Introduction
LORNIT 150MG TABLET contains L-ornithine-L-aspartate, which belongs to the group of medicines called Hepatoprotective agents. It is used in the management of various liver disorders such as acute or chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, fatty liver with hyperammonemia, or hepatic encephalopathy (a series of neuropsychiatric abnormalities in patients with liver dysfunction after exclusion of brain disease).

L-ornithine converts toxic ammonia into non-toxic urea, which is eliminated via the kidneys. By doing this, it lowers the elevated level of toxic load (ammonia) in blood and helps the diseased liver to carry out its normal function smoothly (detoxification). L-aspartate is an important component of the citric acid cycle, which liberates energy in the form of ATP, which helps in the regeneration of damaged liver cells.
