Sorbitol + Tricholine Citrate is a combination medicine used for liver disorders and constipation.
Tricholine Citrate is a bile acid binding agent. It binds to bile acids in the intestines and removes them from the body. This prompts the liver to produce more bile acids from cholesterol, effectively lowering cholesterol levels. Additionally, it helps in breaking down fat deposits in the liver, converting them into beneficial cholesterol and improving overall liver function.
Sorbitol is an osmotic laxative. It works by drawing water into the large intestine, which softens stools and promotes bowel movements, thereby helping to manage constipation. It also serves as a syrup base for the liquid formulation of this medicine.
