So is the drug 'Panadol' safe in pregnancy?

Pregnant women always pay much attention to their health. This is not accidental. As you know, many seemingly absolutely harmless diseases can be extremely dangerous for the pregnant woman herself and her child. Most of the modern drugs used to get rid of pain of various origins, fever, runny nose, etc., are contraindicated for expectant mothers. However, no one is immune from migraine or cold, even during the "waiting for a miracle." Medicinal products that do not have contraindications during pregnancy can be counted on the fingers. One of them is the drug "Panadol", with pregnancy prescribed strictly by the doctor in charge.

This drug is available in the form of tablets and is used to get rid of the main symptoms of colds and the treatment of mild migraine headaches and dental pains, back pain and muscle. The main active ingredient of the drug is the phenacitin metabolite - paracetamol. Tablets have antipyretic effect and have a mild anti-inflammatory effect.

The drug "Panadol" during pregnancy should be taken with great care, like other medicines, and not more than four tablets per day. The medication that is necessary for the recovery of the medication is selected, as a rule, by the attending physician. The substances that enter the blood of a pregnant woman are quickly transferred to the fetus. It is for this reason that you should refrain from taking any medications whatsoever. With long-term treatment with the drug, the chemicals included in its composition can most negatively affect the fetal development of the fetus. Although to date, visible pathologies in children born to women who took the drug "Panadol" during pregnancy, has never been observed. Abuse of medicines in the early stages of pregnancy can lead to miscarriage. Treatment of expectant mothers with drugs, which include analgin and aspirin, is strictly prohibited.

Currently, among many future mothers widely believed that the drug "Children's Panadol" in pregnancy Absolutely safe. This opinion is completely untrue. If we compare the composition of ordinary and children's medicines, we will see the difference only in the dose of the active substance contained in them. Reducing the dose of paracetamol reduces the effectiveness of the drug, but, as in the case of the drug "Panadol" for adults, poses an immediate threat to the development and health of the future baby.

This drug has its contraindications. These include: kidney and liver disease, increased sensitivity to the main component of the drug. In case of overdose, the following symptoms may occur: nausea, pale skin, vomiting, acute renal failure. When the permissible dose of the drug is exceeded ten times, the patient falls into a coma. In the absence of the necessary measures to prevent further poisoning, lethal outcome often occurs. Talking about an overdose of a drug during pregnancy is not advisable. This threatens miscarriage and severe for the health of women's consequences. If the dose specified by the specialist is observed, the drug "Panadol" during pregnancy is absolutely safe for the health of the mother and baby.

The close connection that has arisen between the mother and the child even before his birth, does not collapse and with the appearance of the baby in the light. In the first months of life, the baby receives all the microelements necessary for the full development of her body with the mother's milk. The composition of milk, women affect the food they eat. The dose of almost any medicinal product that has got into her body will certainly receive along with the baby and the baby. The drug "Panadol" when breastfeeding is also used only for the doctor's prescription. In general, in parallel with the planning of pregnancy should be engaged in strengthening immunity. Strong immunity is the key to the birth of a healthy and beautiful baby!
