This deteriorating condition of the liver starts affecting the functioning of the brain, causing Hepatic encephalopathy. Heptazen-IV Infusion works by detoxifying the ammonia from the blood, hence decreasing the free ammonia from the body. This, as a result, helps decrease the abnormal functioning of the brain caused due to liver failure.
