Question
Why are multivitamins prescribed in viral hepatitis?
Answer
The liver is the largest and one of the most important organs in the body and has the greatest variety of functions. Most of the nutrients absorbed from the diet are transported directly to the liver for storage, repackaging, or combining with other compounds.

Liver disease causes malnutrition for three reasons. It hinders the digestion and absorption of food, affects the utilization of nutrients in the body and reduces food intake because of nausea, loss of appetite, and vomiting.
Hence vitamins are recommended in double the recommended daily allowance in liver disease.
