Pinosol during pregnancy

Pinosol during pregnancy is often used by pregnant women, because they consider this drug harmless because of the composition. But there are some features of the use of this drug, especially during pregnancy. This is due to some elements of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of the drug, so before using it during pregnancy, you need to take into account all the nuances. To resolve the issue of treatment with this drug, you must also take into account the individual characteristics of the future mother.

Indications for the use of pinosol during pregnancy

Pinosol due to pronounced anti-edematous, antiseptic, vasoconstrictive action and herbal composition can be used during pregnancy without harm to the fetus. The drug is indicated for the treatment of acute rhinitis, acute pharyngotracheitis with phenomena of rhinorrhea, chronic atrophic rhinitis, and also after surgical interventions for the purpose of sanation of the nasal cavity and prevention of infectious lesions.

Pharmacodynamic features of the preparation

The form of release of the drug is an ointment and a spray for the nose. Thanks to this form, you can use the drug as a local remedy. Pinosol is a drug used to treat the common cold. The composition of the drug includes essential oils of pine and peppermint, as well as vitamin E, which provide the basic features of the action. The mechanism of action of the drug is the property of essential oils to stimulate vasoconstriction in the nasal cavity. Due to this, the secretion of mucus by glands decreases and the discharge from the nose decreases. The edema of the mucous membrane also decreases, which improves breathing. The drug has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic action, which contributes to a faster recovery. The vitamin E component softens the irritated mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and promotes the regeneration of the epithelium, which has a beneficial effect in conditions of nasal breathing.

The method of application and dosage of pinosol during pregnancy depends to some extent on the severity of clinical symptoms. The most acceptable form of reception during pregnancy is the use of nasal spray, which is convenient and effective. It is recommended to drip one or two drops in each nostril in an acute period with a pronounced rhinorrhea at intervals of every hour and no less, then the next day you need to reduce the dose and use drops no more than four times a day. How much can you drip pinosol during pregnancy? The course of treatment should not exceed seven days, as further, as with the use of other vasoconstrictor drugs for the nose, the sensitivity of receptors decreases and the habituation with the reverse effect develops. Therefore, the most optimal treatment option is three to five days, and it can be up to seven, but not more.

The pharmacokinetic properties of pinosol have not been studied, but the drug has a local effect without absorption into the systemic circulation. It has no effect on the fetal blood circulation directly, so it can be used in pregnancy.

Basic principles of application of pinosol during pregnancy

It is very important to study all possible variants of the influence of this remedy on the organism of the future mother and on the organism of the child before using any medication during pregnancy. After all, pregnancy is such a period in the life of every woman, when one more life develops in her body and at this time one should be very careful about taking any pharmacological preparations. The process of organogenesis begins in the first trimester, and then the growth and differentiation of tissues continues, which also requires increased attention to taking any medications. Fetus is an agent alien to the body of a woman, in fact 50% of the information it contains from the pope. The immune system of a woman perceives it as an antibody to some extent, therefore, until the formation of its placenta with an individual barrier and blood flow, a state of relative immunosuppression develops. This especially applies to the first trimester of pregnancy, when there is still no placenta, as an individual protective mechanism and the fetus is very vulnerable. Such a state of a pregnant woman helps to change all the reactions of the female body, which before could be normal. That is, pharmacological transformation reactions of drugs also occur in a different way, which in this way can significantly affect the child. There may be unexpected allergic reactions to medications that were not previously available. With this and the specific features of the use of pinosol during pregnancy.

Is it possible to take pinosol during pregnancy and will it not harm the baby? This question is asked by every woman before taking medication. But it is necessary to take into account some features, before accurately affirming. The composition of pinosol is such that its components can not harm the child, since they do not have a teratogenic effect. The main components of pinosol are essential oils of pine and peppermint, as well as a small amount of vitamin E and other additional elements. All these substances of plant nature, so it is pinosol in most cases, doctors recommend for the treatment of a common cold in pregnancy. But it is very important to take into account the issue of anamnestic data. After all, if a pregnant woman has bronchial asthma or other allergic skin diseases, the risk of hypersensitivity to this drug increases. Therefore, you need to clearly monitor the condition of the woman during the drug. The harm of pinosol during pregnancy can be detected only if it does not correspond with the dose of reception or hypersensitivity. At the same time, the condition of a woman may worsen, but this condition does not affect the fetus and there is no serious threat to the child. Therefore, speaking of the use of pinosol during pregnancy, it should be noted that due to the plant composition of the drug, it can be taken during pregnancy at any time, but with the doctor's recommendations on the dose and treatment conditions.

Pinosol during pregnancy in the first, second and third trimester can be taken, but you need to consider that in the third trimester there may be complications in the form of allergies to the drug. This probability is higher precisely at this time, since there may be manifestations of late gestosis in the form of allergy pregnant.

In any case, when talking about the harm or benefit of the drug during pregnancy, it is necessary to know that any medication is a potential threat to the child and there must be some indication for its use. Therefore, the question of using pinosol during pregnancy in any case should be decided by the doctor on an individual basis.

Side effects of the drug may manifest in the form of allergic reactions with local manifestations of burning, itching, increasing the amount of discharge from the nose, as well as eye hyperemia, edema of the nasal cavity and allergic skin changes around the nasal cavity. One should be cautious in case of using the drug in women with bronchial asthma or other allergic diseases.
