What hepatoprotective drugs are there in clinic? How to choose hepatoprotective drugs? First of all, these four categories should be understood.

The liver is an important place for detoxification, biosynthesis and biotransformation, so when there is a problem with the liver, we should first consider protecting the liver. Because if the liver is not well protected, it will lead to liver function problems, and may even lead to long-term lesions or systemic adverse reactions.

1, polyene phosphatidylcholine

Fatty liver is a common liver disease in clinic. Usually, most people may suffer from fatty liver. If fatty liver develops for a long time, it may lead to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Therefore, in the early stage of fatty liver, it is necessary to use corresponding drugs to adjust, and polyene phosphatidylcholine is usually selected. Polyene phosphatidylcholine can promote cell repair, protect hepatocyte membrane for a long time and avoid hepatocyte lesions.

2.glutathione

Glutathione is a common class of anti-oxidation and liver-protecting drugs in clinic. Reduced glutathione can be used continuously in clinic to reduce the degree of liver damage caused by diseases, and its side effects are relatively small, so it is suitable for the treatment of fatty liver or alcoholic hepatitis. If there is a serious poisoning reaction, glutathione can also be selected to enhance the therapeutic effect. In addition, glutathione can also be used for drug-induced liver disease, which has a good curative effect.

3. Ursodeoxycholic acid

Ursodeoxycholic acid is a special drug for treating liver diseases in clinic, because the onset of liver diseases may affect bile ducts and cause bile secretion problems, especially when cholestasis is caused by more serious diseases, it may induce systemic problems such as jaundice and digestive tract diseases. In view of this situation, ursodeoxycholic acid is usually used for treatment, and ursodeoxycholic acid is a drug with strong cholagogic effect, which can avoid cholestasis.

4, adenosylmethionine

Adenosine methionine is also a common drug for protecting liver, but it is different from other drugs. Generally, there is no obvious solution to the problem of abnormal liver function or continuous decline of liver function, but it has a good therapeutic effect on jaundice caused by inflammation or serious diseases. Generally speaking, when the symptoms of stubborn jaundice are found, adenosylmethionine will be chosen for treatment.

Hepatoprotective drugs are commonly used in clinic at present, which can usually protect the liver, but they should not be abused, otherwise it will bring huge side effects. Even if hepatoprotective drugs are used in combination, it is generally not recommended to use more than three drugs, otherwise it will easily increase the burden on the liver. If there are corresponding side effects, it is necessary to adjust the treatment plan in time.
