TRICHOLINE

About

TRICHOLINE belongs to a group of medicine known as bile acid binding agent. It is primarily used to treat fatty liver disease. Fatty liver occurs when fat builds up in the liver. Having little amounts of fat in your liver is normal, but excessive amounts can become a health problem. Too much fat in the liver can lead to liver inflammation, which can damage the liver.

TRICHOLINE contains ‘Tricholine’ which is used to prevent fatty liver disease. TRICHOLINE works by the removal of bile acids from the body. When choline levels are low in the blood it can lead to the accumulation of fat in the liver. Choline converts fats into lecithin (fat that is essential for the body) and other lipids that are required for the body. Thus TRICHOLINE helps in decreasing fat in the liver.

Take TRICHOLINE as recommended by your doctor. You may experience constipation, nausea and vomiting. Most of these side effects of TRICHOLINE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

TRICHOLINE should not be taken in conditions like if you are allergic to tricholine or any other ingredients present in it. Inform your doctor before taking TRICHOLINE if you have rashes, itching, shortness of breath, or swelling of face, lips, throat and tongue. TRICHOLINE is safe for children. The dosage is recommended by your doctor. TRICHOLINE is safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but only the given dose by your doctor. A high dosage of TRICHOLINE should not be taken, as safety and efficacy for a higher dose have not been established.

Fatty liver is of two types- non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD).
