Medicine Description legalon-70 70mg
Legalon-70 70mg Tablets is a medication that contains silymarin, a complex of flavonolignans derived from the seeds of the milk thistle plant. Silymarin exerts its protective effects on the liver primarily through its ability to stabilize hepatocyte membranes, thus preventing the entry of toxins. Additionally, it has antioxidant properties, which help to neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress in liver cells. Silymarin also promotes protein synthesis, facilitating liver regeneration, and enhances the production of glutathione, a critical antioxidant that supports detoxification processes in the liver. These combined actions make silymarin beneficial in liver conditions by improving liver function and providing supportive therapy.
