L-ornithine L-aspartate (LOLA) injection is a hepatoprotective and ammonia-lowering medication primarily used to treat hepatic encephalopathy (reduced brain function caused by severe liver disease) and to manage elevated blood ammonia levels (hyperammonemia).
Uses:
- Hepatic Encephalopathy: Helps improve mental status, cognitive function, and behavior in patients with advanced liver disease or cirrhosis.
- Hyperammonemia: Lowers toxic blood ammonia levels by stimulating the urea cycle and glutamine synthesis, safely converting ammonia into harmless substances for elimination.
- Supportive Therapy: Acts as an adjunctive treatment for acute and chronic liver conditions, including cirrhosis, fatty liver, and hepatitis, by protecting and rejuvenating liver cells.
