What kind of drug is this magical Essentiale forte? Listen to the ad, it's that simple: “Liver problems? Run to the pharmacy quickly, buy this medicine and everything will be all right! ” They say that even liver cells are renewed and restored. Yes, and other internal organs. Well, we, being by nature our people who do not really trust annoying television advertising, let us try to figure out the Essential Forte phenomenon ourselves.
So, judging by what is written in the instructions for use of this medicine, it is quite widely used in the treatment of a variety of liver pathologies: chronic hepatitis, alcoholic dystrophy, cirrhosis and others. The drug helps to normalize the detoxification function of the liver. This means that it helps to eliminate toxins.
The instruction also claims that indeed treatment with the use of Essential Forte restores the structure of the liver at the cellular level, inhibits the appearance of connective tissue in the organ. Now let's digress for one minute from studying the instructions for the sake of justice.
The fact is that I witnessed a re-examination of one patient on an ultrasound machine. The fact that he took a certain period of time only the drug Essentiale forte, I know for sure. This is my stairwell neighbor, then I studied at a medical school, and my mother, a therapist, prescribed him treatment. She explained how to take Essentiale forte. Several times I even had to go to the pharmacy and buy medicine for him.
So I remembered very well how, during an ultrasound scan, he was told that his terrible chronic hepatitis was a thing of the past. Now, if my neighbor continues to abstain from alcohol, his liver will serve him for a long time - faithfully. So said the doctor, and I thought about whether there are substitutes for such a wonderful drug, Essential Forte.
It turned out that an alternative to Essentiale forte is the usual thistle grass. Indications for its use in one form or another are almost the same. People call it “thistle”, and all of you must have seen it. Often grows right along the road on railway embankments and vacant lots. Here it is! The fact is that we often neglect what grows or is right in front of our eyes.
