Any Suggestion For Suffering From Hepatic Encephalopathy?

Hi doctor,
My mother 74 years old has hepatic encephalopathy.I saw on internet there is only on medicine for that, the name is Hepa-merz,but the doctor told me that we can't do anything...The thing is I live in France and in France that medicine doesn't exist...
Anyway,do you really know if that medicine is very efficient ?Because may be I can have one more chance to see my mother feels better .
kindest regards.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM.
Hepa Metz is original German drug that is detoxint ...so improve liver health....

But here your mother have encephalopathy.
And it might be severe grade so that doctor telling its serious....

Mostly here she could have cirrhosis induce encephalopathy.
The drug can be used is lactulose or rifaximine that can decrease ammonia production...

Stop using diuretic if using as it can aggravate condition.
Take protein free diet.
Final ultimate treatment is liver transplantation if feasible.

Take care.
