Low carnitine levels in the blood can be prevented and treated with this medication. The body produces carnitine from meat and dairy products.

It supports the body’s utilisation of specific substances (long-chain fatty acids) for energy and wellness.

People who cannot properly use the carnitine in their diets, those on dialysis due to severe kidney disease, and those receiving certain medications may experience low blood levels of carnitine (such as valproic acid, and zidovudine).

Problems with the liver, heart, and muscles can result from low levels of carnitine.

If you have severe kidney disease (like ESRD/dialysis), the injectable form of this medication is advised because high doses of the oral form could increase the risk of serious side effects.

For more information, talk to your doctor or Semper Fidelis Healthcare.
