Lazorin is widely used to prevent problems associated with swelling of the nasal mucosa. Simply put, it is used during periods of exacerbation of allergies and colds.
Indications Lazorin
The main indications for the use of Lazorin are the complete elimination of inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Usually, this phenomenon occurs during the course of rhinitis. Acute manifestation of the disease and other infectious and inflammatory processes in the organs of hearing and breathing lead to swelling. All this brings a lot of discomfort to a person. The effective remedy Lazorin will help get rid of the problem. It is not dangerous, so it is widely used in medicine.
It is actively used for sinusitis, eustachitis, otitis. It helps to relieve the discharge of secretions. This remedy can hardly be called strong in its kind, because it does not include antibiotics in its composition. Therefore, it can be safely used, but after consulting a doctor. The remedy is used both independently and in complex therapy to eliminate inflammatory diseases. Much depends on the patient's condition. The drug cannot fight acute rhinitis "alone". A specialist will help to select an effective treatment in this case.
Release form
Release form - nasal spray in a dosage of 1.18 mg / ml. It is in a glass spray can with a special dosing valve, 10 ml. 1 ml of the product contains many useful components. So, it is 1.265 mg of tramazoline hydrochloride monohydrate. This dosage is fully consistent with 1.18 mg of tramazoline hydrochloride.
Additional substances include: sodium hydroxide, citric acid, povidone. The active effect is provided by: benzalkonium chloride, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, calcium chloride dihydrate. For maximum effect, the composition included: sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, menthol, eucalyptus, camphor, purified water.
Thanks to its rich composition, the effect of the drug is achieved quickly. The main thing is to undergo treatment correctly and not deviate from the specified scheme. In this case, a positive result will not take long to come. There is no other form. Lazorin is supplied exclusively in the form of a spray. Tablets, capsules and drops do not exist. Therefore, when going to buy a product, it is worth knowing in what form it is sold.
Pharmacodynamics
Pharmacodynamics Lazorin - the active ingredient is tramazoline. Its main group is α-sympathomimetics. The component has a pronounced vasoconstrictor effect. It perfectly relieves swelling of the nasal mucosa. This allows you to improve breathing. When instilling Lazorin into the nasal passages, the effect of vasoconstriction is noted literally after 5 minutes. A person feels significant relief for 10 hours. Therefore, it is not necessary to use the medication often. This greatly simplifies the situation, especially if a person is constantly on the move.
As such, pharmacokinetic studies on humans have not been conducted. In laboratory conditions, approximately 50-80% of Lazorin was absorbed. Tramazoline metabolites and the main components of the drug are perfectly distributed among the necessary organs and tissues. An increased dose of the drug was recorded in the liver. The period of partial excretion is 5-7 hours. As for elimination, it is carried out by the kidneys. After using the drug, three main metabolites of the components included in its composition were detected in the urine.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics Lazorin - the first pass effect is carried out through the liver. The main component of the drug is tramazoline. It actively constricts blood vessels, significantly reduces swelling of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity. All this significantly improves nasal breathing. The main effect is noticeable after 5 minutes. It becomes much easier to breathe. All this lasts for 8-10 hours. This will allow you not to carry the product with you constantly.
No special pharmacokinetic studies have been conducted. During the studies, it was concluded that 50-80% is completely absorbed from the body. Tramazoline metabolites and the main active ingredient are gradually and evenly distributed throughout all affected tissues. Increased concentration is observed in the liver. The active component is completely eliminated by the kidneys. If we talk about the half-life, it is 5-7 days. Three main components remain in the urine after use.
Dosing and administration
The method of application and dosage are somewhat individual. Thus, children from 6 years old and adults need to take the drug one dose up to 4 times a day. In this way, the maximum effect is achieved. It is highly recommended not to use the drug for more than one week.
Before each use of Lazorin, remove the safety cap from the canister. Before use, thoroughly clean the nasal cavity from excess mucus. Otherwise, the medicine will not be able to reach its intended destination. Then, insert the tip into each nasal passage in turn and press the dispenser. One injection is enough, while you should inhale deeply. After use, thoroughly rinse the tip. There should be no mucus left on it. Then close the canister tightly and place it in its storage place.
When using the drug by children, it is worth monitoring this process. After all, they can harm their own body. Naturally, this is not allowed. As for pregnant women, the dosage in this case is individual and is agreed upon separately with the attending physician.

Use Lazorin during pregnancy
The use of Lazorin during pregnancy is highly discouraged. The first trimester is particularly dangerous. During this period, the use of any medications is fraught with serious consequences. No pathological effects on the mother's or child's body have been observed during pregnancy. However, despite this, Lazorin should be excluded from use during the first months. In the second and third trimesters, it is recommended to discuss the possibility of using the medication with your doctor. There is no data regarding the use of the medication during breastfeeding. Therefore, combining these two processes is not recommended.
The product is not able to penetrate deep into the body and thus cause harm to it. But, situations are different. It is difficult to say how Lazorin affects the fetus and whether it is able to cause harm. Therefore, the risk remains constant. It is better not to resort to treatment on your own. As mentioned above, it is especially dangerous to do this in the first months of pregnancy. In the rest, everything is carried out under the supervision of a specialist.
Contraindications
There are contraindications to the use of Lazorin, and they are mainly associated with increased hypersensitivity to the main components of the drug. Otherwise, the risk of developing a serious allergic reaction remains high. Despite the high efficiency of eliminating rhinitis, it is undesirable to use the drug in its atrophic form.
In case of closed glaucoma, it is worth avoiding treatment with this medication. Despite its safety, the drug is not used by children under six years of age. There is a risk of damage to the nasal mucosa. Lazorin is highly not recommended for use after surgical interventions that were carried out by penetrating the nasal cavity.
Any medication is used individually. Therefore, you should not use Lazorin without the knowledge of a specialist. There is a risk of getting an allergic reaction of any complexity. Increased danger is observed in children, this fact should be taken into account.
Side effects Lazorin
Side effects of Lazorin manifest themselves in different ways. Mainly, it is headache, sneezing. This happens because a person has a mild allergic reaction to the components of the drug. This is quite normal and does not pose any danger. But if drowsiness appears, accompanied by dizziness and taste disturbances, you should stop taking the medication. This is fraught with serious consequences.
Sometimes tachycardia is observed. A significant jump in blood pressure is possible. Heart rhythm may also change. This is especially dangerous for people with heart problems. Hallucinations may occur. Sometimes dryness and severe burning of the mucous membrane, sneezing, nosebleeds manifest themselves. Nausea is possible. This occurs due to the ingestion of a small amount of the drug. Allergic reactions also manifest themselves. They consist of the occurrence of skin rashes, itching, and swelling of the nasal mucosa. To avoid problems, it is worth studying the contraindications and the method of taking the medication in detail.
Overdose
Overdose in some cases occurs due to improper use of the medication. It manifests itself in the form of symptoms of intoxication with alpha-sympathomimetics. What does this mean? A person begins to be bothered by constant insomnia. In addition, drowsiness is observed. A person wants to sleep, but cannot. Against the background of these symptoms, dizziness develops, nausea is possible. Children often experience increased tachycardia. There is a sharp jump in blood pressure.
Intoxication with the active component in children can cause convulsions. There have been cases of a person falling into a coma. High blood pressure may occur, with difficulty breathing. This is really serious. The main thing is to start eliminating the problem in time.
When using an increased dose of the drug, strong overexcitation of the central nervous system is possible. The person begins to be bothered by hallucinations. In some cases, convulsions manifest themselves. If the central nervous system, on the contrary, is in a depressed state, then the symptoms are completely different. Thus, the person feels a significant decrease in temperature, he constantly wants to sleep. The most dangerous symptom is coma. Symptoms of Lazorin intoxication and the transition between the active and depressed phases can be erased.
In case of severe intoxication with the active component, nausea and severe sweating may develop. Arrhythmia, fever and complete cardiac arrest may occur. All this indicates that it is highly inadvisable to change the dosage on your own.
Overdose treatment is not difficult at all. It is enough to rinse the nasal passages, then prescribe symptomatic therapy. If the product has entered the stomach, rinse it.
Interactions with other drugs
Interaction of Lazorin with other drugs is possible, but only if they have a different effect. The fact is that the simultaneous use of drugs with the same effect can lead to the accumulation of the main components in the body. All this will contribute to the development of an overdose. Symptoms can be varied, and even dangerous to health. Therefore, this fact must be taken into account. Regarding other interactions, there is no information.
The simultaneous use of the drug together with MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants is fraught with serious consequences. Thus, a significant jump in blood pressure cannot be ruled out. That is why the doctor does not recommend resorting to self-medication. It is imperative to seek help from a specialist and say that other drugs are used daily. Only on the basis of such data can an ideal treatment plan be drawn up. At the same time, it will not cause harm. Correct use of the drug will eliminate the problem effectively.
