COMPOSITION:
Each 1 ml contains:
Menbutone 50 mg
Sorbitol. 250 mg.
PROPERTIES:
Menbutone or genabilic acid, is a derivative of oxobutyric acid which acts as choleretic excitosecretory, trypsinogen and pepsinogen and as cholagogue. Injected into body, it allows increasing from two to five times the bile, pancreatic and peptic secretion compared to their normal values. It therefore facilitates transit and assimilation of food and acts as liver detoxifier. Sorbitol is hyperglycemic and cholagogue. It must be metabolized to be used by the body for the purpose of energy production; the energy intake is therefore deferred. It is metabolized to fructose, mainly in liver. It may be directly metabolized to glucose by the aldose reductase.
