Doctors reviews
Essential Forte N is recommended by doctors as a good hepatoprotective agent for liver damage. Most experts talk about its directed action, which allows you to restore and maintain the functions of an important body.
The drug is prescribed not only for the detection of diffuse changes in the liver. It should definitely be used in the treatment of those patients who have made a firm decision to fight heavy addiction and have stopped drinking alcohol. Reviews on Essential Fort N and the opinions of doctors posted on the Internet explain the need for the drug in planned narcology, when, in addition to the main one, there is a concomitant disease in the form of liver and gall bladder lesions.
Doctors also advise this medicine for the treatment of specific manifestations after prolonged use of toxic drugs, antibiotics, a course of chemotherapy.
However, as with any therapy, some caution is needed. Together with the relief of symptoms, the level of total bilirubin may be disturbed. Therefore, during the course of the use of "Essential Forte N", which usually lasts about three months, you should visit the doctor several times in order to conduct a laboratory study of the main indicators of blood.
We can say that Russian doctors are satisfied with the drug and often prescribe it. At the same time, they note the high cost of the medicine and the possibility of nausea in the first weeks of use, which repels some patients and forces them to select substitutes.
Analogs
In Russia, several dozen drugs with a similar effect are being sold. It is difficult to choose the right drug on your own. The best solution, of course, is to contact a specialist who will appoint an analogue of Essential Forte N. Reviews on the Web can confuse the layman and direct him on the wrong path. However, it is necessary to know about the main effect of a number of substitutes, their properties and contraindications, if only to warn the attending physician about the possible reaction of your body to a particular analogue. We learn what substitutes consist of and how they differ from Essential Forte N.
"Phosphogliv"
The Russian manufacturer offers a good option at an affordable price, which has a number of differences from the German counterpart "Essential Forte N". Instructions, reviews of doctors, opinions of patients allow us to think about the similarity of the two drugs. But there are five main differences that you should pay attention to:
- Despite the fact that in both cases phospholipids are able to normalize the cell membrane, the phosphogliv preparation also contains glycyrrhizic acid. It is believed that in addition to recovery, it reduces the risk of degeneration of liver fibrosis into cirrhosis, which means that it can be used both for treatment and for prevention, which does not allow the disease to go to a life-threatening stage.
- It is scientifically proven that Phosphogliv acts better than analogues, which do not contain glycyrrhizic acid. Its effectiveness is 50% higher in the treatment of fatty hepatosis. Studies confirm the improvement of blood counts and the state of the body by ultrasound.
- “Phosphogliv”, in contrast to “Essential Forte N”, is included in the list of vital and most important drugs. It is used for inpatient treatment and is prescribed according to preferential recipes.
- The cost of a domestic analogue is much lower, which makes it more profitable to purchase a medicine designed for a long course.
- An imported drug can be used during pregnancy, so gynecologists prefer to prescribe it.
- You can store domestic medicine at temperatures up to 25 degrees. Essential Forte N requires refrigeration.
Gepa-Merz
This drug is produced in the form of granules for the preparation of a solution that is taken orally, and in the form of a concentrate for injection. That is why it is not as convenient to use as Essential Forte N capsules. The doctors' comments on the Hepa-Merz drug report a narrower spectrum of its use. It is not used for necrosis, hepatocyte dystrophy, psoriasis, radiation syndrome and toxicosis. The course of treatment is much shorter and is no more than 30 days.
Gepa-Merz has a completely different principle of action. It consists of two amino acids that provide the detoxifying properties of the agent. The components of the drug bind ammonia, reducing the effect of toxins on the body. It also has the following effects:
- Increases the synthesis of insulin and growth hormone.
- Removes dyspeptic, asthenic and pain syndromes.
- Normalizes body weight with steatosis and steatohepatitis.
- Stabilizes protein metabolism.
The main difference is the speed of the Hepa-Merz preparation and the presence of more contraindications when it is prescribed.
"Rezalyut Pro"
From the point of view of the average person, it may seem that the composition of the two analogues is absolutely identical. However, it must be borne in mind that soybean phospholipids (choline) are placed in Essential Forte N capsules. At the same time, in Resalut Pro, with the same form of release, phospholipids from soya lecithin, that is, phosphotidylcholine and phosphoglycerides, are included.
The common indications for both drugs are called:
- cirrhosis;
- fatty degeneration of the liver;
- toxic organ damage;
- chronic hepatitis;
- the need to lower cholesterol.
Of course, this list is somewhat narrower than the spectrum of action described in the instructions for Essential Fort N. Responses to Resalute Pro, however, indicate the effectiveness of the drug in the fight against many liver problems. But you should know that he has a little more adverse reactions, including:
- gastralgia;
- diarrhea;
- rash;
- vomiting
- nausea;
- spot hemorrhages.
The use of both drugs is long. One course should be three months. However, “Resalute Pro” must be taken before meals with a large amount of water.
Ovesol
When considering this tool, you need to know that this is a biologically active supplement that has a choleretic effect. The composition of Ovesol includes extracts:
- oats;
- immortelle sand;
- turmeric
- peppermint;
- stranded wire.
Such components due to the plant nature contain a lot of vitamins, minerals, tannins, amino acids, macrocells. The use of dietary supplements removes pain, colic, heaviness that occurs after eating, prevents the formation of kidney stones.
Unlike Essential Forte N, the supplement has several forms of release: tea, drops and tablets. These funds have little in common. More specifically, the only similarity is their liver-directed action. Everything else, from the composition to the methods and duration of administration, differs dramatically.
Heptral
This drug is also a hepatoprotector, but it belongs to another group, namely, to the category of amino acid derivatives, while Essential Forte N is classified as essential phospholipids. Heptral is produced in tablets with the active substance ademetionine 1,4-butanedisulfanate in an amount of 400 or 500 mg. A lypholizate is also made for the preparation of a solution for injection in a volume of 400 mg in one ampoule.
The main action is to stimulate the outflow of bile and its synthesis. In addition, the drug is used for drug withdrawal in order to detoxify the body, helps to get out of depression and can participate in the restoration of cartilage. It is prescribed for stagnation of bile in hepatocytes for various reasons, cholestasis during pregnancy and dyspepsia. Unlike Essential Forte N, the drug has many more contraindications and side effects, which can occur in the form of headaches, muscle and joint pain, stool disorders, bloating, bleeding, general weakness, hyperthermia and hypotension.
Ursosan
This tool relates to drugs that have ursodeoxycholic acid in their composition. It is produced in the form of gelatin capsules. Doctors say about the appointment of "Ursosan" in the case when the liver is impaired due to stagnation of bile and the formation of gallstones. Recommendations for the use of Essential Forte N are due to damage to the liver cells.
However, drugs have many common features:
- similar forms of release;
- hepatoprotective effect;
- minimum side effects and contraindications.
In this case, it should be clarified that, if Essential Forte N promotes an increase in parenchyma due to the restoration of hepatocytes, which leads to an increase in the functional capabilities of the liver, then Ursosan dissolves cholesterol stones and reduces cholesterol synthesis, which ensures a decrease in the load on the liver during any kind of organ pathology.
Thus, all the drugs presented have both common features with Essential Forte N, and a lot of differences. It is worth using them only on the recommendation of a doctor and always in the prescribed dosages, otherwise the result may not be a cure, but harm done to the whole body.
