Dr. Yang Ziqi
Diammonium Glycyrrhizinate Enteric-coated Capsules are primarily used in the treatment of chronic liver diseases, such as hepatitis and cirrhosis. This medication exerts anti-inflammatory effects, protects hepatocyte membranes, and improves liver function. It can reduce transaminase levels and promote regeneration of liver cells, thus effectively treating acute and chronic hepatitis accompanied by elevated alanine aminotransferase levels. When using Diammonium Glycyrrhizinate Enteric-coated Capsules, attention should be paid to potential side effects, such as gastrointestinal reactions including nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension, as well as cardiovascular system reactions such as dizziness, headache, and palpitations. Long-term, high-dose use may also lead to water and sodium retention and pseudohyperaldosteronism, manifesting as edema and hypertension. It is recommended to use the medication under a physician's guidance and to regularly monitor blood pressure and electrolyte balance.
