Pharmacological properties

Taurine is a natural product of the exchange of sulfur-containing amino acids: cysteine, cysteamine, methionine. Taurine has osmoregulatory and membrane-protective properties, has a positive effect on the phospholipid composition of cell membranes, and normalizes the exchange of calcium and potassium ions in cells. Taurine has been shown to have inhibitory neurotransmitter properties, it has anti-stress effect, it can regulate the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), adrenaline, prolactin and other hormones, as well as regulate the responses to them. Participating in the synthesis of proteins of the respiratory chain in mitochondria, taurine regulates oxidative processes and exhibits antioxidant properties; affects enzymes such as cytochromes involved in the metabolism of various xenobiotics.
Taurine improves metabolic processes in the heart, liver and other organs and tissues. In chronic diffuse liver diseases, taurine increases blood flow and reduces the severity of cytolysis.

Treatment with CardioActiv Taurine in case of cardiovascular insufficiency (CSN) leads to a decrease in stagnation in the small and large circulation circles:

intracardiac diastolic pressure decreases, myocardial contractility increases (maximum rate of contraction and relaxation, contractility and relaxation indices). The drug moderately reduces blood pressure (BP) in patients with arterial hypertension and has virtually no effect on blood pressure in patients with cardiovascular insufficiency with low BP.

CardioActive Taurine reduces the side effects that occur when an overdose of cardiac glycosides and blockers of "slow" calcium channels; reduces the hepatotoxicity of antifungal drugs. Increases performance with heavy physical exertion.

In diabetes mellitus, approximately 2 weeks after the start of the administration of the drug CardioActive Tuarin, the concentration of glucose in the blood decreases. A significant decrease in the concentration of triglycerides, to a lesser extent, of cholesterol concentration, a decrease in plasma lipid atherogenicity has also been observed. With prolonged use of the drug (about 6 months) marked improvement in the microcirculatory blood flow of the eye.
