It's no secret that expectant mothers get sick more often. A decrease in immunity plays a role by increasing the level of progesterone, which is necessary so that the body can not get rid of a foreign protein, which is an embryo that penetrates into the wall of the uterus. It also affects the increase in the load on the internal organs, which now have to work for two.
Most often, the kidneys are hit. Not all drugs are safe for the future baby, therefore, natural herbal preparations are widely used. In particular, such is Fitolizin. During pregnancy, he is the No. 1 choice for therapists and nephrologists.
Causes of kidney damage
The female genitourinary system is very fragile. During the bearing of the baby, the load on it increases several times. The kidneys provide the excretion of the waste products of the mother and fetus. Their task is even more complicated with multiple pregnancies, and the risk of developing infectious and inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary sphere is significantly increased.
Why is such close attention paid to this? The risk of fetal damage increases, since the kidneys are in close proximity to the uterus and the unborn baby. An excellent helper for prevention and treatment is Fitolizin. During pregnancy, it can be used with minimal restrictions, reducing the frequency of prescribing antibiotics and other serious drugs. It contains only natural components, that is, extracts from plant materials.
We assess the risk to the fetus
This should be done by the gynecologist who leads the pregnancy, as well as the therapist who must work with the antenatal clinic. With all the wealth of drugs on the modern market for expectant mothers, the number of drugs is very limited. “Fitolizin” during pregnancy is good because, unlike most other drugs, it cannot harm the fetus.
But at the same time, the doctor should examine the patient, interview her and assess the condition, as well as study the results of the tests. In some cases, the components of the drug can cause an allergic reaction. In other cases, the infection is too serious to lose time and try to defeat it with a paste prepared on the basis of medicinal plants. After weighing all these points, the doctor can prescribe Fitolizin during pregnancy if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the possible risk to the fetus.
The composition of the drug
Even having an appointment in hand, every woman carrying a child will definitely get acquainted with the components that make up her composition. By expanding the insert to the drug, almost everyone immediately calms down, seeing only herbal components in the composition. Here it is necessary to emphasize the moment that the drug really works and has good reviews.
“Phytolysin” during pregnancy is widely used precisely because it combines two important qualities: it is safe for the fetus and helps to cope with the infection, especially in the early stages of the development of the disease.
Plant extracts
All components of the paste are well known to folk healers. Some of them are so familiar that they are already difficult to perceive as a medicine. Nevertheless, official studies confirm their high efficiency, which allows doctors to prescribe the drug to their patients without a doubt. The composition of the paste includes:
- Onion peel.
- Oil of pine, citrus and sage.
- Parsley.
- Goldenrod.
- Wheatgrass.

Despite its safety, the use of Fitolizin during pregnancy should be agreed with the attending physician. The spectrum of the effects of each of these components on the body can be discussed for quite some time, but today we will confine ourselves to the statement that together they can remove quite serious inflammations and greatly facilitate the life of a future mother. There are some disadvantages to this. Due to the presence of essential oils, the preparation turned out to be quite peculiar in taste.
