Medicine Overview of Methicap Capsule
Introduction
Methicap is a flavonoid derived from Silybum marianum, a plant commonly known as milk thistle. Methicap 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. Methicap also increases hepatic levels of glutathione by raising cysteine availability, while inhibiting its catabolism to taurine that may enhance the antioxidant defense in liver. Methicap was found to oppose oxidative stress, and to slow the progression of hepatic fibrosis in alcohol-fed baboons.
