Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to consume alcohol while receiving Heptate Infusion?
No, consuming alcohol is not recommended when taking Heptate Infusion. It is a medication prescribed for individuals with liver failure. While there are no reported interactions between the two, it's important to avoid alcohol as it can worsen pre-existing liver complications.
What is Heptate Infusion and what does it treat?
Heptate Infusion consists of two amino acids and is primarily used in cases of liver disease to help prevent abnormal brain function called hepatic encephalopathy (HE).
How does Heptate Infusion work in treating HE?
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a brain disorder often observed in individuals with liver failure. Increased bacterial activity within the intestine leads to ammonia buildup, which directly affects brain function. Heptate Infusion works by detoxifying blood ammonia, thereby decreasing free ammonia levels in the body and preventing further brain damage caused by liver dysfunction.
How is Heptate Infusion administered?
Heptate Infusion is usually administered daily as an injection into a vein. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your individual health condition and the severity of your liver disease.
