hematuria and urge to urinate, which is accompanied by confusion and severe dizziness.

In case of poisoning with turmeric extract, signs of gastric irritation (nausea and vomiting) may appear.

It is necessary to eliminate the excess of the drug (perform gastric lavage and induce vomiting). Activated carbon is also prescribed to prevent absorption of the drug. If necessary, symptomatic treatment measures are performed.

Storage conditions

Hepatofalk Planta should be stored in a dark and dry place, out of the reach of small children. Temperature values should not exceed 25°C.

[ 9 ]

Shelf life

Hepatofalk Planta can be used for a 3-year period from the date of sale of the medicinal substance.

[ 10 ]

Application for children

It should not be prescribed to children under 12 years of age, because the experience of using Hepatofalk Plant during these periods is very limited.
