The liver has many important tasks in the body. It neutralizes toxic toxic products and metabolic poisons, preserves energy reserves in the form of glycogen, and takes part in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism. In addition, in the liver there is a supply of trace elements and vitamins, bile is formed and secreted here.
This organ has an amazing ability to regenerate. Its initial size can be restored even with only 25% of healthy tissue. However, the recovery process is very slow. A great influence is also that which is harmful to the liver. Adverse factors include alcohol consumption, the penetration of viral hepatitis. Under their influence, weakening of the liver function occurs, in particular, the formation and secretion of bile is impaired.
Inflammatory processes in the bile ducts (cholangitis), gall bladder (cholecystitis), spasms in the ducts or obstruction of the gallstone are quite common causes that cause difficulties with bile flow into the intestines.
In order to prevent and to eliminate various diseases, hepatotropic drugs are used, including tablets for the liver. Depending on the mechanism of therapeutic effect and the site of application, the drugs are divided into choleretic drugs, cholekinetics, choleretics, cholelitolytics, hepatoprotectors. In addition, vitamins for the liver (vitamin C, E and lipoic acid) are used in the process of restoring the work of the body.
Among choleretic drugs, the following should be highlighted:
"Allohol", it helps to increase the secretory function of liver cells, reduce the processes of fermentation and decay in the intestine, increase motor activity and secretory function in the digestive tract.
These liver pills contain garlic, bile, activated charcoal and nettle leaves.
The drug is used for chronic hepatitis, cholangitis, cholecystitis, atonic constipation, biliary dyskinesia.
"Holagol" is a combined choleretic agent with a moderate antispasmodic and choleretic effect. The release form of the drug is drops for internal administration. "Holagol" is indicated for chronic cholecystitis, gallstone disease, cholangitis (in the remission period), dyspeptic syndrome after operations on the biliary tract, as well as for chronic liver diseases.
To hepatoprotectors include drugs such as tablets for the liver, "Karsil" and "Essential."
The composition of the first remedy includes dry extract from the fruits of spotted milk thistle. The hepatoprotective properties of the drug are determined by the presence of silymarin in this plant. Karsil liver pills have a membrane stabilizing effect and help accelerate regenerative processes in the body. In addition, the tool, binding to free radicals, turns them into compounds with less toxicity. Karsil also prevents the destruction of liver cell structures.
Indications for its use are chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis (as part of a complex of drugs), toxic lesions, steatosis, conditions after suffering toxic or infectious hepatitis. The tool is used as a prophylaxis for prolonged use of alcohol, hepatotoxic drugs, in cases of chronic intoxication. "Karsil" is also used in the correction of lipid metabolism disorders.
"Essential" is a comprehensive tool. It contains vitamins and phospholipids. The drug is indicated for hepatitis, cirrhosis, toxic lesions, toxicosis during pregnancy, fatty degeneration, psoriasis, radiation sickness, and hepatic coma.
