Linex in pregnancy is prescribed in order to develop the body of the future mother's own bifido- and lactic acid bacteria, as a means to improve immunity.

The pharmacological drug linex is widely used in the treatment and prevention of dysbacteriosis. Normalize the condition in colitis and gastroenterocolitis of acute or chronic course will help Linex during pregnancy. The product is released in the form of capsules, the dissolution of which occurs directly in the intestines, which allows directly delivering beneficial bacteria to their natural environment. The composition of the lineage is acidophilic bifido- and lactobacilli, as well as non-pathogenic enterococci. Microorganisms of the drug promote better digestion and assimilation of proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, calcium and iron.

Symptoms in which the drug is shown:

  • intestinal disorders with stool;
  • flatulence;
  • eructation;
  • pain in the abdomen;
  • nausea.

Useful bacteria in the lineex are dried strains of microorganisms, so some doctors doubt its effectiveness. Such bacteria for a long time do not take root in the intestine and are excreted along with the calves. In connection with this fact, there are cases of overdose and complications when taking medication. In addition, each organism is unique, so a woman waiting for a child should be contacted by a medical institution, not a friend.

Whether it is possible at pregnancy?

Lineks is a part of the group of permitted drugs during the period of gestation and lactation. With respect to the dosage of factors, adverse effects on the fetus were not revealed. However, the question: "Is it possible to have a lineage during pregnancy?", Is considered separately for each individual pregnancy. Recall that the drug contains lactose, so if you have intolerance to dairy products, then lineex can cause a hypersensitivity reaction and the associated negative consequences.

The therapeutic effect is achieved by the dosage prescribed by the doctor. The maximum number of capsules per day can go up to six, when the reception is divided into three stages. Lineks during pregnancy are taken orally after a meal with a sufficient volume of water.

Immediately stop the treatment with a linex and contact a specialist if:

  • Diarrhea does not stop on the second day after taking the medication;
  • an increase in temperature is observed up to 38 ° C;
  • there was a sharp pain in the abdomen;
  • found mucus / blood in the stool.

The organism of a pregnant woman can react quite unexpectedly to food, smell and even more so to a pharmacological substance. If prior to conception you have tolerated a particular medicine, then pregnancy can change it.

Instructions to the line during pregnancy

Used forex during pregnancy or forte. The difference between the line and the forte is that the latter contains more strains of lacto- and bifidobacteria, and also does not include enterococci. The instruction of the forte forte warns about the entry of glucose, fructose, sucrose and inulin into the preparation. With caution appoint capsules for chronic diseases, such as: diabetes mellitus or cardiovascular problems.

The instruction to the lineage during pregnancy indicates the absence of negative consequences during the intrauterine development and after the birth of the baby during breastfeeding.

Therapy of diarrhea in a pregnant woman should be strictly controlled by the attending physician. In case of particularly severe stomach upset, it is important to maintain the water balance, to prevent the lack of electrolytes and the development of other adverse effects that threaten the future mother or fetus. The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor, based on the individual characteristics of the body, as well as the causes and course of dysbacteriosis.

The price of lineage during pregnancy

The price of the lineage during pregnancy varies within the limits of 53-252 UAH, which is due to the "internal policy" of the pricing of the pharmacy, which may belong to the network or is detached. The cost affects the form of release, dosage and manufacturer.

Reviews about linex during pregnancy

Probiotic Linex is advised to take at least two weeks to achieve a therapeutic effect. Otherwise, the microflora will not have time to recover, and the work of the gastrointestinal tract will malfunction.

In numerous forums you can find both positive and negative feedback about the linex during pregnancy. Someone the drug perfectly suits and helps, but someone does not notice any improvement in the state at all. The fact remains: each organism is unique, and during pregnancy, it is a huge change, so the reaction to the drug can not be foreseen.

On the Internet the information that linex often falsifies. This also explains the lack of a favorable outcome in therapy.

Often, the lineage during pregnancy, containing dry strains of beneficial bacteria, is recommended to replace with liquid probiotics with live cultures. Liquid preparations are considered several times more effective, since they contain active bacteria that create biofilms on the intestinal mucosa. Strains of living microorganisms are able to prevent gestosis and restore normal flora in the most severe dysbacteriosis.
