default
Posted on Fri, 7 Oct 2016
Question: Is it safe to take cozaar (for blood pressure, 25 mg) and taurine together? I was just advised to take taurine today. (3 grams). I take Cosaar at night and was told to take the taurine as well. I also take Vitamin D3 and L-lysine in the morning. I am 70, and those are are the drugs/supplements I take. Thank you, XXXX

Brief Answer:
no known interactions

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

At the moment there are no known interactions between these agents.

Taurine is referred to as an amino acid and is normally found in high quantities in the brain, retina (back of the eye), heart and platelets.
It has been found to be useful in heart failure and hepatitis.

Some research also suggest that it may be helpful in other areas but the evidence is not entirely conclusive eg high blood pressure, diabetes, anemia

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
