Carnitab Oral Solution 500 mg/5 ml contains Levocarnitine, a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that plays a vital role in energy production within the body. Levocarnitine is essential for transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are converted into energy. Carnitab Oral Solution is specially formulated to manage carnitine deficiency and related metabolic disorders, helping improve energy levels, muscle function, and overall metabolic health. The oral liquid form makes it particularly suitable for children, elderly patients, and individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Levocarnitine 500 mg per 5 ml

• Dosage Form: Oral solution

• Therapeutic Class: Metabolic agent / Nutritional supplement

Mechanism of Action

Levocarnitine is essential for normal fat metabolism. It facilitates the transport of fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, enabling their oxidation and conversion into usable cellular energy (ATP). In cases of carnitine deficiency, the body cannot efficiently utilize fats for energy, leading to muscle weakness, fatigue, and metabolic imbalance.

Carnitab Oral Solution replenishes carnitine levels in the body, restoring proper fatty acid metabolism. This improves energy production, reduces the accumulation of toxic fatty acid metabolites, and supports optimal functioning of muscles, heart, and liver.

Indications and Uses

Carnitab Oral Solution 500 mg/5 ml is indicated for:

• Primary and secondary carnitine deficiency

• Metabolic disorders affecting fatty acid oxidation

• Chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis

• Muscle weakness and fatigue related to low carnitine levels

• Supportive therapy in cardiovascular and neuromuscular conditions

• Nutritional supplementation when dietary intake is inadequate

It may also be recommended in certain pediatric and geriatric conditions under medical supervision.
