Introduction
Patients with fatty liver can usually take liver-protective medications such as polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules, glucurolactone capsules, and silybin capsules. Fatty liver is a type of liver disease primarily caused by factors such as excessive obesity, dieting, and drug irritation. The main ingredient in polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules is polyene phosphatidylcholine, which contains unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid, and other components.
Fatty liver can usually be treated with hepatoprotective medications such as polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules, glucurolactone capsules, and silybin capsules. The details are as follows:
1. Polyene Phosphatidylcholine Capsules
Fatty liver is a type of liver disease primarily caused by factors such as excessive obesity, extreme dieting, or drug irritation. In affected individuals, liver cells are subjected to external stimuli, leading to structural changes in hepatocytes and fat infiltration, ultimately resulting in fatty liver. The main active ingredient in this medication is polyene phosphatidylcholine, which contains unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid, and other components. After administration, it helps protect the liver, inhibit fatty degeneration, and promote the repair of damaged liver tissue.
2. Glucurolactone Capsules
After taking glucurolactone capsules, the active ingredients bind with toxic substances in the body to form non-toxic compounds, which are then metabolized and excreted from the body. This process reduces the overall level of toxins in the body and helps improve liver function.
3. Silybin Capsules
These capsules help stabilize liver cell membranes, protect enzyme systems, scavenge oxygen free radicals, and enhance the liver’s intrinsic detoxification capacity, thereby exerting a protective effect on the liver.
In addition, other medications such as simvastatin tablets, ornithine aspartate granules, and compound bovine fetal liver extract tablets may also be used. It is recommended to take these medications under the guidance of a physician, avoiding self-medication.
