Resmirom Tablet 80mg contains Resmetirom, a novel medicine used to treat non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a serious form of fatty liver disease associated with liver inflammation and fibrosis. It helps reduce liver fat, inflammation, and prevents disease progression.

Resmetirom is a thyroid hormone receptor-beta (THR-β) agonist that specifically targets the liver to improve fat metabolism and reduce liver damage. It is the first FDA-approved oral treatment for NASH with liver fibrosis, offering a breakthrough option for patients who previously relied mainly on lifestyle changes.

This medicine is usually prescribed along with diet and exercise to improve liver health and reduce the risk of complications such as cirrhosis or liver failure.
