What is Lorifit 5gm Injection?
Lorifit 5gm Injection contains two amino acids and is primarily used to treat liver diseases. It is commonly administered to prevent abnormal brain function caused by hepatic encephalopathy (HE).
What is the purpose of Lorifit 5gm Injection in treating hepatic encephalopathy (HE)?
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a brain disorder that occurs in individuals with liver failure. In these cases, bacteria in the intestines produce ammonia, leading to its accumulation in the blood. This ammonia build-up disrupts brain function and causes HE. Lorifit 5gm Injection works by removing ammonia from the blood, reducing its free ammonia levels and consequently mitigating the abnormal brain activity caused by liver disease.
How is Lorifit 5gm Injection administered?
Lorifit 5gm Injection is administered intravenously as a daily injection. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your individual health status and the severity of your condition.
