The domestic pharmaceutical industry offers its customers a wide range of products. However, most citizens buy foreign drugs at a much higher price. This trend dates back to the times of the USSR. All imports were considered a deficit. Every Soviet citizen strove to grab fashionable western jeans, etc. Now, thank God, there is no shortage of goods , but the stereotype remains.
This article will discuss a relatively new drug, the name of which is Tantum Verde. And also consider a rather relevant question: "is it possible to take medicine during pregnancy?"
Let's start with the background. Tantum Verde is made in Italy. The active substance is benzidamine hydrochloride. The range of application of the drug is quite wide: tonsillitis, gingivitis, pharyngitis, stomatitis, candidiasis, affecting the oral cavity. In our country, the medicine appeared relatively recently, but has already managed to win the favor of domestic “pundits”. It is prescribed for both children and expectant mothers. However, in no case should you resort to self-medication. If the drug has helped ten, then it is not a fact that it will make life easier for you either. The composition of the drug is specific and includes the following components: menthol supplements, ethyl alcohol, sodium bicarbonate, saccharin and some dyes. Many are interested in whether Tantum Verde can be used during pregnancy? This is a pretty interesting question. To begin with, let's talk about diseases in which it is contraindicated to use this medicine.
So, bronchial asthma, peptic ulcer, heart failure are the main factors in which in no case can be treated with the help of Tantum Verde. According to studies, monotherapy with the help of the drug is excluded. Tantum Verde can be used as a symptomatic treatment. Well, now let's get back to our future mothers.
Any woman in position should take any medication with great care. This also applies to the medicine we are considering. The thing is that Tantum Verde during pregnancy can be absolutely safe at the same time and cause side effects. What is the reason for such a picture? It's all in the form of the release of medication (tablets, spray and powder). The drug acts locally, that is, it does not penetrate the placenta and does not harm the baby. In most cases, after consulting a therapist, Tantum Verde during pregnancy is attributed in the form of a spray and a special solution. Moreover, the above dosage forms can be taken while breastfeeding. But Tantum Verde pills - a completely different conversation. Doctors in most cases are categorically against such a dosage form of the drug. Sometimes, in the form of a powder, a medicine is used to flush the vaginal canals. However, during pregnancy, doctors give preference to other, safer drugs. After birth, the powder is used, diluting it with warm water. Next, douching is performed in a prone position. Without particular concern, they attribute Tantum Verde to a spray during pregnancy. It will help get rid of inflammation of the mucous membrane of the mouth and pharynx.
On the good side, Tantum Verde has proven itself during pregnancy as a gel. The fact is that in many women in position, the veins of the lower extremities begin to swell. In this case, you need to use this drug, applying it to painful areas. Use the gel for one week. Every day, smear the legs from one to three times. Based on the foregoing, it should be remembered, especially to future mothers, that Tantum Verde is a drug that can be used during pregnancy. However, one must take into account its dosage form and be sure to consult a doctor.
