The best medicine to repair liver cells

The liver is one of the most important organs in the human body. If there is any discomfort in the liver, treatment must be sought immediately and the condition must not be aggravated. You can take some medicines according to the doctor's advice, but the use of medicines must not be excessive. When choosing medicine, you must choose the one that suits you. Some medicines may not be suitable for everyone. You must pay special attention before taking the medicine and read the instructions carefully, especially the contraindications. This is very important.

Eight types of liver protection drugs

Each has its own focus on liver protection

Hepatoprotective drugs refer to drugs that can improve the metabolism of damaged liver cells, promote liver cell regeneration, and enhance the liver's detoxification function, thereby improving liver pathology and function. These are generally referred to as drugs that have a certain protective effect on liver cell damage.

The most commonly used liver protection drugs are as follows:

Anti-inflammatory and liver-protecting drugs: One of the most commonly used liver-protecting drugs at present, it can reduce inflammation of the liver and lower transaminase in serum, with reliable efficacy. The main varieties include compound monoammonium glycyrrhizinate (Qianglining), diammonium glycyrrhizinate (Ganlixin, Ganping), compound glycyrrhizic acid glycoside (Meineng), magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (Ganmei), etc., which are mainly used for the treatment of liver damage such as viral hepatitis, drug-induced liver injury, alcoholic liver disease and cirrhosis.

Detoxification and liver protection drugs: mainly include glucuronosyl (Gentile), glutathione (Sontaxel, Guladin, Atomolan, Lutinol), tiopronin (Kaisile), etc. This type of drug can not only assist and enhance the liver's detoxification function and reduce the burden on the liver, but also protect the proteins and enzymes in liver cells from damage. It has certain therapeutic effects on viral liver disease, drug-induced liver disease, toxic liver damage, fatty liver, cirrhosis, etc.

Vitamin and coenzyme drugs: mainly include various water-soluble vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin B, etc.), fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin E) and coenzyme A, etc. These drugs can promote energy metabolism and maintain the normal activity of various enzymes required for liver metabolism, thereby helping to maintain and repair the functions of various damaged liver cells.

Liver cell membrane protectants: mainly polyene phosphatidylcholine (Essenfu). The drug can enhance the stability of liver cell membranes and protect them from external damage.

Choleretic and hepatoprotective drugs: mainly include adenosine methionine (Simetai) and ursodeoxycholic acid (Ursofur), etc. Although these drugs have different mechanisms of action, they all help prevent bile stasis in the liver and have choleretic and liver-protecting effects. Mainly used for cholestatic liver injury.

Biological drugs: mainly hepatocyte growth factor. It can promote liver cell regeneration and is mostly used for severe hepatitis.

Enzyme-lowering and liver-protecting drugs: mainly include bifenthrin (Bisano) and bicyclol tablets, etc. This type of drug has a significant inducing effect on the activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver and can enhance the detoxification ability of carbon tetrachloride and certain carcinogens. However, its clinical efficacy is still controversial.
