Alsame Tablet contains S-Adenosyl L-Methionine Disulfate Tosylate (SAMe), a nutritional supplement that can restore Glutathione concentrations in the liver and also improves liver damage. SAMe is involved in many biochemical reactions in the human body that regulate the growth, death, and differentiation of hepatocytes (liver cells). Because liver function is compromised in people suffering from liver disease, supplementation with Alsame Tablet is beneficial.

Alsame Tablet is prescribed for the treatment of liver disease. Seek immediate medical attention if you have difficulty breathing after taking the drug. Alsame Tablet may interfere with surgery.
