Adliv Forte Syrup (liver tonic)

Description

Adliv Forte Syrup is a liver tonic manufactured by Albert David Ltd. It is designed to support liver health, promote liver regeneration, and provide protection from liver damage due to various causes, such as alcohol, toxins, and liver diseases. The syrup contains a blend of herbal extracts, vitamins, and amino acids that work together to enhance liver function and overall metabolic health.

Composition:

The exact composition of Adliv Forte Syrup may vary slightly depending on the formulation, but typically it contains the following active ingredients:

1. Silymarin (Milk Thistle Extract):
   • Silymarin is the main active ingredient in milk thistle and is known for its hepatoprotective (liver-protecting) properties. It helps detoxify the liver, protects liver cells from damage caused by free radicals, and supports liver regeneration.
2. L-Ornithine L-Aspartate:
   • This amino acid compound plays an important role in reducing ammonia levels in the liver. Elevated ammonia can occur in conditions such as liver cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy. Ornithine L-Aspartate helps to detoxify the liver and improve metabolic functions.
3. Vitamin B Complex:
   • Contains a combination of B1 (Thiamine), B6 (Pyridoxine), B12, and Folic Acid, all of which support liver function, aid in metabolism, and help reduce the toxic effects of certain liver diseases.
4. Vitamin E:
   • A powerful antioxidant that helps protect liver cells from oxidative damage and aids in the recovery of liver tissue.
5. Zinc:
   • Zinc plays a role in many enzymatic processes within the liver, including detoxification. It also has immune-supporting properties that can help the body fight infections and aid in liver repair.
6. Artichoke Extract:
   • Artichoke is known to promote bile production, which aids in fat digestion and helps the liver detoxify waste products. It is also thought to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
7. Turmeric (Curcumin):
   • Curcumin, the active component of turmeric, has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can support liver function and protect it from inflammation and damage.
8. Other Herbal Ingredients:
   • Depending on the formulation, the syrup may contain other herbs such as Andrographis paniculata (known for its anti-inflammatory and liver-protective properties) or Chicory (which can help support liver detoxification).

Indications (Uses):

Adliv Forte Syrup is typically used for:

• Liver Protection: To help maintain and support liver function.
• Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): For individuals with fatty liver, helping to reduce fat accumulation in the liver and improve liver function.
• Hepatitis: To support recovery from viral infections like hepatitis B or hepatitis C.
• Alcoholic Liver Disease: To help protect the liver from damage caused by chronic alcohol consumption.
• Liver Cirrhosis: For early stages of cirrhosis, to help improve liver health and slow disease progression.
• Toxin-Induced Liver Damage: To aid in the recovery of liver function after exposure to harmful toxins (such as medications, heavy metals, or environmental toxins).
• Liver Regeneration: Helps promote liver cell regeneration and the healing of liver tissue after damage.

Dosage:

The dosage of Adliv Forte Syrup will depend on the specific condition being treated and the individual’s health status. However, a typical dosage guideline might be:

• For Adults:
  • 10-20 mL of syrup twice daily (after meals) or as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
• For Children:
  • The dosage for children should be adjusted based on age and weight. Always consult with a pediatrician for the appropriate dose for children.
• Shake well before use to ensure the uniformity of the syrup.

Side Effects:

Adliv Forte Syrup is generally considered safe when taken as directed, but as with any medication or supplement, there may be some side effects, including:

• Gastrointestinal issues: Such as nausea, diarrhea, or stomach upset.
• Allergic reactions: Rash, itching, or swelling, especially if you are allergic to any of the herbal ingredients like milk thistle or turmeric.
• Headache or dizziness (less common).

If any of these side effects are severe or persistent, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.

Precautions:

• Allergy: If you have a known allergy to milk thistle, turmeric, or any other ingredient in the syrup, avoid using it.
• Liver Disease: If you have severe liver conditions like cirrhosis, liver failure, or any serious liver impairment, use the syrup with caution and under medical supervision.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: The safety of Adliv Forte Syrup during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not been firmly established. Use this supplement only under the guidance of a healthcare provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Medication Interactions: The herbal ingredients in Adliv Forte Syrup may interact with certain medications, especially those that affect liver enzymes or those used for liver disease (e.g., statins, anticoagulants). Consult your doctor if you are on any prescription or over-the-counter medications.

Drug Interactions:

• Medications affecting liver enzymes: If you are taking drugs that affect the metabolism of liver enzymes (such as certain antifungal or antiviral medications), Adliv Forte Syrup may interact with them.
• Blood-thinning medications: If you are on anticoagulants (like warfarin), talk to your doctor, as milk thistle and other ingredients may affect blood clotting.

Storage:

• Store Adliv Forte Syrup at room temperature (between 20°C to 25°C, 68°F to 77°F), away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Seal the bottle tightly after each use to prevent contamination.
