Hamdard Icterene Tablets

Liver plays an important role in many body functions. Its main functions are to metabolize most of the nutrients which are absorbed by the intestine, store nutrients, produce proteins, detoxify blood by removing toxicants and potentially harmful chemicals from the bloodstream and treating them chemically so these can be excreted by G.I. Tract or urinary system. A variety of illnesses may affect the liver and sufferer may have the symptoms of weight loss, nausea, vomiting and yellow discoloration of the skin (Janudice). These symptoms require immediate medical attention.

Jaundice, also known as icterus is the yellowing of the skin and eyes. The whites of the eyes become yellow, urine darkens and the colour of stool becomes lighter than normal. Jaundice occurs when the liver and or the gall bladder is not working properly or when a bile duct is blocked. It is caused by too much bilirubin (build-up of bile waste products) in the blood.
