Alcoliv 500 mg is an antioxidant agent effective at treating alcoholic fatty acids. It contains the active ingredient Metodoxine, which protects the liver from harmful chemical substances and increases alcohol elimination from the tissues and blood. The symptoms develop due to liver damage caused by alcohol abuse and misuse. When the disease progresses, it may not cause any symptoms until the individual's liver has undergone widespread damage. Metodoxine fastens the clearance of alcohol from the bloodstream and therefore helps treat fatty liver due to alcoholism.    

Alcoliv 500 mg is available in the form of a tablet, and this makes it easier to be consumed orally with a sufficient amount of water. Completely swallow this medicine with a glass full of water. Do not chew it. The recommended dose for adults is 500 mg once daily with sufficient water. This medicine can be given along with the meal per the doctor's recommendation. The dose should be changed per the patient's response towards the tablet, but only under the supervision of your doctor. Consult your doctor after a regular time interval of 3 to 4 weeks.

Alcoliv tablets should not be used if you are allergic to Metadoxine or its inactive ingredients.
