Description
L-Ornithine-L-Aspartate 150mg and Pancreatin 100mg Tablet– It is a combination medicine prescribed for liver disorders and digestive insufficiency. It contains L-ornithine L-aspartate (LOLA), a pair of amino acids that support liver detoxification, and pancreatin, a blend of digestive enzymes that help the body break down food when the pancreas is not functioning optimally. The combination is particularly useful when liver disease and poor digestion occur together, as they often do. Moreover, L-ornithine is shown to improve stress levels and sleep quality.
Servocare Lifesciences manufactures and supplies these tablets for fatty liver and indigestion under the brand name Ornilive. The company is a WHO-GMP and ISO-certified pharmaceutical manufacturer and supplier in a broad range of affordable medicines.
How does this combination work?
L-Ornithine L-Aspartate (LOLA)- Encourages the urea cycle within the liver, which processes the poisonous ammonia in the blood and changes it to urea, which is harmless and can be passed from the body through urine. The urea cycle becomes inefficient in cases of liver damage, and therefore the ammonia starts to rise in the bloodstream, able to pass into the brain. LOLA helps to promote the detoxifying pathway within the liver, lowers blood ammonia, and helps in the regeneration of injured cells within the liver through energy creation.
Pancreatin- A highly concentrated solution of pancreatic enzymes, lipase (fat), amylase (carbohydrate), and protease (protein). It may be the case that the pancreas does not produce enough of these enzymes, perhaps following inflammation or reduction of size, after an operation. Pancreatin can supplement these enzymes so that nutrients can be digested and absorbed properly and gas, bloat, and discomfort after eating are alleviated. It should be taken with food.
L-Ornithine L-Aspartate with Pancreatin: Uses and Benefits
The medical benefits of using these tablets have been mentioned as follows:
- Hepatic encephalopathy- a serious condition where a damaged liver fails to filter ammonia from the blood, affecting brain function
- Fatty liver disease (hepatic steatosis)- accumulation of fat in liver cells
- Acute and chronic liver disorders, including cirrhosis-related complications
- Indigestion and malabsorption caused by low pancreatic enzyme output
- Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)- where the pancreas cannot produce adequate digestive enzymes
- Post-surgery recovery in patients who have undergone partial pancreatectomy or gastrectomy
Directions for Use of Digestive enzyme and Liver Support Tablets
Carefully read the label given along with the L-ornithine L-aspartate + pancreatin tablets.
- Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
- The usual adult dose is one tablet two to three times daily, preferably with or immediately after meals.
- Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
- Do not crush, break, or chew it, as this can destroy the enzyme coating and reduce effectiveness.
Side Effects of LOLA with Pancreatin Tablets
Mostly, these tablets are safe to use and do not cause any major side effects. However, some people may observe a few side effects that get resolved over time. The side effects may vary in all users, as they depend on the physiological condition and response to the treatment. The range of side effects noticed are mentioned below:
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Abdominal pain
- Vomiting
Safety Precautions While Using Pancreatin and L-Ornithine L-Aspartate for Fatty Liver
A list of the safety measures has been mentioned as follows:
-
- Inform your doctor of any history of kidney disease, pancreatectomy, or gastrectomy before starting this medicine
- Avoid alcohol completely; it directly worsens liver damage and counteracts the detoxifying effect of LOLA
- Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without explicit medical advice
- Keep out of reach of children and pets
- Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Do not use expired tablets; dispose of them properly.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1- Are there situations when L-ornithine L-aspartate tablets should not be taken?
A- They should generally not be used if you have kidney disease, especially if the condition is serious. The reason for this is that they have to be processed to form urea in the liver, which then gets released by the kidneys. With disease kidney function will lead to excess buildup of urea.
Q2- When should I expect L-ornithine L-aspartate tablets to lower my ammonia levels?
A- Most people will start to notice an improvement in symptoms, such as confusion, fatigue and ‘brain fog’ after about one to two weeks of consistent use, though this is likely to vary depending on the level of liver damage and initial ammonia level.
Q3-Is it safe for patients that have cirrhosis?
A- Yes, LOLA is a routinely used medication in the context of cirrhosis to control hyperammonemia and prevent and treat hepatic encephalopathy.
Q4- Can I consume alcohol when taking this medication?
A- This is a prescription intended to assist a compromised liver. Alcohol is inherently hepatotoxic and therefore would not only damage your condition further but also antagonize the action of L-ornithine L-aspartate.
Q5- Why is pancreatin combined with a liver medicine?
A- By including pancreatin, this combination addresses both the liver’s detox dysfunction and the gut’s enzyme deficiency, which often need to be treated together for meaningful improvement in a patient’s health and appetite.
Q6- Are these tablets safe for children?
A- This combination is not routinely recommended for children without specific medical guidance. Hepatic encephalopathy in pediatric patients is managed differently, and the adult dosage of both LOLA and Pancreatin in this formulation is not appropriate for children.
Q7- Who should not take pancreatin?
A- Pancreatin should not be taken by individuals with a known allergy to pork (porcine) proteins, pig products, or any components in the medication.
