L CARNITINE belongs to the class of 'nutraceutical products', primarily used to treat carnitine deficiency. Carnitine deficiency is a metabolic muscle disease caused by low levels of carnitine. Carnitine is an amino acid that helps in the production of energy from fatty acids. Symptoms of carnitine deficiency include weakness in the muscles of hips, shoulders, upper arms and legs, low blood sugar, fatigue, vomiting, abdominal pain, growth retardation and low weight.
L CARNITINE contains L-Carnitine or Levo-carnitine, a naturally occurring derivative of the amino acids, lysine and methionine. When taken as a supplement, the body converts L-Carnitine into acetyl-L-carnitine and propionyl-L-carnitine. These products further help the body to produce energy from fat.
Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Sometimes, L CARNITINE may have common side effects like stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist for a longer time, please seek medical advice.
Let your doctor know if you are using prescription, non-prescription drugs and herbal products before starting L CARNITINE. If you are known to be allergic to L CARNITINE or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Please tell your doctor if you have an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), liver or kidney diseases, diabetes, fits, and dialysis treatment. If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother, please consult your doctor before taking L CARNITINE. L CARNITINE is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.
Primary and secondary carnitine deficiency.
L CARNITINE is used to treat primary and secondary carnitine deficiency. It contains L-Carnitine or Levo-carnitine, a naturally occurring derivative obtained from amino acids, lysine and methionine. When the body lacks the carnitine, L CARNITINE helps in replacing those low levels. L CARNITINE is further converted into acetyl-L-carnitine and propionyl-L-carnitine in the body. These products further help the body to produce energy from fat. L CARNITINE also plays a role as a water-soluble vitamin, antilipemic drug (lowers blood cholesterol), and a nootropic agent (improve cognitive function).

Carnitine deficiency is a metabolic muscle disease caused by low levels of carnitine. Carnitine is an amino acid that helps in the production of energy from fatty acids. Carnitine deficiency can be primary and secondary. Primary carnitine deficiency occurs due to a genetic mutation in the substance responsible for bringing the carnitine into the cells. Secondary carnitine deficiency occurs when there is not enough carnitine in the blood. Symptoms of carnitine deficiency include weakness in the muscles of hips, shoulders, upper arms, and legs, low blood sugar, fatigue, vomiting, abdominal pain, growth retardation, and low weight.
