Hepanor 500

Hepanor 500 is a flavonoid derived from Silybum marianum, a plant commonly known as milk thistle. Hepanor 500 exhibits hepatoprotective and regenerative properties and is one of the most widely used natural compounds for the treatment of hepatic diseases worldwide, due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic activities. Hepanor 500 also increases hepatic levels of glutathione by raising cysteine availability, while inhibiting its catabolism to taurine that may enhance the antioxidant defense in liver. Hepanor 500 was found to oppose oxidative stress, and to slow the progression of hepatic fibrosis in alcohol-fed baboons.

Hepanor 500 is used for the treatment of Jaundice,chronic inflammatory liver conditions, hepatic cirrhosis ,alcoholic liver damage.

Take Hepanor 500 in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Take Hepanor 500 orally with plenty of water. Do not chew, crush or break it.

Different mechanisms of action of Hepanor 500 are as follow: Increasing the regenerative ability of the liver cells by enhancing the synthesis of DNA and RNA, as Hepanor 500 has a steroid structure; Altering the structure of the hepatocyte external membrane, that prevents entrance of the xenobiotics into the cell (poisoning with Amanita mushroom is a noteworthy example of such mechanism); Scavenging free radicals and increasing the cellular content of glutathione that leads to the inhibition of lipid peroxidation; Another mechanism of action of Hepanor 500 is modifying the transporters and receptors of cell membranes such as ABC transporters (P-gp), organic anion uptake transporter peptides (OATP), bile salt export pump, and TNF-α-dependent transporters.
