Levocarnitine 500mg

Product Introduction

Levocarnitine Injection is used to treat or prevent low carnitine levels. Carnitine helps the body use fat for energy, especially in muscles and heart tissue. Injection form is commonly used when oral replacement is not suitable or when clinical replacement is needed.

How to use

Levocarnitine Injection is given by IV route by trained healthcare staff. Dose and schedule depend on carnitine level, body weight, kidney status and dialysis requirement. Avoid taking duplicate supplements with the same ingredient unless the total daily intake has been checked.

How it works

Levocarnitine replaces low carnitine in the body and supports energy production from fatty acids. Restoring low levels supports normal body function and may improve deficiency-related symptoms.

Common side effects

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, diarrhoea, body odour, headache and injection-site discomfort. Seizure worsening can occur rarely in susceptible patients.

Important information

Extra caution is needed with seizure disorders, kidney disease and dialysis patients where monitoring may be needed. Very high supplement doses can be harmful, especially with kidney disease or mineral imbalance.
