INTRODUCTION

CIRROSAM contains S-Adenosyl L-Methionine (Ademetionine) which belongs to the class of medicines called nutraceutical agents. It is indicated for the treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis in adult patients with liver disease. Intrahepatic cholestasis is a cholestatic disorder characterized by reduced flow of bile from the liver.

Symptoms includes severe itching, yellowing of skin or eyes, nausea, loss of appetite, dark urine and light-colored feces.

CIRROSAM can also be used to treat intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (itching and elevated levels of serum aminotransferases and bile acid during 2nd or 3rd trimester). S-Adenosyl L-Methionine is natural substance present in the body. It is a derivative of amino acid called methionine and is responsible for various liver functions, hepatocyte growth and differentiation. Supplementation of s-adenosyl l-methionine in liver disease patients reduces oxidative stress, inflammation and offers protection against apoptotic cell death and subsequent fibrosis.

This medicine must be taken on an empty stomach for better absorption. Do not stop taking this medicine abruptly without consulting your doctor, as it may lead to lack of efficacy. During the treatment, you doctor would monitor the levels of ammonia in your blood, especially in patients with pre-cirrhotic and cirrhotic states of hyperammonemia to avoid unwanted side effects.

The most common side effects of this medicine are nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea and anxiety. Contact your doctor if any of these symptom bothers you.

S-Adenosyl L-Methionine is natural substance present in the body and is a derivative of amino acid called methionine. Oral supplementation of -adenosyl l-methionine in liver disease patients acts as a hepato-protectant and reduces apoptotic cell death and its subsequent fibrosis.

It is also capable of reducing the production of various inflammatory cytokines responsible for liver damage leading to a potential therapeutic benefit in patients with liver disease.
