| COMPOSITION: | Each 5 G Sachet Contains: L-arginine Ip 3 G. Excipients Q.s. Colour: Sunset Yellow Fcf. |
| FORMULATION: | Oral Powder |
| Description: | Agrilate contains L-Arginine IP 3 g in each 5 g sachet, as an orange-coloured oral powder that is dissolved in water before drinking. L-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid, one of the building blocks of proteins, and is a prescription medicine to be taken as directed by the physician. In the lining of blood vessels, the enzyme nitric oxide synthase converts L-Arginine into nitric oxide, a natural messenger that relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessel walls. This widens the vessels (vasodilation) so blood flows more easily and carries more oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs, including the placenta. L-Arginine is also used by the body in the urea cycle to remove ammonia, to make creatine and polyamines, and to build the proteins needed for tissue repair, wound healing and immune function. It also helps stimulate the release of hormones such as growth hormone and insulin. It is prescribed as a supportive treatment in pregnancy for poor growth of the baby in the womb (IUGR) and low amniotic fluid, to improve blood vessel function and circulation, for nutritional support during recovery from illness, surgery, burns or wounds, and in some cases of male infertility and erectile difficulty. The powder form allows a large 3 g dose to be taken easily in water. |

Heart disease: in a clinical study in people who had recently had a heart attack, L-Arginine did not improve outcomes and was associated with more deaths. Do not use it after a heart attack unless your doctor advises it. Potassium levels: L-Arginine may increase blood potassium, especially in people with kidney or liver disease or those taking ACE inhibitors, ARBs or potassium-sparing diuretics. Blood sugar: may affect blood sugar levels. People with diabetes should monitor their sugar. Asthma and allergies: may worsen allergic reactions or asthma symptoms in some people. Sunset Yellow FCF can cause sensitivity reactions. Before surgery: tell your doctor you take this medicine. Driving: do not drive or operate machinery if you feel dizzy. |
