Hepatitis

Hepafitol is a medicinal plant medicine. It is used for pathologies that occur in the area of the gallstones or liver. It is prescribed for biliary diseases.

Drug activity is due to the effects of a complex of biological elements that are in the composition of the artichoke leaves. It has hepatoprotective, choleretic and diuretic properties, as well as lowers blood levels of urea. Due to the components of the artichoke extract, the metabolism processes are stabilized.

The drug helps to remove toxins from the body (among them alkaloids, nitro compounds and heavy metal salts).
