Hepaneed Syrup contains silymarin which is a polyphenolic flavonoid obtained from plant milk thistle (Silybum marianum). It is presumed that Hepaneed Syrup works through multiple mechanisms. It prevents the formation of reactive oxygen species (free radicals) that damages the liver which affects its normal functioning. It also reduces the inflammation and stimulates the liver cells to produce proteins.

Yes, Hepaneed Syrup lowers the SGPT (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase or alanine transaminase) levels in the blood. This occurs due to the hepatoprotective (liver protective) action of this drug which helps in preventing the liver damage that lowers the SGPT levels in our blood.
