About TAURA PLUS Tablet 10's
TAURA-PLUS Tablet 10's 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.
TAURA PLUS Tablet 10's 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.

Acetylcysteine is also an antioxidant and can reduce the production of free radicals that cause tissue damage. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. Altogether TAURA PLUS Tablet 10's works by protecting the kidneys from damage by harmful chemicals (free radicals).

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.
