Biocor Milk thistle tablets, 60 pcs.

Milk thistle interacts with free radicals in the liver and reduces their toxicity.

By interrupting the process of lipid peroxidation, it prevents further destruction of cell structures.

In damaged hepatocytes it stimulates synthesis of structural and functional proteins and phospholipids (due to specific stimulation of RNA-polymerase A), stabilizes cell membranes, prevents loss of cellular components and intracellular enzymes (transaminases), accelerates regeneration of liver cells. Inhibits penetration into cells of some hepatotoxic substances (poisons of the pale grebes mushroom).

It is subjected to enterohepatic circulation. It is metabolized in the liver by conjugation. It is excreted mainly with bile in the form of glucuronides and sulfates and to a small extent with urine.

It does not cumulate. Stable concentrations are reached after repeated oral administration of 140 mg 3 times daily.

It improves the general state of patients with liver diseases, decreases subjective complaints, normalizes laboratory indexes (activity of transaminases, gamma-glutamyltransferase, alkaline phosphate, bilirubin level).

Long-term use significantly increases survival rate of patients with cirrhosis.
