Where Can I Buy Bromantane (Ladasten)?

We have contacted the manufacturer Pharmstandard – one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Russia – and they told us that the drug has been discontinued because its registration has expired. We are not sure if it is an actual reason since Bromantane (Ladasten) was not a popular product compared to Noopept and other drugs of this company. The representative of Pharmstandard also said that they might start to produce Bromantane (Ladasten) again in the new factory and with a new registration but this is a long process and, so it is not yet clear when it will be possible to buy Bromantane (Ladasten).

What is Bromantane (Ladasten)?

Developed in the 1970s in the Research Institute of Pharmacology (Russia), Bromantane was the first pharmaceutical of its kind that could exhibit simultaneously both mild psychostimulating and anxiolytic effects. Bromantane is very different from typical psychostimulants in that it does not work on any particular receptor in the brain but acts on the expression of 1116 genes, all of which affect the central nervous system.

Its unique mild psychostimulating effect can be attributed particularly to an increase in the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase – the key ferment responsible for dopamine synthesis. In other words, bromantane indirectly stimulates the expression of dopamine, unlike typical stimulants, which simply release dopamine already stored in the synaptic cleft. As a result, Ladasten has a weaker stimulating effect and does not cause dopamine depletion.

Bromantane was also found to have an anxiolytic effect that was attributed to a decrease in the expression of the GABA-transporter gene. This results in an increase in GABA in the synaptic cleft, which explains its anxiolytic properties. This compound was extensively studied in Russia and was found to be very safe.

What is Bromantane (Ladasten) Used For?

Ladasten can be used by those who have the following symptoms:
