Pharmacology
Lifil-E Capsule is a Vitamin E preparation. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant in the body. Vitamin E protects polyunsaturated fatty acids (which are components of cellular membrane) and other oxygen-sensitive substances such as vitamin
A & vitamin C from oxidation. Vitamin E reacts with free radicals, which is the cause of oxidative damage to cell membranes. The main pharmacological action of vitamin E in humans is its antioxidant effect.

Creatinuria, ceroid deposition, muscle weakness, decreased erythrocyte survival or increased in vitro haemolysis by oxidizing agents have been identified in adults and children with low serum tocopherol concentrations.
