Lizobact has been used for a long time during pregnancy and is effective in combating pain in the throat. According to the international classification, Lizobact is classified as a drug that can affect the respiratory system.
The period of pregnancy requires special attention from specialists, since any impact of a negative factor can affect not only the condition of the woman, but also the fetus. However, it is very difficult not to get sick even with a common cold with a runny nose and a sore throat for 9 months.
This medicine is used for throat pathologies, disinfecting the lesion, as it is considered a good antiseptic. The main active ingredient is lysozyme hydrochloride and pyridoxine hydrochloride. Lizobact is available in tablet form.
Each tablet contains 20 mg of lysozyme and 10 mg of pyridoxine, as well as additional components - tragacanth, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, vanillin and sodium saccharin.
It is important to remember that Lizobact contains natural components, which is why the drug does not have a quick effect, but ultimately copes with the pathology. Due to the fact that the drug is an antiseptic, its action is aimed at destroying the throat infection, so you should not expect immediate relief after the first pill.
Is it possible to take Lizobact during pregnancy?
The main task of the doctor to whom the pregnant woman turns is to select a drug that does not have a negative effect on the fetus and at the same time brings relief, reducing the severity of clinical symptoms.
Is it possible to use lysobact during pregnancy or is it better to use folk remedies? Doctors say that lysobact is allowed to be used during pregnancy and even during breastfeeding. Contraindications to its use are individual intolerance to the main active substance or additional components.
As for folk remedies for treating throat diseases, here it is allowed to gargle only with those infusions that the pregnant woman has already used and knows for sure that she is not allergic to these herbs.
Pathological conditions of the throat during pregnancy can be treated by local therapy methods, since the general effect of antibacterial or other antiseptic agents on the body is undesirable. Getting into the general bloodstream, the active substance is able to pass through the placental barrier and have a damaging effect on the fetus's organs, which are not yet fully formed.
Lizobact acts as a local antiseptic, either as monotherapy or in combination with other medications.
Instructions for lysobact during pregnancy
This drug is available in tablet form, so it is very easy to dose and prevent overdose. Thus, the use of lysobact consists of dissolving the tablet several times a day.
The instructions for Lizobact during pregnancy state that during the process of absorption, the main active substance remains in the oral cavity longer, exerting a destructive effect on infectious agents. If the tablet is swallowed without dissolving, the effect will be minimal, since there will be no time for a local reaction at all.
The instructions for Lizobact during pregnancy suggest dissolving 2 tablets three times a day for a week. However, it is worth remembering that the dose and duration of treatment are determined exclusively by the doctor.
The mechanism of action of lysobact is based on the destruction of microbial cell walls by lysozyme, while vitamin B6 increases the local immune defense of the oral mucosa. Thus, the death of pathogenic microorganisms and the prevention of infection with new ones are observed.
Due to this mechanism, lysobact effectively fights pathogens, thereby reducing the intensity of clinical manifestations of the disease. Of course, you won’t be able to get a quick result, but after a few days you will still feel significant relief.
Lizobact in early pregnancy
The first months of pregnancy are particularly important, since it is at this time that all the organs and systems of the fetus are laid down, which will develop throughout the rest of the period.
Any negative impact on the pregnant woman's body can affect the health of the fetus. As a result, various mutations or inadequate development of organs are possible.
Lizobact is allowed for use in early pregnancy, as it does not have a general effect, but acts exclusively locally in the oral cavity. It promotes the death of pathogenic microorganisms, thereby reducing the severity of symptoms of throat disease.
However, it is worth remembering that in the first months of pregnancy it is advisable not to take any medications at all to avoid affecting the fetus. Thus, it is recommended to use solutions for gargling with the addition of salt with soda or based on herbs, to which the pregnant woman does not develop an allergic reaction.
Lizobact is not allowed for use in early pregnancy if the woman has an intolerance to the main active ingredient or additional substances. Allergies during pregnancy are highly undesirable.
Lizobact during pregnancy in the 1st trimester
The first months of pregnancy determine the formation of the fetus's organs, so at this stage the woman is prohibited from using any medications.
During pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, the pregnant woman's body "restructures" itself to provide the necessary conditions for the growth and development of the fetus. This is especially true for the hormonal state, which changes the qualitative and quantitative composition of hormones.
In addition, the immune system of a pregnant woman also cannot always cope with pathogenic microorganisms, resulting in symptoms of acute respiratory viral infections or exacerbation of chronic pathology. It is at this moment that the question of treatment and medications that are allowed for use arises.
According to the instructions, Lizobact is allowed for use during pregnancy in the first trimester; however, if we consider the mechanism of action of the drug, we can doubt the complete absence of influence on the fetus.
Thus, the main active substance - lysozyme, is released from the tablet during the process of resorption and then has a local effect on the mucous membrane of the throat. However, a small part can still penetrate into the general bloodstream through the mucous organs of the digestive tract.
It is also worth noting that lysozyme is able to penetrate the placental barrier, so Lysobact is still not recommended during pregnancy in the first trimester.
Lizobact during pregnancy in the 2nd trimester
During the second trimester of pregnancy, further development of organs and systems, the formation of which occurred in the first months, occurs.
Lizobact is approved for use during pregnancy in the 2nd trimester, since the main processes of organ formation are almost complete, so a short course of this drug will not be able to have such a strong negative effect as to disrupt the development of the fetus.
The action of lysobact is based on its ability to destroy the cell walls of pathogenic microorganisms, as a result of which they lose the ability to further reproduce and function in general.
Lizobact during pregnancy in the 2nd trimester is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens - bacteria, as well as viruses and fungi. In addition, lysozyme has a local anti-inflammatory effect and increases the immune defenses in the mouth and throat.
This medicine is used in dental and otolaryngological practice, since the main active ingredient is able to protect the mucous membrane, thereby combating aphthous lesions, gingivitis, pharyngitis and many other diseases.
Lizobact during pregnancy in the 3rd trimester
Pyridoxine, which is one of the main components of this drug, has the ability to quickly penetrate the bloodstream and spread throughout the body with the blood flow. As a result, it accumulates in muscle tissue, liver, structures of the central nervous system and other organs.
In addition, it can penetrate the placental barrier and accumulate in breast milk. Thus, lysobact is not recommended for use during pregnancy in the 3rd trimester, especially before childbirth.
However, if a throat disease develops that requires medication, only in this case is it permissible to take Lizobact. In general, this drug has no contraindications, in particular, pregnancy and lactation. The only nuance is the presence of an allergic reaction of a woman to any of the components of the drug.
Lizobact during pregnancy in the 3rd trimester is recommended in the presence of infectious and inflammatory pathology of the oral mucosa and throat. Among such conditions, it is worth highlighting: sore throat, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, aphthous and herpetic stomatitis, as well as gingivitis and erosive lesions of the mucosa.
Lizobact tablets during pregnancy
Throughout pregnancy, not all women manage to get sick with ARVI or tonsillitis, which would be accompanied by a sore throat. Lizobact tablets are allowed for use during pregnancy, especially in the second trimester, when the formation of organs is complete.
The active substance of lysobact is an antiseptic, so the drug is used to destroy pathogenic microorganisms that caused the development of the disease.
Lizobact tablets during pregnancy are effective for diseases of the oral cavity and throat, as they simultaneously fight the infectious agent and have an anti-inflammatory effect.
Lizobact is permitted for use only if the pregnant woman does not have an allergic reaction to the main active substance or auxiliary components.
Allergies during pregnancy can have a negative impact on the fetus, as its clinical manifestations include rash, swelling and redness of the skin, as well as more serious complications, such as swelling of the larynx, shortness of breath and respiratory failure. As a result, the fetus may experience hypoxia, which negatively affects its development.
Reviews of Lizobact during pregnancy
A medicinal product based on lysozyme and pyridoxine is widely used to treat pathological conditions that are accompanied by cough or erosion of the oral mucosa.
The main advantage of Lizobact is that it is approved for use by pregnant women. Reviews of Lizobact during pregnancy are mostly positive.
You should not expect a quick effect from this drug, but literally after a few days the intensity of clinical manifestations will be much less.
The reduction of symptoms is based on the antiseptic action of lysobact, as well as the anti-inflammatory effect. Thanks to this combination, stomatitis, gingivitis, pharyngitis and many other diseases are cured completely, leaving no residual effects.
Reviews of lysobact during pregnancy of a negative nature are also encountered, but very rarely. They mainly concern the development of an allergic reaction to lysobact or the lack of effect.
Of course, this does not take into account the duration of treatment and dosage of the drug. To achieve the desired result, you must follow the doctor's instructions and follow his instructions.
In general, Lizobact is a recommended drug during pregnancy, which has a destructive effect on infectious agents, an anti-inflammatory effect on the mucous membrane, but does not have a damaging effect on the fetus and the general condition of the pregnant woman.
