How Hepalup Dn Tablet works

This medicine combines 12 active ingredients: Acetylcysteine, Vitamin c, Zinc, Folic Acid, Vitamin b, Vitamin e, Vitamin d, Silymarin, L-carnitine L-tartrate, L-glutathione, L-ornithine and Lecithin. Acetylcysteine loosens and thins the mucus in your airways so a cough clears it more easily, and eases the tightness that comes with congestion. Vitamin c supplies a nutrient that helps protect body cells from everyday oxidative wear and supports normal immune function. Zinc supplies a nutrient that helps protect body cells from everyday oxidative wear and supports normal immune function. Folic Acid replaces a B vitamin your body needs to make red blood cells, to keep nerves healthy and to release energy from food. Vitamin b replaces a B vitamin your body needs to make red blood cells, to keep nerves healthy and to release energy from food. Vitamin e supplies a nutrient that helps protect body cells from everyday oxidative wear and supports normal immune function. Vitamin d helps your gut absorb calcium and keeps the mineral level in your blood and bones where it should be. Silymarin supports the liver cells and helps the flow of bile. L-carnitine L-tartrate supplies protein and amino acids, the building blocks your body uses to repair and maintain muscle and tissue. L-glutathione supplies a nutrient that helps protect body cells from everyday oxidative wear and supports normal immune function. L-ornithine supplies protein and amino acids, the building blocks your body uses to repair and maintain muscle and tissue. Lecithin supplies omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower blood triglyceride levels.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe drowsiness, a racing heart and, with codeine, dangerously slow breathing. It can cause vomiting, stomach pain and, with some minerals, damage over the longer term. It is unlikely to cause serious harm, because the body passes surplus B vitamins out in the urine. It can raise blood calcium dangerously, causing thirst, frequent urination, vomiting, confusion and kidney damage. It may cause loose motions and stomach upset. It may cause stomach upset and, with prolonged excess, puts avoidable load on the kidneys. It may cause loose motions and a small increase in bleeding tendency. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Safety advice for Hepalup Dn Tablet

Warnings and precautions

See a doctor if a cough lasts more than a week, or comes with fever, breathlessness, chest pain or blood in the sputum. Do not give cough and cold preparations to young children except on a doctor's advice. Do not combine two cough preparations — they frequently contain the same ingredients, and the doses add up. Preparations containing codeine can cause dependence and must be used only for the period your doctor specifies. A supplement supports a normal diet; it does not prevent or treat infection. Zinc on an empty stomach commonly causes nausea — take it with food. Very high doses of vitamin A over a long period can be harmful, particularly in pregnancy. Do not take several products containing the same nutrient at once; the totals add up. Tingling, numbness or burning in the hands and feet should be assessed by a doctor rather than self-treated — a supplement does not address the cause. Folic acid can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency while nerve damage continues, so B12 should be checked before taking folic acid long term. Bright yellow urine after a B-complex dose is expected and harmless. Do not take more than your doctor has advised. Vitamin D builds up in the body and too much raises blood calcium, causing thirst, frequent urination, nausea and confusion. High-dose weekly or monthly sachets are prescription strengths — do not repeat one because you missed a week. Tell your doctor if you have had kidney stones or have kidney disease. A liver supplement does not treat the cause of liver disease. Alcohol, weight, viral hepatitis and medicines are what have to be addressed. Stop alcohol completely if you have any liver condition. Report yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, swelling of the abdomen or confusion without delay. Keep your liver function tests and follow-up appointments. Tell your doctor before taking a protein supplement if you have kidney disease — the protein load matters. Drink plenty of water while taking a protein supplement. Check the label for milk or soy if you have an allergy or are lactose intolerant. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner — high doses of omega-3 can add to its effect. Check the source if you have a fish or shellfish allergy.

Do not take Hepalup Dn if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Codeine-containing preparations are not for children, or for anyone with breathing difficulty. Not for people with a high blood calcium level, or with certain kidney stones. Not for people with inherited disorders of amino-acid metabolism, or with a known allergy to the protein source. Not for anyone with a known allergy to fish, shellfish or any ingredient in the pack.

Interactions with other medicines

Sedating ingredients add to the effect of alcohol and sleeping tablets. Decongestants such as phenylephrine and pseudoephedrine can raise blood pressure — tell your doctor if you are hypertensive. Zinc and other minerals reduce the absorption of some antibiotics — separate them by a few hours. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner, as high-dose vitamin E can add to its effect. Long-term metformin, acid-reducing medicines and some anti-epileptics lower B12 or folate levels. Tell your doctor if you take levodopa, as vitamin B6 can reduce its effect. Calcium reduces the absorption of thyroid tablets, several antibiotics and iron — separate them by a few hours. Water tablets of the thiazide group raise calcium further when combined. Tell your doctor about every medicine and supplement you take — the liver processes most of them. No significant medicine interactions are expected for most protein supplements. May add to the effect of blood thinners and antiplatelet medicines.

How to store Hepalup Dn Tablet

Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.

Expert advice for Hepalup Dn Tablet

Drink plenty of water — it thins mucus better than any syrup. Steam inhalation helps congestion and costs nothing. Measure the dose with the cup supplied. Take it with food to reduce nausea. A varied diet remains the best source of these nutrients. A supplement corrects a deficiency; it is not a general energy tonic. If you are on it for nerve symptoms, keep your review appointment so the underlying cause is looked for. Take calcium with food, and split the day's total if you take a large amount. Sunlight helps your body make its own vitamin D. Have your level rechecked as your doctor advises rather than continuing high doses indefinitely. Avoid alcohol entirely, and avoid unnecessary medicines and unregulated herbal preparations. Weight loss and exercise are the proven treatment for fatty liver. Mix it as directed on the pack; a thicker mix is not a stronger one. Use it alongside meals, not instead of them, unless your dietitian has said otherwise. Taking it with a meal, or keeping the capsules in the fridge, reduces fishy burps. Continue your diet and exercise alongside it.
