Product introduction

Alsame Tablet is a medicine used for the treatment of liver disease associated with reduced bile formation (intrahepatic cholestasis). It protects the liver cells from toxins and helps the liver to perform its normal functions.

Alsame Tablet may be taken with or without food. The dose will depend on the severity of your condition and your body weight. It is best swallowed whole, but you may need to break them to get the correct dose. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to get the most benefit and you may have to take it for several months or longer, so try to get into a routine. Keep using it as prescribed even if your symptoms disappear.

Use of this medicine may cause some common side effects such as headache, dizziness, vomiting, upset stomach, diarrhea, constipation, and insomnia. Not everyone gets side effects. If you are worried about them, or they do not go away, let your doctor know. If you have problems with diarrhea your doctor may reduce the dose or stop the treatment. Drink enough water or fluids to stay hydrated in case of severe diarrhea and constipation.

Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Using this medicine can reduce or increase the effect of some other medicines so tell your doctor, all other medicines you are taking. Avoid drinking alcohol as it might increase side effects.

How Alsame Tablet works

Alsame Tablet contains S-Adenosyl L-Methoinine Disulfate Tosylate, also known as SAMe, a nutritional supplement, that can restore Glutathione concentrations in the liver and also improves liver damage. SAMe is also involved in many biochemical reactions in the human body that regulate the growth, death and differentiation of hepatocytes (liver cells). Because liver function is compromised in people suffering from liver disease, supplementation with Alsame Tablet is beneficial.
