Whether it is possible tsitramon at pregnancy?

The teratogenic effect of citramone (a violation of intrauterine development) is due to acetylsalicylic acid. Within twelve weeks the foundation of the baby's bodies is laid. The use of aspirin is fraught with serious defects - "wolf mouth" and "hare lip". To get rid of these pathologies, surgical intervention will subsequently be necessary.

Whether it is possible zitramon at pregnancy on the late terms? Caffeine increases the effect of acetylsalicylic acid, which can weaken labor, cause bleeding and premature closure of the aortic duct in the child.

Some future mothers put their state of health in the first place. Of course, it is very important that the pregnancy proceeds in a harmonious and healthy state. But is it necessary to test fate and apply chemical medicines?

How does Citramone affect pregnancy?

Citramon is not as harmless as it is commonly believed. Overdosing or individual intolerance of the drug can develop deafness, stomach / intestinal ulcer, change in blood composition, and lead to active hemorrhage and dysfunctions of the central nervous system.

How does Citramone affect pregnancy? The medicine causes Reilly's syndrome or "dead finger syndrome" in children. Pathology manifests itself under the influence of acetylsalicylic acid and manifests itself in the form of convulsions of one or several fingers of the fetal limb. The process indicates a violation of blood circulation and is dangerous gangrene, leading to the death of the child. For the same reason, refrain from tsitramon is necessary for breastfeeding and children under 18 years of age.

Possessing a blood thinning property, aspirin can threaten with sudden internal bleeding. If the uterus is in a tone, and the vessels are not elastic enough, this increases the risk of severe bleeding, which can leave the fetus without oxygen for a long time and cause a number of pathologies.

Citramon during pregnancy adversely affects blood circulation between the placenta and the baby.

Is Citramone Harmful in Pregnancy?

The cause of the headache should, above all, be diagnosed. The attending physician should prescribe the treatment according to your delicate situation.

On the question "Is Citrimonum Harmful in Pregnancy?" There is a definite answer - yes. The results of taking the drug may be the most unpredictable and serious. The component of citramone - aspirin causes irreversible pathologies of intrauterine development in the first twelve weeks and is dangerous by the decrease in labor activity in the process of resolution from pregnancy.

Try to do without medications before the birth of the baby and at the time of lactation. Full sleep, rest, outdoor walks, cold compresses, in the extreme case of no-shpa - will help you overcome an unpleasant syndrome. Some women manage to cope with the disease thanks to the balsam "asterisk".

The use of citramon in early pregnancy

The first three months of pregnancy are characterized by hormonal changes in the female body that affect the functioning of organs and systems. Blood vessels also undergo changes, working under increased expansion-contraction conditions. Sharp drops in blood pressure respond with a pain syndrome in the head, causing hard-to-transfer migraines.

Naturally, citramon in the early stages of pregnancy will remove the most severe pain, if you drink at least 2 tablets. A future mother should understand that a drug based on acetylsalicylic acid in the first trimester can cause congenital anomalies - the development of a split hard palate ("wolf mouth") and upper lip ("hare's lip"). From congenital malformations get rid of only through a complex surgical procedure.

The first twelve weeks of citramone can not be used during pregnancy. If you suffer from intolerable, non-migraine headaches, consult a doctor who can advise the use of paracetamol or other medication.

Instructions for the use of Citramonum during pregnancy

Citramon during pregnancy freely penetrates into the placenta in any of the trimesters. The only question is, how will it affect the embryo in each specific case? The risk of development of intrauterine anomalies is great at any stage of fetal development.

Let's turn to the flyer-leaflet to the drug: Citrimon during pregnancy, the instruction assures that the drug has contraindications only at the beginning, end of embryo development and lactation. How to be: on the one hand a wild migraine, and on the other - the fear of harming a child?

Let's return in the era of the USSR, when the drug appeared in pharmacies for the first time. The composition of citramone was the following (without specifying the amount of substances): 

  • Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin); 
  • cocoa; 
  • lemon acid; 
  • caffeine; 
  • phenacetin - stopped taking into account the presence of serious side effects.

Despite even the withdrawal of phenacetin, the modern pharmacological market provides the drug under the same "name", but with its composition:

It can be seen from the table that there is no single instruction for the dosage of a medicinal product - the amount of substances is different. Maybe that's why one tablet of citramone helps, but on others it does not work at all.

Citramon also has an impressive list of side effects: 

  • increases nervous excitability; 
  • leads to sleep disturbances; 
  • causes renal failure, internal hemorrhage; 
  • causes a weak coagulability of blood; 
  • disrupts the functioning of the liver; 
  • causes allergic reactions, etc.

Headache during pregnancy and citramone

It is interesting that the opinions of doctors about the use of citramone in pregnancy are divided. Some doctors zealously recommend the use of the drug regardless of the stage of development of the fetus, while others - categorically against the use of the drug throughout the entire gestation process. The latter believe that a safe medication is only no-shpa.

If you suffer from migraines in the process of bearing a child, you should first determine the cause of the pain. The cause of the headache may be: 

  • external factors - stress, nervous / physical overwork; 
  • food - some varieties of fish, nuts, chocolate, cheeses; 
  • hormonal changes; 
  • lack or excess of sleep; 
  • a sharp change of weather.

Headache in pregnancy tsitramon - not allowed. To facilitate the condition, with the permission of the doctor, you can take paracetamol or no-shpu. If migraine is accompanied by a decrease in intestinal peristalsis, as a result - nausea, vomiting, recommend the use of paracetamol in combination with caffeine. Caffeine facilitates and accelerates the absorption capacity, and hence the therapeutic effect of drugs is achieved more quickly.

If you drank zitramon during pregnancy

When a woman drank Citramon during pregnancy, she should report this to the gynecologist, as soon as possible. Only the doctor can determine the presence of violations of the development of the fetus. Remember that after a fight with your fists you do not wave, so do not exacerbate your situation by self-flagellation and nervous attacks.

Based on the responses of the pregnant women themselves, many of them allowed the doctor to take Citramon. Women who have given birth to healthy and full-grown babies are advised to take medicine to get rid of unbearable migraines, but do not abuse it. Use of any medical device should be agreed with the doctor.

Citramon forte during pregnancy

Citramon forte consists of: Acetylsalicylic acid, paracetamol, caffeine, citric acid. And the quantitative component of aspirin is greater than in other analogues of citramone.

We study the instruction, which shows the side effects: 

  • liver dysfunction; 
  • ulcerative processes of the digestive system; 
  • decreased blood clotting, possible bleeding; 
  • negative impact on the kidneys; 
  • allergic processes; 
  • headache and dizziness.

Citramon forte during pregnancy is categorically contraindicated, which can be understood by the quantitative composition of acetylsalicylic acid. While the manufacturing companies call zitramon an old, reliable and trusted friend (by the way, not always including the use of the drug in pregnancy in the instruction), future mothers need to learn to soberly assess the situation even during a migraine attack and be able to take responsibility for the consequences.

To use tsitramon at pregnancy or not is a conscious choice of each woman expecting occurrence of the kid. If your pain is really unbearable, go to a specialist. If you act out of habit, "seizing" the pain with a pill, then the entire responsibility for the generic process and the health of the unborn child lies with you.

Citramon: contraindications in pregnancy

Acetylsalicylic acid found in the composition of citramone is prohibited in the first and third trimester of bearing a child, since it can cause developmental defects at an early stage. As for the last period of pregnancy, aspirin poses a risk due to: 

  • slow process of labor activity; 
  • the possibility of closing the arterial duct, which causes the process of hyperplasia in the vessels of the lungs and hypertension of the vessels of the small circle of blood circulation.

Citramon contraindications in pregnancy apply to the violation of platelet aggregation and inhibition of the synthesis of prothrombin in the liver, which is fraught with heavy bleeding in labor.

The side effects of the caffeine drug include: 

  • increased nervous excitability; 
  • insomnia; 
  • increase in blood pressure.

Take care of the use of any pharmaceutical preparation with caution, so as not to harm the baby.
