About Taustine Tablet

Taustine Tablet belongs to the group of medications called ‘anti-diabetic’ used in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy (diabetic kidney disease). Diabetic nephropathy is kidney damage resulting from diabetes. It is a major cause of kidney failure. The kidney damage can be slowed down by controlling the blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. 

Taustine Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Taurine and Acetylcysteine. Taurine is an amino acid that has antioxidant properties. It can reduce further tissue damage in the kidneys. It can also reduce blood glucose levels. These effects help to control disease progression in diabetic kidney disease. Acetylcysteine is also an antioxidant and can reduce the production of free radicals that cause tissue damage. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. Altogether Taustine Tablet  works by protecting the kidneys from damage by harmful chemicals (free radicals).

It would be best if you took Taustine Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Taustine Tablet are nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (being sick), and rash. These side-effects are mild and temporary. However, consult your doctor immediately if any of these side-effects persist or get worsen.

Do not take Taustine Tablet if you are allergic to Taurine, Acetylcysteine, or any other contents present in it. It is not recommended for children under 14 years of age. Before taking Taustine Tablet , inform your doctor if you have asthma, stomach ulcers, liver, or kidney diseases, and allergic to histamine (in people who are intolerant to foods and drinks containing histamines such as tomatoes, processed foods, or wine).

Disease/Condition Glossary

Diabetic nephropathy: Diabetic nephropathy is a condition in which there is a progression of kidney damage due to diabetes. A high level of blood sugar causes the kidney to filter too much blood. This continuous overwork can cause the kidneys to lose their ability to filter, leading to nephropathy. Symptoms are seen in later stages and include swelling of the face, hands, feet, difficulty sleeping, nausea, loss of appetite, itching or dry skin, drowsiness, and weakness. It can be prevented by controlling blood glucose levels or keeping blood glucose levels in the normal range.
