Hepagut Tablet is a combination of two amino acids (L-Ornithine L-Aspartate) and a digestive enzyme (Pancreatin). L-Ornithine works by reducing blood ammonia levels. This helps the diseased liver carry out its function smoothly. L-Aspartate works by generating energy and helping in regeneration of damaged liver cells. Pancreatin aids in digestion of food.

Take it during or immediately after a meal or a snack as per your doctor’s advice and drink plenty of water along with it. Inform your doctor if you experience severe or long-lasting abdominal pain, persistent vomiting and signs of dehydration like dark colored and strong-smelling urine and a low frequency of urination.
