Benefits of Linvas Tablet
In Treatment of Noncirrhotic Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis
Noncirrhotic non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is liver inflammation and damage caused by excess fat in the liver. Because of the damage, the liver doesn't work as well as it should. Linvas Tablet reduces fat deposition thereby improving its overall functioning.
In Treatment of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a condition in which there is an increased buildup of fat in the liver. It affects people who drink little to no alcohol. Linvas Tablet protects the liver and reduces the risk of liver failure.
In Treatment of Diabetic dyslipidemia (high cholesterol in diabetes)
Linvas Tablet helps in the management of high cholesterol, as well as blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It is mainly used in people whose cholesterol levels are not controlled by statin therapy alone. By controlling high cholesterol levels, Linvas Tablet helps reduce the risk of heart diseases.

How to use Linvas Tablet
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Linvas Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How Linvas Tablet works
Linvas Tablet contains Saroglitazar, a dual action peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) inhibitor that aids in the management of high cholesterol, especially triglycerides, as well as blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It acts by a unique mechanism in which it reduces the synthesis and secretion of triglycerides (a type of lipid or cholesterol in blood). It also improves insulin sensitivity of the body for better utilization of the existing insulin and hence lowers the blood sugar levels.
