Levijon Injection

Levijon Injection is an injection made by Sami Pharma Ltd that contains L-Ornithine L-Aspartate, an amino acid medicine that lowers ammonia in liver disease. It is used for hepatic encephalopathy, cirrhosis and liver disease with high ammonia. Pack size: 10ml.

Uses of Levijon Injection

Levijon Injection is used in people with chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis, to lower high blood ammonia levels. Raised ammonia can affect the brain and cause hepatic encephalopathy, with confusion, sleepiness, poor concentration and personality changes. It is given as an infusion in hospital or as granules by mouth, usually alongside other treatments such as lactulose.

How Levijon Injection works

L-ornithine and L-aspartate are amino acids that feed the body’s own ammonia-clearing pathways. They help the liver turn ammonia into urea, which is passed out in the urine, and help muscles bind ammonia into glutamine. This lowers the amount of ammonia reaching the brain.

Possible side effects

Side effects with Levijon Injection are uncommon and mostly mild. They can include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Stomach discomfort
• Wind or bloating
• Diarrhoea

Seek urgent help for increasing confusion, extreme drowsiness, vomiting blood or black stools, as these can signal worsening liver disease or bleeding.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have severe kidney disease, as Levijon Injection is not suitable for people with severe kidney failure.
• Follow your doctor’s advice on diet and fluids, and avoid alcohol completely.
• Keep taking other prescribed treatments, such as lactulose, unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Do not drive if you feel confused or drowsy.
• Use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if your doctor advises it.
