Question over 5 years ago

How does Hepawin work?

Dr. Manju Shekhawat MBBS , General Physician

Hepawin contains L-ornithine l-aspartate which is a hepatoprotective agent. It works by promoting the synthesis of glutamine in our body which is an amino acid that binds with ammonia. This binding results in the formation of a complex which is non-toxic in nature and it is easily removed from the body by kidneys in urine. Normally, liver maintains the normal levels of ammonia in our body but to due liver damage caused by any medical condition affects this function which results in high levels of ammonia in our body (hyperammonemia ). These high levels of ammonia are harmful for our body which causes complications such as hepatic encephalopathy. Thus Hepawin helps in inactivation or detoxification and removal of these harmful excessive levels of ammonia which restores its balance in our body.
