Hepa Merz Injection 10ml

Hepa Merz Injection 10ml, made by Brookes Pharmaceutical Labs (pak) Ltd, is an amino acid medicine that lowers ammonia in liver disease. Its active ingredient is L-Ornithine L-Aspartate, and it is used for hepatic encephalopathy, cirrhosis and liver disease with high ammonia. Pack size: hepa merz injection 10ml.

Uses of Hepa Merz Injection 10ml

Hepa Merz Injection 10ml 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 Hepa Merz Injection 10ml 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 Hepa Merz Injection 10ml 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.

• Keep taking other prescribed treatments, such as lactulose, unless your doctor says otherwise.
