Latran: An effective antiemetic from the Russian company Pharmzashchita

In the world of pharmaceuticals, there is a wide range of medications available for a variety of diseases and conditions. One such drug is Latran, produced by the Russian pharmaceutical company Pharmzashchita. Latran belongs to the group of antiemetics and is an effective remedy for preventing nausea and vomiting.

The main active ingredient in Latran is ondansetron, which is widely known for its ability to reduce nausea and prevent vomiting. The dosage form of Latran includes a solution for intravenous injection containing 0.2% ondansetron, as well as film-coated tablets with a dosage of 4 mg.

Ondansetron, the international name of Latran, is also known by various synonyms such as Vero-Ondansetron, Zofran, Ondansentron-Lance, Ondansetron-Ferein, Ondansetron hydrochloride dihydrate, Osetron, Emeset and Emetron.

The main use of Latran is associated with the prevention of nausea and vomiting during cytotoxic chemotherapy, including the use of high doses of cisplatin, as well as during radiation therapy and in the postoperative period. The medicine helps to cope with nausea and vomiting, which are common side effects during these procedures and operations.

However, it must be taken into account that Latran has contraindications for use. It is not recommended for hypersensitivity to the active substance, insufficient liver function, or after abdominal surgery. It is also worth noting that the drug is not recommended for pregnant women, especially in the first three months of pregnancy, or for nursing mothers. For children under 2 years of age, the drug is contraindicated during anesthesia, under 4 years of age during chemotherapy, and during radiation therapy and for prescribing suppositories, the use of Latran is not recommended for all age groups.

When using Latran, side effects may occur, such as constipation, diarrhea, dry mouth, hiccups, headache, dizziness, visual disturbances, a feeling of warmth and a rush of blood to the face, depression of the central nervous system, weakness, seizures and others. If any side effects or unusual reactions to the drug occur, you should consult a doctor for advice.
