Improvement of liver functions in HCV patients

ABSTRACT

This study was carried out to investigate and evaluate the role of colchicine/silymarin and antox tablets [antioxidants] on improving the desirable effect of colchicine on liver functions of HCV patients. The reported data indicated biochemically and hematologically, that colchicine/silymarin administration for 12 months displayed better improvement than that of colchicine alone. Moreover, a mix of colchicine/silymarin and antox exerted potent effect on liver functions of HCV volunteers. On the other h and, the prementioned medications did not induce any significant alterations in several parameters that may be of value, in heart and kidney functions, lipids, minerals and pancreas as well as glucose. These findings revealed that, the treatment by the test drugs together may improve the liver response to antiviral drug in HCV patients
