FAQs
Is Carnin L 1gm Injection a steroid?
Carnin L 1gm Injection is not a steroid. It contains Levo-carnitine which is a type of protein (made from the amino acids lysine and methionine). It helps in transporting fats to the cells, where fats get metabolized in order to produce energy. It is used to treat primary and secondary Levo-carnitine deficiency.
When can a carnitine deficiency occur?
Carnitine deficiency may be of two types, primary and secondary. Primary is genetic and may show symptoms by five years of age. Whereas, secondary may occur due to certain disorders like kidney problems (chronic kidney failure) and use of antibiotics that reduces its absorption and increases its excretion.
Does warfarin have any effect on Carnin L 1gm Injection?
In some patients, warfarin when taken along with Carnin L 1gm Injection may increase the time required for the formation of blood clot. Hence, before starting Carnin L 1gm Injection, inform your doctor if you are taking warfarin.
