Frequently asked questions
Can I drink alcohol while taking Alguard Infusion?
No, it is not recommended to consume alcohol when taking Alguard Infusion. Alcohol may worsen liver complications for patients with liver failure, even though there are no reported interactions.
What is Alguard Infusion?
Alguard Infusion contains two amino acids and is primarily used in the treatment of liver diseases to prevent abnormal brain function (encephalopathy) caused by liver disease.
How does Alguard Infusion treat hepatic encephalopathy (HE)?
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) occurs when patients with liver failure experience an increase in gut bacteria, leading to ammonia accumulation in the bloodstream. This causes brain dysfunction due to impaired liver function. Alguard Infusion works by detoxifying ammonia from the body, thereby reducing free ammonia levels and lessening the abnormal brain activity associated with liver failure.
How is Alguard Infusion administered?
Alguard Infusion is administered daily as an intravenous injection into a vein. The exact dosage will be determined by your doctor based on your individual health condition and the severity of your disease.
