In Treatment of Hepatic encephalopathy Hepatic encephalopathy is a severe liver disease that can cause changes in brain function leading to confusion, tremors (shaking), sleep problems, and loss of consciousness.

If taken as prescribed, it can improve your brain function and reduce symptoms associated with hepatic encephalopathy.
