Frequently asked questions

Levo-carnitine is not a steroid; it is a compound derived from the amino acids lysine and methionine, essential for transporting fats into cells for energy production. It is used to treat both primary and secondary Levo-carnitine deficiency.
Warfarin may prolong the time it takes for blood to clot when taken with Levo-carnitine. Inform your doctor if you are on warfarin before starting Levo-carnitine.
Carnitine deficiency can be primary, which is genetic and may present symptoms by age five, or secondary, which can result from conditions like chronic kidney failure or antibiotic use that affects absorption and increases excretion.
