OrbilinSolution belongs to the class of cholesterol-lowering agents primarily used to treat and prevent fatty liver disease and other liver-related disorders like hepatotoxicity. OrbilinSolution also helps improve occasional constipation, loss of appetite, and indigestion. Fatty liver disease, also known as hepatic steatosis, is a medical condition associated with a build-up of fat in liver cells. Hepatotoxicity is referred to as liver damage caused by exposure to drugs.
OrbilinSolution is composed of two medicines: Sorbitol (laxative) and Tricholine citrate (bile acid-binding agent). Sorbitol is a laxative with a diuretic (urine producing) and cathartic (that stimulates defecation) properties. It helps treat constipation. Tricholine citrate is a bile acid-binding agent that removes excess bile acids from the body. This makes the liver utilize the body's cholesterol in producing bile acid, thus lowering the cholesterol levels in the body.
