Prescription Required.Why?
L-ornithine: A non-essential amino acid involved in the urea cycle, crucial for ammonia detoxification.L-aspartate: An amino acid that plays a role in various metabolic processes, including ammonia metabolism.
Treatment of hepatic encephalopathy (HE): A condition characterized by brain dysfunction resulting from severe liver disease.
Hyperammonemia: Elevated levels of ammonia in the blood.
Support for liver function: In some cases, it may be used to support liver health and recovery, although evidence supporting this is limited and requires further research.
Hepamerz Oa Syp 100ml (L-Ornithine-L-Aspartate) (LOLA) facilitates the removal of excess ammonia from the blood. L-ornithine plays a key role in the urea cycle, converting toxic ammonia into urea, which is then excreted by the kidneys. L-aspartate supports this process and contributes to overall metabolic balance.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Dosage varies depending on the condition being treated and the patient's individual needs. Always follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist.

Dosage should never be altered without consulting with your healthcare provider.
Gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling)
Headache
Drowsiness
Alcohol may exacerbate liver damage; avoid excessive alcohol intake while using LOLA.
Drowsiness is a potential side effect; avoid driving or operating machinery if experiencing drowsiness.
Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding should only be considered under strict medical supervision due to limited safety data.
Dosage adjustments may be necessary; use only as directed by a physician.
Caution is advised in patients with impaired kidney function as LOLA can increase urea levels.
While used to treat liver conditions, careful monitoring is crucial, particularly in patients with severe liver impairment.
Consult your physician or pharmacist for relevant medical literature and studies.
