Introduction
Hugan tablets can protect the liver, and the specific analysis is as follows: Hugan tablets are a type of traditional Chinese medicine that functions to soothe the liver, regulate qi, strengthen the spleen, and promote digestion. They help lower transaminase levels and have hepatoprotective effects, improving liver function. They are commonly used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis, early-stage cirrhosis, fatty liver, and similar conditions. Hugan tablets can also repair damaged liver cells.
Generally, taking hepatoprotective tablets can help protect the liver. The detailed analysis is as follows:
Hepatoprotective tablets are a type of traditional Chinese medicine that functions to soothe the liver, regulate qi, strengthen the spleen, and promote digestion. They can lower transaminase levels and have the effects of protecting the liver and improving liver function. These tablets are commonly used to treat chronic hepatitis, early-stage cirrhosis, fatty liver, and similar conditions. Hepatoprotective tablets can repair damaged liver cells, promote the synthesis of hepatic glycogen and proteins, inhibit extracellular matrix synthesis, and improve the survival rate of liver cells. While protecting cell membranes, these tablets also shield organelle membranes from external stimuli, thereby reducing inflammatory responses in liver cells. In individuals without liver disease, taking hepatoprotective tablets may enhance immune resistance to some extent, suppress cell-mediated immune rejection reactions, and improve phagocytic capacity to prevent viral invasion. However, it should be noted that long-term use of hepatoprotective tablets may potentially impair liver function. Therefore, these tablets should only be taken under a doctor's guidance and within the dosage specified in the product instructions. Hepatoprotective tablets primarily work by controlling viral replication; if a patient’s condition improves, prolonged use of the medication is unnecessary.
Note: If medication is required, it must be taken under the guidance of a physician. Alcohol consumption should be avoided during treatment, as alcohol (ethanol) is primarily metabolized by the liver and drinking may increase the liver's workload.
