Rowachol

How does it work?

This medicine is a mixture of ingredients which improve the function of the liver and gall bladder. The liver produces bile which is stored in the gall bladder. Bile is required for efficient digestion. It contains a mixture of natural chemicals including cholesterol. If the cholesterol level in bile is too high, there is a risk that cholesterol stones (gallstones) will form. This medicine reduces cholesterol levels by inhibiting an enzyme (HMG Co-A reductase) which is involved in the production of cholesterol in the liver. Low levels of cholesterol in the bile help to dissolve gallstones and prevent further stones from forming. This medicine may also have a beneficial action on natural insulin production. This medicine is used in the management of liver and gall bladder complaints.
