Biohep Tablet 10s

Biohep Tablet 10s contains two active ingredients: L-Ornithine L-Aspartate and Pancreatin, which work together to support liver function and improve digestion.

L-Ornithine L-Aspartate is a combination of amino acids that helps lower excess ammonia levels by enhancing the liver’s natural detoxification process (urea cycle). Ammonia is a waste product that can become harmful when it builds up in the body and may affect the brain. By reducing ammonia levels, it supports overall liver health and may help improve symptoms such as fatigue, general weakness and poor appetite associated with liver dysfunction. Pancreatin is a combination of digestive enzymes, including lipase, amylase, and protease. These enzymes help break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, thereby improving digestion, reducing bloating, and promoting better nutrient absorption.

This combination is commonly used in liver disorders along with digestive complaints such as indigestion, heaviness after meals, and bloating. It is particularly useful when both liver support and enzyme supplementation are required.

The effect develops gradually with regular use. L-Ornithine L-Aspartate is processed through normal metabolic pathways in the liver, while Pancreatin acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract with minimal systemic absorption. Patients with significant liver or kidney impairment should use it under medical supervision.

Biohep Tablet 10s may be indicated by your doctor for:

Liver Cirrhosis (with digestive symptoms)

Helps reduce ammonia levels and improves appetite, digestion, and overall well-being.

Fatty Liver Disease

Supports liver metabolism while relieving associated symptoms like heaviness and bloating.

Hepatic Dysfunction

Assists in improving liver detoxification and managing symptoms such as weakness and poor appetite.

Alcohol-Related Liver Disease

Supports liver recovery and improves digestion in patients with associated gastrointestinal symptoms.

• Supports liver function: L-ornithine L-aspartate helps lower excess ammonia and supports the liver’s normal cleansing process.

• Improves Digestion: Pancreatin provides essential enzymes that help break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates for better digestion.

• Relieves bloating: Reduces gas and that heavy, uncomfortable feeling after eating.

• Improves appetite: Better digestion and liver support can help bring back normal hunger.

Biohep Tablet 10s is generally well-tolerated, but some side effects may occur.

Common Side Effects

• Nausea

• Stomach Discomfort

• Diarrhea

• Bloating or Gas

Uncommon Side Effects

• Allergic Skin Reactions

• Vomiting

• Changes in bowel habits, such as increased frequency of stools.

Serious Side Effects (Require Immediate Medical Attention)

• Severe Allergic Reaction: Swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat with difficulty breathing.

• Severe Diarrhea or Vomiting: Leading to dehydration or weakness.

Use Biohep Tablet 10s exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

• The dosage of Biohep Tablet 10s depends on the patient’s condition, symptom severity, and clinical response.

• Take it after meals, usually once or twice a day, as advised by your doctor.

• Tablets: Swallow with water; do not crush or chew.

• Liquid/Syrup: Take the exact dose using the provided measuring cup.

• L-Ornithine L-Aspartate (LOLA): LOLA supports the liver’s cleaning process (detoxification), especially the urea cycle. L-ornithine helps convert toxic ammonia into urea for excretion, while L-aspartate supports this process and promotes glutamine formation, which binds excess ammonia into a less toxic form for safe removal. This helps lower blood ammonia levels and supports liver function.

• Pancreatin: Pancreatin is a combination of digestive enzymes, lipase, amylase, and protease that act in the gastrointestinal tract. These enzymes break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, improving digestion, reducing symptoms like bloating and heaviness, and enhancing nutrient absorption.

Together, this medicine provides dual action by supporting liver function (reducing ammonia and aiding detoxification) and improving digestion (enhancing nutrient breakdown and absorption).

• Take after meals to improve tolerability and optimize enzyme activity (pancreatin works better in the presence of food).

• Continue taking all other prescribed medicines as advised for complete recovery.

• Avoid alcohol, as it can worsen liver stress and reduce treatment benefits.

• No significant drug or food interactions are known, but it is best taken after meals and alcohol should be avoided.

• High protein intake may increase ammonia levels in certain liver conditions; dietary intake should be individualized.

• No significant interactions are known. However, pancreatin may affect the absorption of some nutrients (such as folic acid or iron) with long-term use. Always inform your doctor about other medicines you are taking.

• Antacids (especially calcium/magnesium): May reduce the effectiveness of pancreatin if taken at the same time, keep a gap if possible.

• Severe liver disease: Use under medical supervision, especially in advanced cases.

• Kidney impairment: Use with caution; dose adjustment may be needed.

• Pancreatic disorders: Use only if advised in conditions like pancreatitis.

While the amino acids in Biohep Tablet 10s are generally safe, an excessive amount may cause significant gastrointestinal distress, such as severe nausea or diarrhoea. In case of an overdose, seek medical advice promptly.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not take two doses at once to make up for the missed one.
