WHAT IS HEPAMUST SYRUP?
Hepamust is a herbal liver care syrup for dogs and cats manufactured by Pet Mankind — a division of Mankind Pharmaceuticals, one of India's largest pharmaceutical companies. It is formulated with Silymarin as the key active ingredient, derived from Milk Thistle — the most clinically studied hepatoprotective herb in veterinary medicine.
Hepamust is not a prescription medication. It is a nutritional liver support supplement used alongside veterinary treatment or as a preventive liver tonic for pets on long-term medications.
HOW SILYMARIN PROTECTS THE LIVER
Antioxidant Protection
Silymarin neutralises free radicals and prevents oxidative damage to liver cell membranes — the primary mechanism of toxin-induced liver injury in dogs.
Hepatocyte Regeneration
Stimulates protein synthesis in liver cells, accelerating the regeneration of damaged hepatocytes. Critical during recovery from liver infections, toxin exposure, or post-surgery.
Anti-fibrotic Action
Inhibits the activation of stellate cells that produce collagen, slowing or preventing the progression of liver fibrosis in dogs with chronic liver disease.
WHEN VETERINARIANS RECOMMEND HEPAMUST
During and After Antibiotic Courses
Prolonged antibiotic use places significant strain on the liver. Hepamust is routinely given alongside antibiotic treatment to protect hepatic function.
During Long-Term Steroid Use
Dogs on Prednisolone or Dexamethasone for autoimmune conditions or allergies benefit from concurrent liver support to counteract steroid-induced hepatopathy.
Post-Illness Recovery
After serious infections like leptospirosis, parvovirus, or tick fever — all of which cause liver damage — Hepamust supports regeneration of liver tissue during recovery.
Appetite Loss and Weight Loss
Liver dysfunction is a common and underdiagnosed cause of chronic appetite loss in dogs. Hepamust's hepatoprotective action often leads to improved appetite as liver function improves.
Senior Dogs and Cats
Pets over 7 years benefit from regular liver support supplementation as part of preventive senior healthcare.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — HEPAMUST LIVER CARE SYRUP
Why does my dog need a liver supplement? ▼
The liver processes every medication, toxin, and chemical your dog is exposed to. Long-term use of antibiotics, steroids, or tick and flea treatments puts consistent strain on liver cells. Hepamust's Silymarin content helps protect and regenerate liver tissue — especially important for dogs on repeated or long-term medication courses.
Can I give Hepamust alongside my dog's other medicines? ▼
Yes. Hepamust is a herbal supplement and is generally safe alongside most veterinary medications. In fact, it is most commonly given during antibiotic or steroid courses specifically to protect the liver during treatment. Check with your vet if your dog is on multiple medications simultaneously.
My dog had tick fever and recovered — should I use Hepamust? ▼
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons vets recommend Hepamust in India. Tick fever (Ehrlichiosis and Babesiosis) causes significant liver damage. Post-tick fever recovery with Silymarin supplementation helps restore liver function and speeds up overall recovery.
How quickly does Hepamust show results? ▼
Appetite improvement is often noticed within 1–2 weeks. For liver enzyme normalisation (confirmed via blood tests), meaningful improvement typically shows after 3–4 weeks of consistent use. Silymarin works gradually — give it time.
Is Hepamust safe for long-term use? ▼
Yes. Silymarin is one of the safest herbal ingredients used in veterinary medicine. It has no known toxicity at recommended doses and is suitable for long-term use in senior pets or pets with chronic liver conditions. Always follow the recommended dosage.
Can Hepamust be given to cats? ▼
Yes. Hepamust is formulated for both dogs and cats. Give 5ml twice daily for cats and small breeds. Mix with wet food for easiest administration. Cats with hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver) particularly benefit from Silymarin supplementation.
