About Mecolin Solution

Mecolin Solution belongs to the class of cholesterol-lowering agents primarily used to treat and prevent fatty liver disease and other liver-related disorders like hepatotoxicity. Mecolin Solution also helps improve occasional constipation, loss of appetite, and indigestion. Fatty liver disease, also known as hepatic steatosis, is a medical condition associated with a build-up of fat in liver cells. Hepatotoxicity is referred to as liver damage caused by exposure to drugs. 

Mecolin Solution is composed of two medicines: Sorbitol (laxative) and Tricholine citrate (bile acid-binding agent). Sorbitol is a laxative with a diuretic (urine producing) and cathartic (that stimulates defecation) properties. It helps treat constipation. Tricholine citrate is a bile acid-binding agent that removes excess bile acids from the body. This makes the liver utilize the body's cholesterol in producing bile acid, thus lowering the cholesterol levels in the body. 

Your doctor will advise on how often you need to take Mecolin Solution based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Mecolin Solution include nausea, vomiting, gas, constipation, dizziness, bloating, stomach cramps, dry mouth, and drowsiness. If these side effects occur, they resolve gradually over time and do not usually require medical attention.

If you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding, it is essential to seek medical advice before starting Mecolin Solution . Inform your doctor if you are due to undergo any surgery. Do not take additional laxatives while using Mecolin Solution .

Uses of Mecolin Solution

Fatty liver disease and Hepatotoxicity.

Medicinal Benefits

Mecolin Solution is used to treat and prevent fatty liver disease and other liver-related disorders like hepatotoxicity. It contains Sorbitol (laxative) and Tricholine citrate (bile acid-binding agent). Sorbitol is a laxative with a diuretic (urine producing) and cathartic (that stimulates defecation) properties. It helps treat constipation. Tricholine citrate is a bile acid-binding agent that removes excess bile acids from the body. Due to this, the liver utilizes the body's cholesterol to produce more bile acids, thus lowering the body's cholesterol levels. Tricholine citrate may cause constipation as its side effect. Administering Sorbitol, along with Tricholine citrate, helps in relieving constipation and other digestive problems. Mecolin Solution is also useful in hepatobiliary and digestive disorders, such as biliary atonia or hypotonia, non-obstructive biliary lithiasis (presence of concrements/calcareous material in the gallbladder, the biliary ducts, or both), post hepatitis, chronic hepatic & pancreatic insufficiency.
