Tad

TAD is a medication whose active ingredient is alpha-lipoic acid and is commonly used to treat nervous system damage such as diabetic neuropathy. Also known as "TAD 600" or "TAD 300," this preparation aims to protect cells from oxidative stress through its antioxidant effects.

What is TAD?

TAD is a product containing thioctic acid (alpha-lipoic acid) developed to support nerve cells. It has both antioxidant properties and may help regulate glucose metabolism. It can be administered orally in tablet form or by intravenous injection.

Active Ingredient

• Thioctic acid (Alpha-lipoic acid) – 300 mg or 600 mg
• Contains auxiliary preservatives in some forms

What is it used for?

• Diabetic peripheral neuropathy
• Pain, burning and tingling resulting from nerve damage
• Reducing oxidative stress
• Supporting liver function (in some cases)

How Does TAD Work?

Thanks to alpha-lipoic acid, TAD neutralizes free radicals that accumulate in the body. This protects nerve cells and supports nerve conduction. It also contributes to more efficient intracellular glucose utilization.

What Forms Does It Come In?

• TAD 600 ampoule: Solution for injection, administered intravenously
• TAD 600 tablets: Taken orally, usually once a day

How to Use?

The dosage should be determined by the physician based on the patient's health condition. TAD is generally taken before meals. Injectable forms should only be administered by healthcare professionals.

General Instructions for Use

• The tablet form can be taken as 600 mg once a day.
• The injection form is administered by slow infusion into a vein.
• Taking it on an empty stomach may increase absorption

Who Can Use It?

• Patients with diabetic neuropathy
• Individuals experiencing neurological sensitivity
• Adult patients seeking antioxidant support

Are There Any Side Effects?

TAD is generally well tolerated. However, some people may experience the following side effects:

• dizziness

• Mild rash or allergic reactions
• Tenderness at the injection site

Where to Obtain TAD?

TAD is a prescription medication and can only be obtained from pharmacies with a doctor's recommendation. Ampoule forms are generally administered in hospital or clinic settings.

Things to Consider

• It should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding without medical supervision.
