Hi & Welcome.

Incomplete data like age, gender, any history of alcohol intake or any associated symptoms.

Livolin Forte contains essential nutrients and vitamins (Phospholipids, Nicotinamide, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin E) and as such are prescribed to treat the deficiency states of these substances.

It is not the right medication for fatty liver.

However, Legalon (Silymarin) is a herbal formulation is recommended as a supportive treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver and other chronic inflammatory diseases of the liver and cirrhosis.

This medication is capable of protecting the liver from harmful effects of various toxic substances and restoring or revitalizing liver cells which have previously been damaged.

It also ameliorates the signs of liver disease and normalizes laboratory tests of liver function.

Thus, it is better than Lovolin Forte in reversing the fatty liver.

Legalon should be taken for at least 2-3 months and after that liver function tests and an abdominal ultrasound scan should be done to check its efficacy.
The liver functions should show a significant decrease in transaminases, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase levels.

Along with the medications, you must avoid smoking, alcohol, fatty meals.
Eat home cooked food, increase the intake of fruits and vegetables and take plenty of oral fluids.

Hope to have answered your query.
