About

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease. It comprises a wide spectrum of disorders that range from simple steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), advanced fibrosis, related cirrhosis, and even hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Full description

Currently there are no effective medications to cure NAFLD. Current treatments for NAFLD include weight reduction through lifestyle modification and exercise, insulin-sensitizing agents, lipid-lowering agents, and hepatoprotective drugs. However, the efficacy of these therapies is not satisfactory, some drugs may even induce liver toxicity. Thus, it is necessary to develop novel therapies that are effective and safe for the treatment of NAFLD.

Hence, K Patel Phyto Extractions Pvt. Ltd. has formulated Curcuvail®. Objective of the current study is to compare efficacy, safety and tolerability of test formulation Curcuvail® by administering the medications in the adult patients suffering from Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and eligible to receive Curcuvail® as treatment.
