Antiviral drugs during pregnancy: 1, 2, 3 trimester

During pregnancy, all women experience a decrease in immunity. This is necessary for the normal course of development of the fetal egg. Immediately after fertilization, the woman's organism perceives the embryo as an alien body and tries to tear it away. It is for this purpose that nature intended a deliberate decrease in the body's immune defense.

Colds during pregnancy

Surely everyone knows that antiviral drugs during pregnancy can be dangerous. That's why you should not neglect your self-health and self-medicate. This is how most non-pregnant women of the fair sex act.

A woman who is in an interesting situation should get a medical examination as soon as possible if she has a cold. At the same time, the assessment should be made not only by the therapist, but also by the gynecologist.

Treatment of a cold during pregnancy

The disease should never be left to its own devices. You always need to make the appropriate correction. In most cases, doctors recommend the use of folk remedies for treatment. However, in some cases, antiviral drugs are simply necessary. Not all means are allowed during pregnancy. Always take into account the age of the fetus.

Antiviral drugs during pregnancy: 1st trimester

At this stage, the future baby is especially prone to the influence of extraneous factors. In the first trimester of pregnancy , the placenta has not yet been formed, which should protect the baby. That is why it is very cautious to take various medications. You can use tablets or medicine only on the advice of a doctor. Self-treatment can cause irreparable harm to the future baby.

Antiviral drugs during pregnancy should be taken with the prescribed dosage. Quite often physicians reduce the dose indicated in the annotation, thereby they want to reduce the negative impact on the fetus. In the first trimester, you may be given "Arbidol" tablets, but only in a prophylactic dosage. In this case, you can never independently increase the number of tablets. Also, the doctor can recommend drinking Paracetamol, but you only need to do this when the body temperature rises.

When the infection develops in the sinuses of the nose, antiviral drops are prescribed: "Pinosol" or "Lazolvan". They are safe for the baby, since they are not absorbed into the blood, but have only a local effect. Also, for irrigation of the throat is recommended to use a solution of "Lugol", oil "Chlorophyllipt" or spray "Tantum Verde".

In the first trimester of pregnancy, if possible, use only traditional methods of treatment, but you can not take a large amount of vitamin C. This is why you need to carefully choose the grandmother's recipes.

Antiviral drugs during pregnancy: 2nd trimester

At this stage, treatment is somewhat easier, but it should be noted that in the second trimester, future mothers are ill quite rarely. Antiviral drugs during pregnancy (in the second trimester) do not have any effect on the fetus, as it is reliably protected by the formed placenta. However, this does not mean that the medicine can be taken from now on alone and thoughtlessly. At this stage, all the same remedies that the doctor recommended at earlier times are allowed.

Antiviral drugs for pregnancy that can be consumed after 14 weeks can be: Interferon drops, Viferon suppositories, Ocilococcinum or Ergoferon tablets.

All these substances contain the main active substance: interferon. Getting into the body, it binds to proteins and destroys viruses, increasing their own immunity. The method of introducing the substance is chosen by the doctor and depends only on what kind of virus got into your body.

With a common cold, preference should be given to tablets and drops. At the same time, the latter are prepared independently (from dry powder, which can be purchased in the pharmacy network).

If the virus has struck your intestines, then it is worth choosing candles. They are administered rectally and affect the body more quickly.

Third trimester and treatment of viral diseases

Allowed antiviral drugs during pregnancy (3 trimester) account for a slightly larger list. During this period, you can be assigned all the same funds that you can use in the second trimester. In this case, the dosage can be increased from prophylactic to normal.

Also, at this time, antibacterial agents can be treated. This becomes necessary in the event that antiviral drugs become impotent. From antimicrobial agents the following can be recommended: tablets "Flemoxin", capsules "Fmoksitsilin", means "Vilprofen" and others. Before starting such treatment, it is necessary to pass a bacterial culture on the sensitivity to these or other drugs. Simultaneously with such treatment, it is worth taking drugs that restore the intestinal microflora of the intestine and vagina.

Antiviral drugs before childbirth

If you get sick before the very birth of your baby, then it's worth starting treatment as soon as possible. Poor health during delivery can lead to unexpected consequences. At the same time, one should remember the time of antiviral drugs withdrawal from the body. If you took antimicrobial drugs a few hours before the birth of the baby, then perhaps you will not be allowed to immediately breast-feed your baby. All medicines from the body must be withdrawn before breastfeeding. That is why the treatment before childbirth should be approached especially responsibly.

Consult an experienced professional and find out all the subtleties and nuances of this correction.
