Is it possible to use a new generation antibiotic in pregnancy? This article will try to answer this question.
Infection of the ways that lead out of the body urine, at a time when a woman is carrying her baby is not a rare phenomenon, you can even say - everyday. After all, during this period there are significant changes in the body of the future mother, affecting not only her reproductive system, this transformation involves all the organs and systems of a woman, including a bladder with a pathway. Due to the increase in the level of the hormone progesterone (the enzyme of pregnancy), there is a relaxation of smooth muscles, the activity of muscle contractions decreases. This factor also provokes stagnant phenomena in the urine, weakening protection and opening up free access to infections.
Indications for use of the monoral during pregnancy
As it was stated earlier, during pregnancy, women are prescribed drugs of chemical origin only in case of obvious necessity.
Indications for use of the monoral during pregnancy:
- Acute form of cystitis caused by infection. The pathology is burdened with repeated relapses.
- Acute form of pyelonephritis caused by infection. The pathology is burdened with repeated relapses.
- Bacterial nonspecific urethritis.
- Asymptomatic bacteriuria. Pathology, passing without obvious symptoms and diagnosed only during the passage of pregnant laboratory studies.
- Preventive administration of the drug before or after surgery associated with the urinary system.
- Transurethral diagnostic tests.
Form of issue
Monural is attributed to the pharmacological group of antibiotics. The form of the preparation is determined by granules, which are dissolved in water before use and in the form of a solution taken internally. Packages of two and three grams are produced. White granules are produced. The drug is represented by two flavors: orange and mandarin.
Dosing and Administration
Once again it is worth noting that when appointing any medication, including Monural, during the period of gestation by a child of a child, it is necessary to compare the real need for immediate treatment with the ability of the drug, which has not yet been fully studied, to influence the development of the fetus, the immediate course of pregnancy and childbirth.
Before taking the drug, it is necessary to empty the bladder. Pouch of Monural is diluted in 1/3 cup of water. Drinking this compound is necessary once a day, preferably at night. In this case, a therapeutic dose of the drug is created and maximum sterility of urine is achieved. In the overwhelming majority of cases, in order to remove the problem, one reception is enough. Only in case of emergency (with exacerbations, acute or recurrent infections), repeated administration of the drug is allowed. It is possible in the same dosages, 24 hours after the first.
If a woman has a history of kidney failure, the dosage of the drug should be reduced and, if necessary, repeated admission, increase the gap between them.
Is it possible to have a monastic during pregnancy?
Any woman knows that during pregnancy it is desirable to avoid taking any medications, especially for strong drugs. But the infection must be treated. Is it possible to have a monastic during pregnancy? This drug appeared on pharmacy counters not so long ago, but already managed to show its high effectiveness in the fight against infectious diseases of the genitourinary tract. But the future mother is more concerned about "his strength", because enough one pill to destroy all the bacterial flora, located in the urinary tract. But on the other hand, a one-time reception of Monural is much more acceptable than taking a course of other antibiotics. At the same time, physicians and pharmacists confidently assert that the new generation of the drug Monural does not carry any danger either for the course of the pregnancy itself or for the development of the embryo. There are results of clinical studies that confirm that the drug does not have toxic effects on the fetus. Therefore, due to its positive qualities, this drug is actively prescribed during pregnancy.
But still you should not flatter yourself. Monural - it's still a drug of chemical origin and apply it only if you have a substantial need.
Instructions for the monitory in pregnancy
The modern innovative preparation, which belongs to the antibiotics of a wide range of lesions, appeared not so long ago in the pharmaceutical market, it has already proved its high effectiveness in influencing most strains of bacteria affecting the human urogenital system. Privilege application of this drug consists in the combination of its excellent pathogenic flora, damaging properties, low toxic effects on the patient's body, which does not cause a pronounced side effect. The fact that to receive a therapeutic effect is enough to take the drug once (repeated use of Monural is relatively rare), which excludes long-term exposure of chemical compounds to the patient's body. This is especially valuable in case the treatment is required for a woman who at this time is carrying her child, although the instruction for the monural during pregnancy sounds ambiguous.
It says that the drug is harmless to the health of the mother, does not affect the development of the fetus, the risk of pathological changes on the physical and psychological level is completely excluded. At the same time, there is also such information that during pregnancy it is necessary to apply this medication with caution, only if the real benefit of the treatment exceeds the danger for her unborn baby. Does this phrase imply that the risk of pathology still exists? It is alarming and causes some mistrust and the fact that the drug is prohibited for prescription during the period of the newborn's breast-feeding. Does not include Monural and the list of drugs that are prohibited or allowed for use during pregnancy. There is no information on it. That is, there is no real research on the influence of Monural on the course of pregnancy and the immediate impact on the embryo.
If the urinary tract of a woman has been infected, it is necessary to treat them unequivocally. In the light of the "interesting position of a woman", the use of this drug is more preferable. After all, in order to get the expected effect, one dosage of Monural (one package) is enough, while other antibiotics presume the use of the course.
It should also be noted that in the international list of drugs this drug is called - Fosfomycin (Fosfomycin), produced by the joint Italian-Swiss company Zambon Group SPA. In our country, doctors appoint him by the name Monural.
Application of the monoral during pregnancy
During pregnancy, infection of the urinary system of a woman is a fairly common phenomenon. After all, from the moment of conception, the body of a woman undergoes significant changes, while it is unfortunate that immunosuppression (suppression of the immune system) begins in most cases. At what, it is not a lack of nature, but a wise decision. After all, a fertilized cell, and subsequently an embryo and a fetus, can, primarily, be perceived by the female system of protection as a foreign body, encroaching on the normal functioning of the body. A similar reaction can also be on the part of the fetus. To avoid such a conflict, from the moment of conception, the woman's immunity is reduced.
But at the same time, the weakening of the body's defenses leads to an increase in morbidity, allowing infection and other various pathogenic flora to "occupy" the systems and organs of women. The use of the monural in pregnancy is justified with an infectious lesion of the urinary system of a woman. The only, important condition for his appointment should be a clear advantage for the health of a future mother with an insignificant risk to the fetus.
