Taurine 50mg/ml

30mL

50mg/ml
Dosage and Administration: Typically administered intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM), with dosages varying based on individual needs [1].

Taurine has several mechanisms of action that contribute to its various health benefits:
Antioxidant Properties: Taurine helps regulate antioxidant enzymes and inhibits the generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, reducing oxidative stress [3].
Neurotransmitter and Neuromodulator: Taurine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter and neuromodulator, similar to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which helps calm the nervous system [6].
Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme Inhibition: Taurine can inhibit cytochrome P-450 enzymes, which are involved in drug metabolism [5].
Anti-inflammatory Effects: Taurine reduces inflammation, which can help manage conditions like heart failure and high blood pressure.
 

Contraindications
Hypersensitivity: Avoid taurine if you have a known hypersensitivity to any of its components [7].
Precautions
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): Patients with CHF should be closely monitored while receiving taurine [7].
Kidney Function: Long-term use of single amino acids like taurine can lead to a negative nitrogen balance, potentially causing kidney strain [8].
Children: Taurine supplementation is generally not recommended for children unless prescribed by a healthcare provider [8].
 

Taurine can have interactions with the following [8]:
Anesthetics (drugs used to prevent pain during procedures)
Antidepressants (drugs used to treat depression)
Antibacterials (drugs used against bacterial infections)
Antiepileptics (drugs used to treat seizures)
Alcohol
Aspirin
Tylenol (acetaminophen)
Taurine has no known severe, serious or moderate interactions with other drugs [7]. However, it may interact with substances such as insulin and other diabetes medicines, and alcohol [8]. Taurine works as a cytochrome P-450 enzyme inhibitor, which means that it interferes with medications that rely on this enzyme to metabolize drugs [2].

Taurine is generally well-tolerated, but like any supplement, it can cause side effects in some individuals. Here are some potential adverse reactions and side effects:
Common Side Effects
Gastrointestinal Issues: Nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain [1][9].
Headaches: Some individuals may experience headaches [1][9].
Rare but Serious Side Effects
Seizures: Particularly in individuals with underlying health conditions [9].
Cardiovascular Symptoms: Fast or pounding heartbeats, fluttering in the chest, shortness of breath, and sudden dizziness [7].
Precautions
Interactions with Medications: Taurine can interact with medications like lithium and antihypertensive drugs, potentially leading to increased side effects [10].
Underlying Health Conditions: Individuals with heart conditions or other serious health issues should consult a healthcare provider before using taurine [7].
 

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Taurine supplementation is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data [8][7].

Taurine injections should be stored properly to maintain their effectiveness. Here are the key storage guidelines:
Temperature: Store at controlled room temperature.
Light Protection: Protect from light to prevent degradation [1].
