Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics: This product contains a silybin-phosphatidylcholine complex which helps protect the liver by conserving glutathione in the cells (silybin) while helping in the repair and replacement of cell membranes (phosphatidylcholine). Phosphatidylcholine improves the absorption of silybin.
The product also contains vitamin E and zinc, antioxidant nutrients that help protect the liver from damaging toxins and free radicals; and B-vitamins, that assist the liver in the breakdown of proteins, fats and carbohydrates into energy that the body can use.
This product is used to help maintain liver health.
Direction for Use in Adults: Orally, 1 capsule one to three times a day.
Or, as directed by a health professional.
Missed dose: If the patient missed a dose, just take the next dose as needed. Do not double the dose.
Silybin: No side effects have been reported with the recommended dose. Silybin has been shown to be well tolerated in volunteers who took oral doses of up to 360 mg three times a day for three weeks. However, episodes of severe sweating, abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and weakness may occur in hypersensitive individuals.
Phosphatidylcholine: There is no reported acute or chronic toxicity from phosphatidylcholine. Daily intakes of up to 18 grams have been generally well tolerated.
Allergy to any ingredient in the product.
Ask a doctor before use if the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding.
Silybin: Silybin is generally well tolerated. However, adverse effects may occur rarely such as gastrointestinal distress, itching and headache.
Phosphatidylcholine: Nausea, diarrhea, excessive fullness, and increased salivation have occasionally been reported with the use of phosphatidylcholine.
Silybin may increase the effect of drugs metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system (e.g., erythromycin, nifedipine, tamoxifen, warfarin, clopidogrel, fexofenadine, etc.).
Silybin may reduce the effect of metronidazole when used concomitantly.
Milk thistle may reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.
Silybin may decrease insulin requirements of diabetic patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis. However, no studies suggest altered glucose metabolism in patients without liver disease. Dosage adjustment and monitoring of blood glucose levels may be required. Tell the doctor about all medicines the patient are taking including supplements and herbal medicines.
Store at temperatures between 25-30°C.
