• This medicine helps raise levels of arginine, an important amino acid that supports detoxification, immune function, and nitric oxide production.
• It also offers hepatoprotective (liver-protecting) effects, especially in individuals with fatty liver disease or compromised liver function.
• Hepacor Sachet 5 gm helps maintain a healthy nitrogen balance in the body by converting toxic nitrogen waste into less harmful forms.
• By lowering ammonia levels, it may indirectly improve cognitive symptoms associated with hepatic encephalopathy, such as confusion or lethargy.
