Liver care starts with ensuring that the liver has the materials it needs to repair itself. Essentiale®contains Essential Phospholipids or EPLs that your liver needs to repair liver cells and support liver function.

Phospholipids are the building blocks of liver cells membranes. They are a class of lipids (fats) that serve an extremely important function in our body.

The cell membrane is made up of two layers of phospholipids. It protects the living matter inside the cell from the outside and controls what goes in and out of the cell.

A liver cell that has lost some of the phospholipids that make up its cell membrane is said to be damaged. Damaged cells may lose some of their vital functions.

A damaged liver cell can be repaired if it can quickly replace the phospholipids its cell membrane has lost.

2 caps 3 times daily (phospholipids 600 mg).
Not more than 6 caps a day should be taken (phospholipids 1800 mg).
Maintenance Dose: After some time, the dose may be reduced to 1 cap (phospholipids 300 mg) 3 times daily.

Due to the content in soya bean oil, Essentiale Forte N may provoke severe allergic reactions.
Essentiale Forte N therapy is not a substitute for the avoidance of the noxious agent causing liver damage (eg, alcohol).
In chronic hepatitis, the adjuvant therapy with soya bean phospholipids is justified only when improved subjective well-being manifests during therapy.
The physician should be consulted when complaints aggravate or when other unclear complaints occur.
Effects on the Ability to Drive or Operate Machinery: Essentiale Forte N has no effect on the ability to drive and use machines.
Use in pregnancy & lactation: Preparations from soya beans are largely used in human food, and so far, no events have been reported that would suggest any risk during pregnancy. Specific results from investigation are not available, therefore, the use of Essentiale Forte N is not recommended during pregnancy and lactation.
Use in children: As specific studies with Essentiale Forte N have not been conducted, it should not be given to children <12 years.

For the evaluation of any adverse effects, the following incidences are considered: Very frequent (>1/10), frequent (>1/100 to <1/10), occasional (>1/1000 to <1/100), rare (>1/10,000 to <1/1000), very rare (<1/10,000).
Occasionally, the administration of Essentiale Forte N may provoke gastrointestinal disorders eg, stomach complaints, soft stool and diarrhoea.
On very rare occasions, allergic reactions may occur eg, exanthema and urticaria. The doctor or pharmacist should be informed about any undesirable effect not previously mentioned.
Administration of Essentiale Forte N should be discontinued in the event of 1 of the previously mentioned side effects, especially if hypersensitivity reactions occur. The patient should consult the doctor to decide about the severity and any measures that might be necessary.
