Composition:
Each tablet contains:
Silymarin ...................... 70 mg or 140 mg (Eq. to silybin)

Properties:
Liver damage causes changes in the membrane of the liver cell & in this way impairs the functional capacity of the liver. Silymarin acts as a stabilizer of the liver cell membrane, protects the liver against toxic agents & restores damaged liver cell to normal. It also stimulates kupffer's cell & enhances protein synthesis by acting on ribosomal R.N.A. Thus Silymarin improves the general condition & the digestive function. It increases appetite & body weight & restores liver function to normal. Silymarin is absorbed orally. A major part of Silymarin is excreted via the bile & passes through the enterohepatic circulation. Silymarin is excreted mainly by the kidney although metabolites, particularly sulphate & glucuronide conjugates are also present in bile.
The excretion of Silymarin in humans lasts for about 24 hours & the total amount of Silymarin excreted in bile is about 20-40% of the ingested dose Only 3 - 7 % of the total dose is excreted renally.
