L-Carnitine oral solution is mainly used to treat various conditions caused by L-carnitine deficiency, specifically including: 1. Cardiac conditions: such as cardiomyopathy, angina pectoris, and arrhythmia. It improves myocardial function, alleviates symptoms of angina, and helps control arrhythmia by providing nutrition and energy. 2. Hyperlipidemia: L-carnitine deficiency may impair fat metabolism, leading to high blood lipid levels. Administration of this medication can regulate lipid metabolism and reduce blood lipid levels. 3. Skeletal muscle disorders: L-carnitine deficiency may cause dysfunction of skeletal muscles. The medication helps maintain normal skeletal muscle function and improve related symptoms. Additionally, L-carnitine oral solution may have certain therapeutic effects on hypertension, cerebral hypoperfusion, and other conditions; however, specific medication use should follow medical advice.
