Taustin, eye drops 4% 10 ml

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Metabolic agent.

ATX code: S01XA

Pharmacological properties

Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid formed in the body during conversion of cysteine.

An anti-catabolic agent, it has a metabolic effect. It stimulates the processes of repair and regeneration in diseases of dystrophic nature and diseases accompanied by acute metabolic disorder of eye tissues.

It normalizes cell membrane functions, activates energy and metabolic processes, conserves electrolyte composition of cytoplasm due to accumulation of K⁺ and Ca²⁺, improves conditions of nerve impulse conducting.

Pharmacokinetics

In topical administration, systemic absorption is low.

Indications

The drug is used as part of complex therapy. Corneal dystrophy; cataract (senile, diabetic, traumatic, radiation); corneal injury (as a stimulator of reparative processes). Primary open-angle glaucoma (in combination with β-blockers (to improve the outflow of intraocular fluid)).

Pharmacological effect

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Metabolic agent.

ATX code: S01XА

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid formed in the body during the conversion of cysteine.

Anti-cataract agent, has a metabolic effect. Stimulates repair and regeneration processes in diseases of a dystrophic nature and diseases accompanied by a sharp disturbance in the metabolism of eye tissue.

Helps normalize the functions of cell membranes, activate energy and metabolic processes, preserve the electrolyte composition of the cytoplasm due to the accumulation of K+ and Ca2+, and improve the conditions for nerve impulse conduction.

Pharmacokinetics

When applied topically, systemic absorption is low.

Special instructions

If it is necessary to simultaneously use other ophthalmic drugs (eye drops, etc.), the interval between the use of taurine and other drugs should be at least 10-15 minutes.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and machinery

The use of the drug does not affect driving or engaging in potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Active ingredient

Taurine

Composition

1 ml of the drug contains:
Active ingredient: Taurine – 40 mg
Excipients: Methyl parahydroxybenzoate – 1 mg Water for injection – up to 1 ml

Pregnancy

Prescribing the drug during pregnancy and breastfeeding is possible only if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus or child.

Contraindications

Increased individual sensitivity, children’s age (up to 18 years).

Side Effects

Allergic reactions are possible.

If the side effects listed in the instructions get worse, or you notice any other side effects not listed in the instructions, tell your doctor.

Interaction

In patients with glaucoma (open angle), a significant increase in the hypotensive effect of β-blockers (butylaminohydroxypropoxyphenoxymethyl methyloxadiazole or timolol maleate) was noted when used together with taurine.

The effect is enhanced by increasing the coefficient of ease of outflow and reducing the production of aqueous humor.

Storage conditions

Store at a temperature not exceeding 25 ºС.

Keep out of the reach of children.

Shelf life

3 years.

Do not use after the expiration date!
