Treatment of Noncirrhotic Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis

Treatment of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a condition in which there is an increased buildup of fat in the liver. It affects people who drink little to no alcohol. Bilypsa Tablet protects the liver and reduces the risk of liver failure.

Treatment of Diabetic dyslipidemia (high cholesterol in diabetes)
Bilypsa Tablet helps in the management of high cholesterol, as well as blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It is mainly used in people whose cholesterol levels are not controlled by statin therapy alone. By controlling high cholesterol levels, Bilypsa Tablet helps reduce the risk of heart diseases.

How Bilypsa Tablet works

Bilypsa Tablet contains Saroglitazar, a dual action peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) inhibitor that aids in the management of high cholesterol, especially triglycerides, as well as blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It acts by a unique mechanism in which it reduces the synthesis and secretion of triglycerides (a type of lipid or cholesterol in blood). It also improves insulin sensitivity of the body for better utilization of the existing insulin and hence lowers the blood sugar levels.
