The use of Strepsils during pregnancy is not dangerous, but this should be done only after the appointment of a doctor.

Strepsils during pregnancy will have a mild effect and protect the woman's oral cavity from the growth of bacteria and fungi. After all, the pregnant woman’s body is attacked by viruses in connection with a weakened immune system.

Colds, unfortunately, are a frequent occurrence during pregnancy, since the woman’s immunity is currently significantly weakened, and a decrease in immunity significantly reduces the risk of spontaneous miscarriage. It is because of this that pregnant women can exacerbate inflammatory diseases, for example, tonsillitis, periodontal disease, acute pharyngitis, stomatitis or laryngitis. Medicines in the treatment process should be selected carefully and only after consultation with a specialist.

One of the most effective drugs for infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity is strepsils, which has a local anesthetic and antibacterial effect.

Strepsils is a combined fungicidal preparation for use in ENT practice and dentistry.

Can Strepsils be pregnant, the doctor decides in each case individually. Even if the specified drug previously helped you well, now you need to be more careful about the use of any medicine, even local effects.

Strepsils during pregnancy or during the period of feeding the baby is allowed, since it is absolutely safe for the baby. Its components are not excreted in breast milk and do not have a mutagenic, teratogenic and embryotoxic effect. Strepsils is not prohibited for pregnant women, unless there are other contraindications in connection with the chronic diseases of the expectant mother.





The active substances that make up the drug (amylmetacresol and 2, 4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol), as well as excipients (anise and peppermint essential oils, levomenthol, tartaric acid, carmazine edicole, ponso edicole, sucrose and liquid dextrose) are practically not absorbed blood, therefore its reception is relatively safe for the fetus. Essential oils soften the mucous membrane by enhancing the secretion of salivary glands. An increase in the amount of saliva secreted also has an antibacterial effect, since saliva contains lysozyme (a natural antibiotic). In addition, essential oils in contact with the mucosa cause hyperemia in this area, which leads to improved microcirculation and thereby accelerates the healing process.

The use of Strepsils during pregnancy is possible, but under the supervision of a doctor. This tool has excellent antibacterial properties, therefore it is effective against many bacteria (aerobic and anaerobic) and some fungi (for example, the genus Candida). It has a bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect due to the destruction of the bacterial cell membranes, thereby dehydrating the cells of microorganisms, which as a result leads to their death.

But you should not abuse drugs of this type, since against the background of this an allergic reaction to one of the components of the drug may appear. If there were no reactions before pregnancy, then the risk of allergies is low. However, in this case, the dosage and regularity of use must be strictly observed. The doctor when prescribing Strepsils during pregnancy takes into account all the individual characteristics of the woman’s health.

Contraindications

When using the drug strictly according to indications, not exceeding the recommended doses, no side effects were noted.

In very rare cases, an allergic reaction to the active components of strepsils may occur, as well as a loss of sensitivity of the tongue, a change in taste sensations.

Remember that the safest way to relieve sore throat during pregnancy is to rinse with infusions and decoctions of herbs, a solution of furatsilina or drinking soda. But if you still get sick, then you should consult a doctor. He must prescribe a medication. Moreover, the entire treatment process is under the supervision of a doctor. Only in this case, you can be sure of the effectiveness, and most importantly - the safety of the medicines taken.

It is also impossible not to treat ARVI, since absolutely any inflammation can harm the child. For prevention, you need to smear your nose with oxolinic ointment, eat onions and garlic. This will help to avoid unpleasant health problems.
