ATSTS during pregnancy is appointed by the doctor in the event that the possible risk to the fetus exceeds the expected result.
The reason for the risk is that the drug itself destroys the chemical bonds of substances that are part of the sputum, that is, the ACC is an expectorant. Naturally, the process of destruction occurs due to the components that are part of the drug: acetylcysteine - an active substance. The category of action of acetylcysteine on a child by the FDA is B. In addition, there are a number of side effects:
- heartburn, nausea, vomiting;
- stomatitis.
ATSTS during pregnancy try to replace other drugs, for example, Mukaltin, Ambroxol, Sinupret, Chimotrypsin and others. ATSTS in this period of time prescribe the pregnant woman only in extreme cases.
Is it possible to have ACC in pregnancy?
Uniquely answer this question can only the doctor, because the action of ACC in pregnancy is not only the future mother, but also the fetus itself. In addition, the mechanism of exposure during pregnancy of this drug is not well understood, so the consequences can be unpredictable.
So it is possible or impossible?
Of course, it is possible, if the doctor does not see another solution to the problem. But do not take the drug yourself. In addition to all the above, doctors are familiar with contraindications and side effects, and, of course, that during pregnancy such a tool is prescribed extremely rarely. Most often it is replaced by other drugs that are safe for the fetus.
But if the doctor has already appointed azts during pregnancy, then he chooses the course and the dose of application.
ATSTS Long in Pregnancy
ATSTS during pregnancy, namely all of its dosage forms, including ATSTS Long, should be taken with caution, and under the strict supervision of a doctor.
The structure of ATSTS Long includes active (acetylcysteine) and auxiliary (citric acid, sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium carbonate, mannitol, lactose, ascorbic acid, sodium cyclamate, sodium saccharinate dihydrate, sodium citrate dihydrate, blackberry flavor "B") substances. The complex integration of these active and auxiliary components has not been sufficiently studied, namely their impact on the child. Therefore, ATSTS Long, as well as other forms of ATS during pregnancy are appointed in special cases. Of course, the methods of use during pregnancy are determined by the doctor.

Brief instruction on the use of ACC in pregnancy

- bronchitis,
- tracheitis,
- cystic fibrosis,
- exudative otitis media,
- sinusitis.
If a pregnant woman has one of these diseases, then as a rule, a complex treatment is prescribed, which includes antiviral drugs (which, only the doctor decides), expectorants and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Reviews about ATSTS during pregnancy
As for the reviews, many women do not risk using the ATS during pregnancy and lactation, as there is very little information about its impact on the child. Pregnant women try to replace this drug with another - more proven means. A nursing mother, either act in a similar way, or stop the process of lactation.
Feedback on the ATS during pregnancy is quite contradictory, that is, some say "nothing terrible", others are afraid. But, in any case, especially rely on feedback in this situation should not be as the reaction of the body to a particular drug for each person has its own, especially since the instruction contains warnings about the use of ATSs during pregnancy.
ATSC during pregnancy, doctors are trying to replace a safer alternative, therefore, the instructions do not specify methods of use during pregnancy and lactation.
