Pregnancy of a woman is the most joyful and responsible period. Expectant mothers give all their strength to caring for their health and the health of the baby, so the first symptoms of the disease should be eliminated immediately. But, unfortunately, not all medications are suitable for a woman expecting a baby. These medicines include the common cold remedy - Tizin. During pregnancy, can it be used, many women ask. We will try to give an exhaustive answer.
Doctors do not recommend the drug "Tizin" during pregnancy because of the xylometazoline hydrochloride contained in it. This substance in the treatment of the common cold narrows the blood vessels and has the desired effect on the nasal mucosa. It helps with nasal congestion, the mucus secreted is reduced, and pore narrowing occurs .
Despite the quick effect in the fight against the common cold, the Tizin medicine can cause a burning sensation in the nose, and unpleasant sensations appear. Possible side effects, such as headache, increased heart rate, general malaise, which can adversely affect the well-being of pregnant women.
The use of a medication or an overdose of a drug can lead to undesirable consequences. The drug "Tizin" during pregnancy can cause a number of unpleasant symptoms. The fact is that imidazole with excessive absorption can lead to a disorder of the central nervous system, a certain
lethargy, drowsiness, heart rate weakens, body temperature decreases. An overdose of this substance can lead to a decrease in blood pressure, respiratory failure, pulmonary edema and, worst of all, to a coma.
Knowing all the side effects of the drug, we can confidently say that the drug "Tizin" during pregnancy is not recommended. In this case, it is important to correctly assess the risk for the mother and the unborn baby, therefore, independent treatment with this tool is prohibited. The use of this medication is generally not recommended for pregnant women with low blood pressure, as it can lead to a hypotonic crisis.
The question follows: "How to treat a cold in pregnant women?" The most effective treatment during pregnancy is folk remedies or drugs that do not include chemicals.
With a runny nose, washing the nasal membrane with a weak solution of salt water or
saline, which can be found in any pharmacy, as well as warming, will help. To do this, about a hundred grams of salt is heated in a pan, then everything is wrapped in
cotton cloth and put on your nose. The duration of the procedure is ten to fifteen minutes.

Take this seriously and do not take any medicine without your doctor’s permission. After all, the health of you and your future baby depends on this. Only a woman's caring attitude towards herself can guarantee that the child will be healthy.
