Hepanor500 mg

Composition

• Hepanor 500mg Capsule is manufactured by Drug International Ltd. and contains Silymarin (dried extract of Milk Thistle fruits) 500mg, as confirmed on a Bangladesh pharmacy source.
• This catalog also contains Hepanor 140mg and Hepanor 70mg tablets, both also manufactured by Drug International Ltd. - all three are confirmed to be from the same manufacturer, so this is simply a third strength and dosage form (a higher-strength capsule, versus the lower-strength tablets) within the same product line, not a brand-name collision between different companies. Buyers should still confirm which specific strength/form they intend to purchase, since dosing differs across the three.

Uses & Indications

• Per the manufacturer's label, Hepanor (Silymarin) is indicated as a hepatoprotective agent, used in the management of cirrhosis, hepatitis, fatty liver disease, jaundice, and liver damage related to drugs, alcohol, or diabetes.
• As with any liver-health product, a proper diagnosis of the underlying liver condition from a physician is recommended before starting treatment, since Silymarin is generally used as a supportive/adjunct therapy rather than a standalone cure for serious liver disease.

Dosage & Administration

• Per the manufacturer's label, the typical adult dosage is 1-3 capsules, 2-3 times daily, or as directed by a physician.
• For children, dosage should be determined by a physician rather than self-administered.
• Because this 500mg capsule strength differs from the Hepanor 140mg and 70mg tablet strengths also in this catalog, do not interchange dosing between the different Hepanor products without a physician's or pharmacist's guidance.

Precautions & Side Effects

• Per the manufacturer's label, Hepanor is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to Silymarin or Milk Thistle.
• Caution is advised during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as safety data in these populations is limited.
• The manufacturer's label notes that Silymarin may show reduced lipid-peroxidation-related effects when combined with certain medications such as butyrophenones or phenothiazines (classes of antipsychotic medication) - disclose all medications you are taking to your physician before starting Hepanor.
• Discontinue use and consult a physician if any adverse reaction occurs.

Storage & Safety

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the pack.
• Keep the strip/container sealed until use.
