Hepatosan is a drug with a detoxifying and hepatoprotective effect.

The composition of 1 capsule contains the active substance: freeze-dried liver cells of a donor pig - 200 mg.
The composition of the gelatin capsule: titanium dioxide - 1.333%, quinoline yellow dye - 0.9197%, sunset yellow dye - 0.0044%, gelatin - up to 100%.
Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The action of Hepatosan is based on the properties of xenogenic hepatocytes and their biological components, which are compatible with macromolecules of the human body.
The hepatoprotector contains microelements, cytochromes, amino acids, vitamins, mesenchymal enzymes, and essential phospholipids.
The drug works in two stages:
- intestinal phase: Hepatosan has a detoxifying effect due to the sorption of toxic products in the intestine;
- metabolic (hepatoprotective) phase: biologically active components contribute to the restoration of the functional activity of the liver.
The main properties of the drug:
- detoxification: manifests itself due to the sorption and removal of toxins and toxic products from the intestine, as well as the sorption of high molecular weight volatile fatty acids (isovaleric, valeric, nylon, isocaproic) and their isomers;
- adsorption: due to a delay in the absorption of metabolites of the microflora of the large intestine;
- protein biosynthesis: associated with the 18 amino acids that are part of Hepatosan, due to which their deficiency is replenished and the necessary proteins are synthesized, which improves the metabolic ability of liver cells, sorption and elimination of toxins;
- prevention of destruction of cell membranes: manifests itself as the protection of biological membranes from toxins, which is associated, on the one hand, with inhibition of the capture of toxins by hepatocytes, on the other hand, with the stabilization of cell membranes (inclusion of phospholipids in them). An increase in the detoxifying function of hepatocytes is based on an increase in the concentration of glutathione, as well as on an increase in the activity of redox enzymes.
