Bisorcic was first described in the literature in 1973 in a German patent.[2] The INN was designated around 1975.[7] The drug was marketed in France by Astyl-Gallier in 1987.[1] It was provided in the form of 200 mg oral capsules and four capsules were taken daily.[1]
L-Ornithine, as the combination drug L-ornithine L-aspartate (LOLA), has been used in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy and cirrhosis and is likewise described as hepatoprotective.[8][9] It is thought to work by participating in the urea cycle and lowering ammonia levels.[8][9]
