What is Medcarnit injection?
Medcarnit injection contains Levocarnitine as its active ingredient. It is given as an injection for people who cannot absorb enough Levocarnitine through oral forms. This medicine falls in the category of nutritional and metabolic support drugs.
What Medcarnit injection is used for?
Levocarnitine is a substance your body needs to turn fat into energy. When levels drop too low, the body cannot produce enough energy for the muscles and heart to work properly. Medcarnit injection uses include:
- Levocarnitine deficiency caused by kidney disease or dialysis
- Primary carnitine deficiency: A condition where the body cannot make or hold enough carnitine on its own
- Metabolic problems in newborns and children with certain inherited disorders
- Low carnitine levels caused by long-term use of certain medications
How does Levocarnitine injection works
Your body uses Levocarnitine to carry fatty acids into the mitochondria. That is the part of each cell that produces energy. Without enough of it, fat builds up and energy output drops.
The injection delivers Levocarnitine directly into the blood. Levels rise quickly this way. Muscles, including the heart muscle, get the fuel they need to function.
Side Effects
Side effects do not affect everyone. The ones reported most often are:
- Nausea or stomach upset
- Vomiting
- Loose stools or diarrhoea
