What is Heptazen-IV Infusion?
Heptazen-IV Infusion consists of two amino acids. It is commonly used to prevent abnormal brain function in patients with liver disease, known as hepatic encephalopathy.
How does Heptazen-IV Infusion treat hepatic encephalopathy (HE)?
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a brain disorder that occurs in individuals with liver failure. When the liver fails to function properly, there is an increase in bacterial growth in the gut, which leads to ammonia accumulation in the blood. This buildup of ammonia has detrimental effects on the brain, causing hepatic encephalopathy. Heptazen-IV Infusion works by detoxifying ammonia from the blood, thereby reducing free ammonia levels and decreasing abnormal brain function caused by liver disease.
How is Heptazen-IV Infusion administered?
Heptazen-IV Infusion is administered intravenously daily as an injection. The specific dosage is determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient's individual health status and condition of liver disease.
