Description, composition of Taufon

Taufon is an eye drop that contains vitamins and a sulfur-containing amino acid in the form of taurine, which is formed in the body during the conversion of another amino acid, cysteine.

The medicine improves energy levels, stimulates restoration and healing processes in diseases associated with metabolic disorders. As a sulfur-containing amino acid, taufon helps normalize the function of the body's cell membranes and improves energy and metabolic processes inside the cell. The medicinal properties of the drug are due to the regulation of metabolism at the cellular level.

The effectiveness of the drug is confirmed by positive reviews from many patients.

Directions for use and dosage

Taufon is used in the form of instillations.

For dystrophic diseases and injuries of the cornea, 1-2 drops are prescribed 2-4 times a day for 1 month.

For cataracts, 1-2 drops are prescribed 2-4 times a day for 3 months, after 3 months a repeat course is given.

For open-angle glaucoma, the recommended dose is 1-2 drops 2 times a day for 6 weeks, after which a 2-week break is taken. Taufon is used in combination with timolol or butylaminohydroxypropoxyphenoxymethyl methyloxadiazole and its combined forms, dripped approximately 15–20 minutes before one of the beta-blockers.

Indications for use of Taufon

The medicine is used for various eye diseases that are caused by metabolic disorders (dystrophic lesions of the retina, cornea, various types of cataracts - radiation, traumatic, senile, etc.), traumatic damage to the cornea.

For oral administration (in tablet form), Taufon is prescribed for cardiovascular failure, in case of overdose of cardiac glycosides (drugs of digitalis, lily of the valley, etc.). It is rarely used in this form, because There are more effective metabolic drugs that can replace Taufon when administered systemically.

Indications for use of Taufon drops

From the scope of action, we can say that I use Taufon for a number of diseases, among which are:

• redinodystrophy (dystrophic phenomena on the retina), caused by a number of reasons;
• corneal damage caused by traumatic factors, incl. and domestic injuries;
• cataracts of various etymologies;
• corneal dystrophies caused by senile, traumatic, radiation, and other factors;
• open-angle forms of glaucoma.

Taufon

Another domestic product where the main substance is taurine is Taufon. Taurine is made from the amino acid cysteine, which has two main functions:

1. Formation of tissues.
2. Launching processes to destroy toxins.

In addition to taurine, the drops contain methylparaben (bactericidal substance), sodium hydroxide (NaOH, regulates the pH environment), purified water (sterile, microbiologically pure solution, tasteless and odorless).

Taufon is contraindicated for children under 18 years of age and people with allergies to its components. Ophthalmologists recommend drops for the following diseases:

• Corneal dystrophy.
• Cataract (age-related, traumatic).
• Glaucoma (in complex therapy).
• Cloudiness of the cornea.

Treatment is prescribed by the doctor, depending on the diagnosis. Clinical studies have shown that Taufon restores the functions of cell membranes, improves the transmission of nerve impulses, and activates metabolic processes. The drug has low absorption, which allows the therapeutic effect to accumulate without causing side effects.

Taufon is often prescribed in complex therapy, for example with Irifrin , Tsipromed, to correct spasm of accommodation. In such cases, vision improves noticeably after two weeks, but the recommended course of one month must be completed.

Methods of instillation and dosage

Treatment with Taufon, dose and course, depends on the disease. These eye drops can be used both as installations (they are dripped into the conjunctival sac) and subconjunctivally (injections). In some cases, it is also used orally (tablets). Usually, the prescription of treatment is very individual, taking into account the characteristics of the patient and the history of the disease. When using drops (even if prescribed by an ophthalmologist), be sure to read the instructions for use.

Important! Before instillation, the tube of medicine should be warmed to room temperature; to do this, just hold it in your hand.

1. Use of Taufon for cataracts. Taufon drops are instilled into the conjunctival sac. The frequency depends on the doctor's prescription, but most often it is 3-4 times a day. Dose – 2-3 drops for each eye. The treatment period is 3 months with a break of 1 month, as well as a repeat course.
2. If there has been an injury. Instill in the same doses (2-3 drops up to 4 times a day), but for 1 month. Sometimes the doctor may prescribe a shorter cycle.
3. For open glaucoma. Here installations are carried out 2 times a day, 2-3 drops. Be sure to take it in combination with Timololomi 30 minutes before. The treatment period is very individual and is determined by the ophthalmologist.
4. If degenerative phenomena or penetrating injuries of the cornea are present. Administered by injection (subconjunctival), the amount of the drug is 0.3 ml. 4 percent solution. 1 time per day. Course – 10 days. Repeat cycle after 6 or more often 8 months.

You should also know a number of features of using Taufon.

• Taufon can be used in parallel with other eye drops, but the interval should be at least 15 minutes, preferably 20.
• When instilling these drops, you can put on the lenses no earlier than after 20 minutes (they may become cloudy from the medicine).
• The edge of the bottle should not come into contact with the cornea or other surfaces.
• Do not use drops if you have an allergic reaction to taurine.
• When using drops in combination with eye ointments, the ointments should be applied after instillation, with an interval of at least 20 minutes.
• You should be careful when driving, as the procedure may cause temporary blurred vision. In this case, it is necessary to start operating vehicles or machinery no earlier than half an hour after installation.

Contraindications to the use of Taufon drops

Among the contraindications to the use of Taufon, only allergic reactions have been identified, which can manifest as burning, increased lacrimation, and redness. As a rule, if these side effects occur, the dose of the drug should be reduced.

The drug itself usually does not cause any discomfort and is well tolerated.

Cases of overdose have not been described.

Storage of Taufon drops

A special feature will be the mandatory storage of open packaging at a temperature not exceeding +15 0. A closed container can be stored for 3 years. After violation of sterility no more than 3 weeks.

Taufon eye drops should be used strictly as prescribed by your doctor.

Most often they are used to treat traumatic and degenerative phenomena on the retina and eye tissues; they effectively reduce the pressure of intraocular fluid, and in combination with Timolol and blood pressure. The medicine should not be used by persons under 18 years of age, pregnant women, or during lactation.

Taufon is an eye drop for restoring the retina. The drug is often used for glaucoma to normalize intraocular pressure. It has a retinoprotective and metabolic effect.

The active ingredient is taurine. Takes an active part in metabolic processes (especially fat), and also helps to optimize energy processes in the body.

Data from some experiments suggest that taurine plays the role of an amino acid responsible for the transmission of excitation in nerve tissues. It has an anticonvulsant effect, which can be used to achieve a cardiotropic effect.

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.

Taufon eye drops stimulate regeneration processes in case of traumatic disorders of eye tissue and dystrophic changes in the retina.

Composition of Taufon drops (1 ml):

• taurine – 40 mg;
• auxiliary components: 1 M sodium hydroxide solution - up to pH 5.0–6.5, methylparaben (methyl parahydroxybenzoate) - 1 mg, water for injection - up to 1 ml.

Taufon eye drops are used to treat eye diseases associated with metabolic disorders in the cells of the cornea and internal tissues, as well as, if necessary, to stimulate the reparative (restorative and healing) abilities of cells during degenerative changes in tissues.

The composition of Taufon is a single preparation of taurine, the density of which in solution is 4%, as well as water.

Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is formed in our body from cysteine ​​during complex transformation processes. In medicine, it is used in many preparations for the treatment of eyes.
