Patients with fatty liver often have abnormal fat metabolism, and may have diabetes or abnormal glucose tolerance, etc. Taking lipid regulators such as simvastatin, glucose-lowering drugs such as metformin, antioxidants such as reduced glutathione, and liver-protecting drugs such as silymarin are more effective, but there is no medication that can quickly reverse fatty liver. Medication also needs to pay attention to lifestyle, eat less greasy food and exercise more.
Fatty liver is mainly characterized by excessive fat storage in liver cells and fatty degeneration, and can be divided into non-alcoholic and alcoholic fatty liver, which is usually related to alcohol consumption, obesity, diabetes, malnutrition and so on.
1. Lipotropic drugs: such as pravastatin and simvastatin, which reduce liver fat by decreasing the amount of lipids in the blood, as well as increasing the consumption of lipids.
2. Glucose-lowering drugs: such as metformin, which is more effective in treating obese patients with fatty liver disease because it reduces body weight.
3. Antioxidants: such as reduced glutathione, which can help detoxify the liver and inhibit the formation of fatty liver to a certain extent.
4. Hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory drugs: such as silymarin, which can improve the decline of liver function caused by fatty liver.
The above drugs are prohibited for those who are allergic to them and should be taken according to the doctor’s instructions. If the patient is diagnosed with fatty liver, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital in time, after clarifying the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor to carry out targeted treatment, in order to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
