SILBOSTIN CAPSULE

SILBOSTIN CAPSULE is used in the treatment of chronic liver disease and liver cirrhosis. Liver diseases lead to disturbance of vital liver functions. SILBOSTIN CAPSULE effectively prevents multiple liver disease mechanisms and ensures protection, regeneration, and rejuvenation of the liver.

SILBOSTIN CAPSULE contains Silymarin. Silymarin is obtained from the milk thistle plant. Silymarin’s main component is silibinin, which has strong antioxidative and antifibrotic properties. These properties make it useful for the treatment of chronic liver diseases and liver cirrhosis. Silymarin helps in protecting the liver from free radical damage and prevents hepatic lipid peroxidation. It increases glutathione and protein synthesis and helps in the production of new liver cells.  

Take SILBOSTIN CAPSULE as recommended. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as back pain, diarrhoea, dizziness, hair loss, nausea, and rash. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Liver disease: The liver is an important organ responsible for carrying out many vital functions such as metabolism, detoxification of waste, and energy storage. Liver diseases occur due to disturbances of liver functions. Liver diseases include acute and chronic hepatitis, chronic alcoholic liver damage, fatty liver, jaundice, liver cirrhosis, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). Hepatitis occurs due to viral infection leading to liver damage and inflammation, making it difficult for the liver to function properly. The fatty liver could occur due to excess alcohol consumption (alcoholic fatty liver) or other factors (non-alcoholic fatty liver). Liver cirrhosis is the damage of the liver, which causes scarring and liver failure. Jaundice occurs due to the build-up of bilirubin in the blood, which causes yellowing of skin and eyes. Symptoms include dark urine, yellowing of skin and eyes, loss of appetite, fatigue, bloody or dark stools, nausea, and vomiting.
