Product overview
Description
Composition
- Silymarin (dried extract of Milk Thistle fruits) - 70mg, equivalent to Milk Thistle extract 87.5mg, per capsule
Manufactured by Drug International Ltd. This is the 70mg-strength capsule of Hepanor; a 140mg-strength capsule of the same brand and manufacturer is also sold as a separate SKU, and both share the same active ingredient and general indications.
Uses & Indications
- Supportive care in toxic liver damage and jaundice
- Chronic inflammatory liver conditions, including hepatitis
- Alcoholic liver damage and hepatic cirrhosis
- Non-alcoholic and drug-induced liver disease, fatty liver, and liver changes associated with diabetes or narcotic toxicity, per broader retailer-listed indications for this generic
These indications are consistent across the manufacturer's official documentation and Bangladesh retailer listings for this strength, and match the indications already established for the 140mg Hepanor sibling product - Silymarin's hepatoprotective use is the same across all strengths of this brand.
Dosage & Administration
- Adults: 1-2 capsules, 2-3 times daily, or as directed by a physician, per the manufacturer's official product literature for this specific 70mg strength
- Continue for the duration advised by your physician, generally until symptom relief as guided by clinical judgment
Some retailer listings for this 70mg strength show dosing text carried over from the 140mg product's page ("1-3 capsules 2-3 times daily") rather than a strength-specific figure. The manufacturer's official product literature specifies 1-2 capsules 2-3 times daily for the 70mg capsule specifically, and that figure is used above. Confirm your exact dose with a physician or pharmacist.
Precautions & Side Effects
- Contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to Silymarin or Milk Thistle
- Generally well tolerated; an occasional mild laxative effect has been reported
- Children under 12 should only use this product under physician supervision
- Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding only under physician evaluation, as clinical safety data in these groups is limited
- Concomitant use with metronidazole may reduce metronidazole's effectiveness, per the manufacturer's product literature; this caution applies to Silymarin generally, including this 70mg strength.
Storage & Safety
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight
- Keep out of reach of children
- Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the pack
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between Hepanor 70mg and Hepanor 140mg?
A: Both are the same brand, manufacturer, and active ingredient (Silymarin), differing only in strength per capsule. The manufacturer's dosing guidance differs slightly by strength - the 70mg capsule is typically taken 1-2 capsules at a time, while the 140mg capsule is typically taken 1 capsule at a time, both 2-3 times daily.
Q: Why does the dosing information seem inconsistent between sources?
A: Some retailer listings for the 70mg strength show dosage text copied from the 140mg product's page rather than adjusted for this strength. The dosing above follows the manufacturer's own official, strength-specific figure instead; confirm your exact dose with a physician or pharmacist.
