PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION
A 7.4 Lipotropic agents
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION
Animal studies have shown that PROHEP protects the liver against a variety of toxins and clinical studies have indicated that it promotes improvement in measurable liver functions.
The liver hydrolysate with essential amino acids contained in PROHEP is obtained from fresh liver, by a special process of hydrolysis. In addition to blood-forming elements including vitamin B12, the hydrolysis of fresh liver cells yields important nucleosides and nucleotides, which act directly on cell metabolism.
Together with the essential amino acids, they protect the liver and stimulate the regeneration of an already affected liver.
PROHEP also promotes local hepatic blood flow and increases diuresis in the presence of ascites.
The effect of PROHEP is further enhanced by the hepatotropic and lipotropic activity of cysteine, choline and inositol.
Choline is accepted as a methyl donor in metabolic processes.
Animal studies indicate that choline (bitartrate) and inositol reduce fatty infiltration of the liver.
Vitamin B12 is an essential factor in the formation of normal red blood cells.
Cysteine, as forerunner of glutathione, has been used in aiding liver functions and treating alcoholism.
INDICATIONS
PROHEP is indicated in liver cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis.
Because of its detoxifying properties, it is also indicated in patients subject to liver damage and liver stress (such as excessive intake of alcohol and fats).
