That is why the use of natural remedies has priority, including the use of sea-buckthorn.

Sea-buckthorn candles during pregnancy are widely used in different clinical cases due to a wide spectrum of action and minimal impact on the condition of the mother and fetus.

Pharmacological features of sea-buckthorn candles

Pharmacodynamics of the drug is associated with its rich natural composition. Suppositories have a pronounced membrane-stabilizing effect, as well as an antimicrobial, antifungal and reparative effect. The drug has a local effect, and also due to absorption in the veins also has systemic manifestations.

Pharmacokinetic properties are associated with topical application and are characterized by a pronounced local effect in the first 30 minutes of use. This effect can last up to 6 hours, and then the drug reduces effectiveness due to absorption and partial elimination. The drug is absorbed into the systemic bloodstream and is metabolized in part in the liver, and from there its metabolites can enter the gastrointestinal tract.

Contraindications to the use of sea-buckthorn candles during pregnancy are the presence of infected wounds of the genital organs and rectum, as well as acute inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs. With hypersensitivity to sea-buckthorn or in pollinosis on sea-buckthorn pollen, this preparation is also contraindicated. Given the absorption of the drug and its systemic effect, it is contraindicated to use it enterally, and with caution should be applied topically to patients with acute and chronic cholecystitis, pancreatitis.

Side-effects of sea - buckthorn suppositories during pregnancy are possible skin allergic reactions in persons compromised, as well as local manifestations in the form of itching, burning in the area of setting a candle. This effect can only be on the first application, but if the side effect persists in the future, then the reception must be stopped.

The method of application and dose of sea-buckthorn suppositories during pregnancy are common, since no proven harmful effect has been identified. Suppositories are produced in a dose of 500 milligrams. Apply in a dosage of 1 gram per day in 2 divided doses - morning and evening. Before putting the suppository, you must defecate and conduct hygiene procedures. The horizontal position for a long time after applying the suppository contributes to a better effect, so it is better to put an evening candle on at night, and after a morning's to lie down a little. The duration of treatment, as a rule, is from seven to ten days - the period when the content of the drug allows you to show the maximum long-term effect.

Overdosing is not a frequent phenomenon and can be accompanied by local manifestations in the form of increased burning, itching, redness of the perineal region, impaired urination, discomfort in the rectum. The expressed systemic signs of an overdose have not been found out because of a minimum absorption of a preparation.

Interactions with other preparations of sea - buckthorn suppositories are possible only with simultaneous application of two different candles, which can reduce the effectiveness of both. Systemic effects on the absorption or mechanism of action of other oral preparations of the suppository do not.

The main features of the application in different states

The most common pretext for using sea buckthorn candles in pregnant women is constipation. This is due to physiological changes on the part of the gastrointestinal tract in the form of intestinal atony and violation of its motor function under the influence of progesterone - the hormone of pregnancy. Therefore, in pregnant women, this problem is very common. In addition to systemic treatment with drugs to improve intestinal motility, it is necessary to designate local remedies. Sea-buckthorn suppositories because of the presence of a large number of fatty acids have a laxative effect, but in addition, a pronounced regenerating effect also plays an important role in the healing process. Therefore, of all local drugs for the treatment of constipation during pregnancy, the sea-buckthorn suppository is the drug of choice. Apply the suppository twice a day in the morning and in the evening. To do this, after a daily toilet, put the candle in the rectum and lie about ten minutes in a horizontal position for better resorption of the substance.

Also, in view of frequent intestinal problems, and also as a single problem, there may be a development of vaginal candidiasis. This condition is characterized by a decrease in local immunity due to a deficit in normal flora and reproduction of opportunistic fungi. Given the pronounced antimicrobial and antifungal action of sea-buckthorn, it is possible to widely use these suppositories and to treat thrush in pregnant women. The use of suppositories is not difficult: after the toilet of the genitals, lying on your back, you need to insert a candle into the vagina and lie down for a while in this position. The procedure must be repeated in the morning and evening.

Is it possible to have a sea-buckthorn suppository during pregnancy?

The question of the use of any drug during pregnancy is always widely debated, because, given the benefits and therapeutic effect of the drug, it is also necessary to consider the effect on the fetus. Therefore, herbal preparations are widely used in the correction of metabolic and functional disorders of the pregnant woman's body.

Sea-buckthorn is a natural treasure of minerals and beneficial microelements, which contributes to its multifaceted effect.

The fruits of this plant contain a lot of vitamins of group A, E, C and B. Given that the woman's body has a relative vitamin deficiency, such a number of them in sea-buckthorn will contribute not only to replenishing their deficiency, but also to normalizing the metabolism of other nutrients. After all, vitamins not only directly participate in the metabolism, but they can also regulate the work of other enzyme systems in the cell as coenzymes.

Also buckthorn in its composition contains trace elements - iron, copper, magnesium, molybdenum. These trace elements do not so often enter our body as it is necessary, so an additional source of these substances will only be a plus. A huge number of biologically active substances, such as phytoncides, flavonoids, pectins, tannins, as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids - all this contributes not only to local metabolic processes in the cell, but also stimulates the metabolism of the whole organism. Phytoncides are natural antibacterial factors that inhibit the multiplication of many microorganisms. Flavonoids and tannins have an antioxidant effect, which prevents the development of oncology in the future.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids can be included in the metabolism of the cell and help inhibit the processes of inflammation by inhibiting certain genes and enzyme systems.

Therefore, taking into account all the benefits of the composition of sea-buckthorn, it can be stated with confidence that the sea-buckthorn suppository during pregnancy can be used in the presence of specific indications.

Given the rich composition of sea-buckthorn, the main activities that this substance shows:

• anti-inflammatory and regenerating effect - due to the content of natural anti-inflammatory substances;
• antibacterial and antifungal effect - due to the presence of phytoncides - natural antibacterial structures;
• anesthetic effect - taking into account the reduction of local irritation;
• emollient effect - the presence of fatty acids;
• spasmolytic effect - relaxation of muscle spasm due to palmitic acid;
• antioxidant effect - prevents peroxide oxidation of lipids.

Due to such properties, the effect of the use of sea-buckthorn is more pronounced when applied locally, so a pharmacological form is used in the form of candles. The main indications for the use of sea-buckthorn candles are their use in gynecology and proctology:

• inflammatory diseases of external and internal genital organs - endocervicitis, exocervicitis, colpitis, cervical erosion, cervical dysplasia, pseudo-erosion;
• pathology of the rectum - hemorrhoids, rectal fissure, damage to the skin of the anus.

This is the main indication for the use of sea-buckthorn candles in this form, but also the sea buckthorn oil itself is also applied enterally. You can also make sea buckthorn tampons at home. To do this, you need to dissolve 20 milliliters of sea buckthorn oil in 500 milliliters of water and let stand, after which you can dip gauze tampons or do enemas. But, given the state of pregnancy and the possible increased allergization of the pregnant woman's body, it is better to buy ready-made peeled sea buckthorn candles.

Shelf life and storage conditions

The drug is suitable for two years in case of proper storage and use. Must be protected from children. It is necessary to store such a suppository at a temperature below 15 degrees, as they easily melt and away from a heat source and direct sunlight.

Sea-buckthorn suppository during pregnancy due to its rich natural composition and lack of influence on the fetus is widely used in gynecological practice. They are used for local inflammatory diseases of internal genital organs and rectum, as well as during pregnancy with the development of vaginal candidiasis. Also, the drug has a wide application for the treatment of functional constipation. Therefore, do not be afraid of such "natural sources" of health.
