Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

The tablets prescribed to you will not help in reducing fatty liver. It will help prevent spasmodic pain and gastritis. Here are some of the suggestions to help reduce fatty liver

1. Avoid alcohol and red meat
2. Make sure that your food has less of fat content. Avoid ghee, butter, cheese, fried food, etc
3. Exercise daily, especially bending exercises to reduce abdominal fat
4. I usually prescribe Tab Atorvastatin once a day at night. Please speak to your doctor regarding my suggestion

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
