Lolafem Infusion

Description

Lolafem Infusion is a prescription intravenous treatment containing L-ornithine L-aspartate (LOLA) used to lower high blood ammonia levels and manage liver-related brain complications.
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a brain disorder which occurs in patients with liver failure. In liver failure, there is increased bacterial growth in the intestine which leads to an accumulation of ammonia in blood. This deteriorating condition of the liver starts affecting the functioning of the brain, causing Hepatic encephalopathy. Lolafem Infusion works by detoxifying the ammonia from the blood, hence decreasing the free ammonia from the body. This, as a result, helps decrease the abnormal functioning of the brain caused due to liver failure.

Lolafem Infusion reduces blood ammonia to relieve confusion, memory loss, and other nervous-system issues caused by liver failure.

Liver Cirrhosis Support: Lolafem Infusion helps the body process toxins and manage complications linked to chronic liver damage.
