Uses of Sorbiline Solution
Medicinal Benefits
Sorbiline Solution is used to treat and prevent fatty liver disease and other liver-related disorders like hepatotoxicity. It contains Sorbitol (laxative) and Tricholine (bile acid-binding agent). Sorbitol is a laxative with a diuretic (urine-producing) and cathartic (that stimulates defecation) properties. It is a sugar alcohol found in fruits and plants and treats constipation. Tricholine is a bile acid-binding agent that removes excess bile acids from the body. Due to this, the liver utilizes the body’s cholesterol to produce more bile acids, thus lowering the body’s cholesterol levels. It exhibits lipotropic action and helps in the breakdown of fat during metabolism in the body. It also helps to relieve asthma symptoms in adults. Tricholine may cause constipation as its side effect. Administering Sorbitol, along with Tricholine, helps in relieving constipation and other digestive problems.
