How long does diammonium glycyrrhizinate usually take

How long Diammonium Glycyrrhizinate needs to be taken depends on the severity of the patient’s condition and the recovery of aminotransferases. Diammonium glycyrrhizinate is extracted and synthesized from the traditional Chinese medicine Glycyrrhiza glabra, which has a certain immune-suppressing effect, and is mainly used for the treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis accompanied by elevated alanine aminotransferase, such as viral hepatitis, steatohepatitis and alcoholic hepatitis. If the patient’s condition is relatively mild and only shows mild elevation of aminotransferase, the aminotransferase will gradually return to the normal level after about 1 week of medication. However, the drug should not be stopped abruptly at this time, and it is necessary to gradually reduce the dosage and continue to take the drug for about 3 days before completely stopping the drug. If the patient’s condition is more serious, a comprehensive assessment of the specific condition is needed to determine the time and duration of the medication. For the treatment of different types of hepatitis, the right cause is the key, and taking diammonium glycyrrhizinate can not solve the problem fundamentally, it is recommended that patients consult the Department of Hepatology in a timely manner, under the guidance of a professional doctor, for the different causes of hepatitis for effective treatment. In addition, diammonium glycyrrhizinate has the side effect of causing water-sodium retention, and must be used with caution for patients with hypertension and decongestion.
