Cefasily Film Coated Tablet

Cefasily Film Coated Tablet’s active ingredient is Silymarin, a standardised extract derived from the fruit (seeds) of Silybum marianum, commonly known as milk thistle. Despite the ‘Cefa-‘ prefix in its brand name, which may resemble the naming convention of cephalosporin antibiotics, it does not contain any antibiotic or antibacterial ingredient — its formulation is a milk thistle extract supplement tablet.

Each film-coated tablet is commonly available at a standardised strength of around 140mg of Silymarin, supplied in a pack of 60 tablets. Silymarin is a flavonolignan complex extracted from milk thistle seeds and is a well-established ingredient in liver-health supplement products sold across pharmacies in Malaysia and other markets. The film coating is designed to make the tablet easier to swallow and to mask the taste of the underlying extract.

Cefasily Film Coated Tablet is sold as an OTC (Over-the-Counter) liver-health supplement in Malaysia, available from community and online pharmacies without a doctor’s prescription. Customers taking other regular prescription medicines, or with an existing liver condition, are encouraged to check with a pharmacist before starting this supplement, and to always confirm the exact strength and full ingredient list against the current product packaging.

Take one Cefasily Film Coated Tablet orally, swallowed whole with a glass of water, generally once or twice daily or as stated on the product packaging or advised by a pharmacist. It may be taken with or without food; taking it with food may help reduce stomach discomfort in sensitive individuals. Do not crush or chew the tablet unless instructed otherwise.

The typical adult intake for standardised 140mg silymarin film-coated tablets is one tablet once or twice daily, though the exact frequency and maximum daily amount should follow the instructions printed on the product packaging, as recommended intake can vary by manufacturer and formulation strength. Do not exceed the stated daily amount. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it is close to the next scheduled dose, in which case the missed dose should be skipped rather than doubled up. This is a supplement rather than a treatment for a diagnosed medical condition; anyone with an existing liver condition or taking other medicines regularly should check with a doctor or pharmacist before use, and should consult a doctor if persistent symptoms occur.
