How Heptral 400MG Tablet works:
Heptral 400MG Tablet contains a naturally occurring substance found in cells, tissues, and body fluids. It is used to treat depression, osteoarthritis, and liver conditions. In liver disease, this drug regulates liver glutathione levels to prevent liver damage and the accumulation of cirrhosis-related lipids outside the liver. In depression, it influences serotonin levels in the brain, which plays a role in communication between brain cells and mood regulation. In osteoarthritis, it stimulates cartilage production and reduces inflammatory mediators.
