As such, pharmacokinetic studies on humans have not been conducted. In the laboratory, about 50-80% of Lazorin was absorbed. Metabolites tramazolin and the main components of the drug are perfectly distributed to the necessary organs and tissues. An increased dose of medication was recorded in the liver.

Therefore, it is not recommended to combine these two processes.

Interactions with other drugs
The interaction of Lazorin with other drugs is possible, but only if they have a different effect. The fact is that the simultaneous use of medicines with the same action can lead to the accumulation of the main components in the body. All this will contribute to the development of an overdose. Symptomatics can be varied, and even dangerous for health. Therefore, it is necessary to take this fact into account. Regarding other interactions, information is not available.
Simultaneous use of the drug together with MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants is fraught with serious consequences. So, a significant jump in blood pressure is not excluded. That's why the doctor does not recommend recourse to self-treatment. It is mandatory to seek help from a specialist and talk about the use of other drugs every day. It is only on the basis of such data that it is possible to draw up an ideal treatment regimen. However, it will not do any harm. Proper use of the medication will eliminate the problem effectively.
