Medicine Description legalon-140 140mg
Legalon 140 is a medication that primarily acts through silymarin, a complex of flavonolignans derived from the milk thistle plant. Silymarin exerts its protective effects on the liver by enhancing protein synthesis and promoting the regeneration of liver cells. It also has antioxidant properties, which help in neutralizing free radicals that can cause cellular damage. Furthermore, silymarin influences liver metabolism by inhibiting the binding of toxins to liver cell membranes, thereby reducing their harmful effects. This multifaceted approach aids in restoring liver function and protecting against various forms of liver injury.
