Terzhinan during pregnancy is almost one of the most commonly used in obstetric practice and approved drugs to date. For a pregnant mother is characterized by the presence of immunodeficiency. Exposure to infection with various infectious diseases is great. And many of them can already be in the body of the mother, but do not manifest themselves until the appearance of slack with health. Some problems are associated with the microflora of the vagina, it can be both candidiasis and gardnerellez. It is important to find out these problems in time and start actively fighting them.
Indication for the use of terzhinan in pregnancy
Apply an agent to treat many diseases. Naturally, they are all related to the microflora of the vagina. So, it can be applied with nonspecific recurrent vaginitis. This state is characterized by a constant change in the "composition" of the microflora. Simply put, it indicates the presence of an inflammatory process. This can be caused even by an infection that has got into the bladder. The drug actively fights against bacterial vaginosis, as well as vaginitis Trichomonas etiology.
The medicine perfectly copes with vaginitis of mixed etiology. Especially if the problem was caused by anaerobic flora, and also by the presence of yeast-like fungi. The drug can be used to prevent purulent-inflammatory complications before surgical interventions in the pelvic area. The spectrum of action of the drug is really wide. Its effectiveness has been repeatedly confirmed. Most importantly, it is absolutely safe.
Form of issue
Terzhinan is produced exclusively in the form of vaginal tablets. In one such suppository there are enough useful components that are ways to have a positive effect on the woman's body and relieve her from inflammation. Thus, one suppository contains 200 mg of ternidazole. This component is the main one. As auxiliary substances is neomycin sulfate in the amount of 100 mg and prednisolone sodium metasulfobenzoate 3 mg. But that's not all, it also contains excipients. In its composition is the oil of geranium and cloves. These components have an anti-inflammatory effect.
In one package there are 6 or 10 candles, depending on the manufacturer. Buying terzhinan during pregnancy you need to build on your own needs. Usually the duration of treatment is 7-10 days. Therefore, preference is given to packing number 10.

Pharmacodynamics
Terjinan is a combined preparation for topical application. It is widely used to eliminate gynecological problems. It has an active antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory effect. It contains powerful components that help to achieve a positive effect.
Ternidazole. This is an antifungal drug that belongs to the group of imidazole derivatives. Neomycin sulfate is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It belongs to the group of aminoglycosides. Nystatin is also an antibiotic, but antifungal. It belongs to the group of polyenes. Prednisolone is a dihydrated analog of hydrocortisone. All these components together have an incredible effect on the body and allow you to cope with many problems. Each component is responsible for its function, thereby allowing the virus and infection to be squeezed out.
Pharmacokinetics
Ternidazole. This is an antifungal drug that belongs to the group of imidazole derivatives. It is able to inhibit the synthesis of enzymes of the constituent part of the cell membrane. All this leads to the accumulation of the active component inside the wall of the fungi, thereby disrupting its structure and leading to complete destruction.
Helps in this action Neomycite sulfate. It has bactericidal action against gram-positive microorganisms. Its mechanism of action is the effect on the ribosomes, as well as the active inhibition of protein synthesis of the cell. Resistance to microorganisms develops slowly.
Nystatin is highly active against yeast-like fungi. It is able to contact the cell membrane of the fungus and thereby violate its permeability. Thus, the growth of negative cells slows down. As for Prednisolone, it in turn suppresses the function of leukocytes. Thus, he restricts their migration to the affected area. In addition, the substance is able to inhibit the activity of phospholipase A2. This ultimately leads to suppression of the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
Dosing and Administration
The tablet is applied overnight by injecting it deep into the vagina. One day it is enough to use one suppository. The agent must be administered before bedtime. It is convenient from the point of view of the fact that the woman will not actively move and thus will allow the tablet to absorb. After the introduction, it is recommended to lie down for 10-15 minutes without movement. The duration of treatment with terzhinan during pregnancy is 10 days.
If the future mother suffers candidal vaginitis, then the therapy can be increased to 20 days. If menstruation has begun (such cases occur during pregnancy), it is necessary to continue therapy with the drug. Before the introduction, the product should be held in water for 30 seconds, so it dries well.
There are no specific recommendations regarding the application. It's enough just to follow the instructions. Individual treatment regimen can appoint a doctor, in which case it is worth sticking to his recommendations.
The use of terzhinan in the first trimester of pregnancy
The drug can be used even in the first trimester of pregnancy. Despite the fact that it contains antibiotics, it can not have a negative effect on the developing fetus. The fact is that the tablet beyond the vagina does not go anywhere. It is not absorbed into the blood and does not enter the body in any way. Therefore, there are no contraindications. If a woman has pathologies of fetal development or individual characteristics, it is worth consulting with a doctor. In any case, it is not recommended to use terjinane alone during pregnancy.
The first trimester has always been the most dangerous. During this period it is recommended to abandon any means. But you can not leave the inflammatory process without attention either. Because infection of the uterus can lead to infection of the fetus. In the end, the termination of pregnancy is not ruled out. Therefore, treatment should be done with caution.
Application of terzhinan in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy
The second trimester of pregnancy is not as dangerous as the first and third. There are no special restrictions on the use of these or other drugs. Naturally, antibiotics are banned. Despite their content in the composition of Terzhinan, it is actively used. The fact is that this medicine is absolutely safe for both mother and child. It does not penetrate into the body at all, therefore it is not able to be absorbed into the blood and even more so to get into the mother's milk.
Dosage during this period is no different from the standard treatment regimen. If a woman has discomfort, the dose can be prescribed individually or the treatment period is significantly reduced. When using any medicine, you need to consider the positive effect for the mother with possible negative effects on the baby's body.
Naturally, leaving an untouched problem is also not worth it. It can give a lot of negative complications, including infection of the baby and the risk of abortion.
The use of terzhinan in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy
In the third trimester, you should always take extra care. The fact is that when approaching the time of delivery, it is not necessary to give the body additional loads. This applies not only to taking medication, but also physical, as well as emotional overstrain.
In general, a suppository of this type can be used during any period of pregnancy. True, special caution must be manifested for the first time and the last months. Antibiotics and other serious medications are not recommended. Despite the rich content, including groups of antibiotics, Terzhinan is used even in the last months of pregnancy. It is not capable to harm to an organism to mother and the child. Therefore, fears are superfluous. But, despite this use the drug alone is highly not recommended. Always need to adhere to the individual scheme of use and in case of discomfort, seek medical help from a doctor.
Suppositories terzhinan during pregnancy
Sometimes the joyful moments of future motherhood can be overshadowed by going to the doctor. This not only spoils the mood, but can also harm the body. So, the young mother is subject to the negative influence of many microorganisms, bacteria and infections. Her body is in a state of stress. Therefore, any harmful "inhabitants" are able to penetrate the body and cause inflammation in it.
Most often, the problems of the genital area are pestering, namely candidiasis, vaginitis and vaginosis. In this case, treatment should be immediate, because there is a risk of infection of the child not only during the pregnancy itself, but also childbirth. It is known that thrush is capable of harming the sight of the baby.
In order to eliminate unpleasant diseases, it is enough to resort to the help of Terginan suppositories. Yes, they contain antibiotics in their composition, but they do not harm the baby. Further the vagina suppository does not pass anywhere and is not even absorbed by blood. Therefore, there should be no experience. The medicine is written out absolutely to all. Exceptions are those girls who suffer from hypersensitivity to certain components of the drug. The remedy is absolutely safe, for both the mother and the child. Despite this, it should be used only on special recommendations.
Can Terjinan be used during pregnancy?
The main aspect in the treatment of the drug is its use in the form of candles. This is a combined agent that has a mass of positive properties. So, it performs antifungal action, and also acts as an antibacterial antibiotic and manifests itself as an antiseptic. That is why this drug is in great demand.
This product is released in the form of tablets for vaginal use. The action of the medicine is based on its rich composition. Yes, it contains an antibiotic, but due to its non-toxicity, Terzhinan can be used even during pregnancy. Perhaps, this is its main feature. In addition, the drug is widely used in breastfeeding. But this does not mean that it can be used randomly. Everything is done according to the clear testimony of a specialist. To date, this tool is one of the few that having such a rich composition does not harm the baby at all.
Contraindications for use
In general, terzhinan during pregnancy has no contraindications. Because its action does not go beyond the mucous membrane of the vagina. All components included in its composition are not absorbed into the blood and do not penetrate the body. Therefore, it simply can not negatively affect the fetus.
Despite this, there are contraindications. The fact is that women can have a banal allergy to the components that make up the drug. The drug is rich in antibiotics, however, their dosage is negligible. But this may be enough to develop a persistent allergic reaction. Therefore, people with hypersensitivity from him should refuse.
If a woman does not suffer from allergic reactions, she can safely use the medicine. However, after consulting a specialist. Because how to take into account the individual characteristics of each organism is simply necessary.
[2]
Side effects
In some cases, after the administration of the drug, a woman may feel discomfort. It consists of a slight burning or irritation. In this case, it is advisable to consult a specialist and stop taking suppositories. Most likely, the woman is too sensitive mucous membrane or there is an allergic reaction to any component of the drug. Do not take risks, you need to know all about this state in detail.
The side effects of terzhinana during pregnancy are usually manifested in the form of local reactions and do not go beyond them. To feel discomfort it is possible for the first time minutes after introduction of a candle. After a while, nothing shows up. This can be caused by both allergic reactions and improper insertion of the candle itself. Some women suffer from increased vulnerability of the vagina. If with time pain decreases, stop treatment is not worth it. Usually the inflammatory process subsides after several applications of the drug.
Yellow discharge after terzhinan during pregnancy
Many women start to scare the appearance of excreta. It is worthwhile to understand, because of what they appear. So, in most cases they do not carry any danger. The matter is that the suppository has some features. When it enters the vagina, it begins to dissolve. The mucous membrane as if absorbs the necessary components. But she does not need everything. Therefore, the residues of the suppository can gradually go out the next day after the injection. This is a completely normal process. It is observed both with the use of vaginal suppositories and rectal suppositories.
The principle of the suppository is one. The mucous membrane absorbs the necessary components, everything else safely flows out. Therefore, many women are recommended to use daily pads during the period of using candles. There are no other reasons why yellow discharge can be observed. If there are any doubts, it is still necessary to consult a gynecologist.
Overdose
Cases of overdose were not observed. The fact that the drug is not able to be absorbed into the blood, so its increased concentration in the body is simply impossible. If a woman will take the drug in a higher dosage, then the maximum that will occur, this will worsen the general condition. Perhaps both elimination of all symptoms, and the deterioration of the manifestations of the disease. In this case, you need to remove the suppository from the vagina and seek help from a specialist.
Overdose is possible if the product has penetrated the body. For some reason the woman could just swallow the medicine. In this case, you should immediately rinse the stomach. After all, the components of terzhinan can cause severe poisoning and harm the baby. Because immediately after oral administration, it is possible to penetrate the drug through the placenta to the baby. You do not even have to try to cope with the problem yourself. It is necessary to do the washing and wait for the ambulance. Treatment is symptomatic.
Interactions with other drugs
No specific features of terzhinan interaction with other drugs were identified. Despite this, it is not necessary to use the medicine together with other medications. After all, we are talking about a pregnant girl. In this case, it is generally recommended to abandon any drugs. Especially to combine them the more it is impossible.
In some cases, with a more advanced form of thrush and other inflammatory processes, several drugs are prescribed simultaneously. Such a decision can be made only by the attending physician who leads a woman's pregnancy. After all, despite the complete safety of some of the funds, they should still be used with caution. In any case, even a small risk of harm is always preserved. The organism of every pregnant girl is so individual that you can expect everyone.
In no case can not be diagnosed by comparing your own symptoms with the same symptoms described on the site or heard from a friend. The gynecologist should diagnose and prescribe the treatment.
Storage conditions
Usually, the suppository is stored in the refrigerator. The fact is that due to their composition and streamlined shell, they are able to quickly melt. Therefore, finding them at room temperature will lead to spoilage. Naturally, they should not be influenced by direct sunlight. As the instruction says, the terzhinan can be stored at a temperature of 25 degrees. But still, the refrigerator is the optimal condition. Before use, the tablet is cut off, waiting for 5-10 minutes and once it warms up, you can apply it.
If the house has children, it is better to hide the drug away. After all, to the touch, he can remind the baby candy, and even the unpleasant smell will not scare him. Therefore, in order to avoid poisoning, it is necessary to find the optimal storage space. It can be a dark place, without direct sunlight and an acceptable temperature. Such conditions will save the life of the drug. If the package is damaged or opened, it is not recommended to use the suppository.
Shelf life
The shelf life of the terzhinan is 3 years. For a given period, it must be stored under certain conditions. It is recommended to place the suppository in the refrigerator, even though the optimum storage temperature can be 25 degrees Celsius. It is desirable to still send them to the refrigerator. This will not allow them to melt and deteriorate.
At the end of the expiry date, the use of the product is prohibited. Especially pregnant mother. Do not feel sorry for the medicine, it is better to get rid of it. During the whole period of storage it is worth paying attention to the appearance of the package. There should be no visible damage and punctures on it. Otherwise, terzhinan during pregnancy can not be used. Most likely, it has lost its basic pharmacological properties and will not bring any benefit.
Observance of storage conditions is the guarantor of long service of a preparation. If the product has melted, it must also be discarded. Exposure to frost and use is not recommended.
Analogues
When choosing a quality treatment, many moms pay attention not only to the effectiveness of the drug, but also to its safety. To date, there are many medications that can help in the fight against inflammatory processes. Thus, Terjinan and Pimafucin are widely used . Because of this, many mothers are wondering what is best and what is worth using.
A lot has been said about Terzhinan's useful properties. It is completely safe, does not harm the mother and child. In addition, it is effective and its only contraindication is hypersensitivity to its main components. But what about Pimafucil?
Many moms praise Pimafucin. Indeed, the drug is able to get rid of inflammatory processes. And more often than not enough 6 days to completely heal. In some cases, relief comes after 10 days. But, he does not always help. The medicine has a weaker composition and, in connection with this, it is not always easy to fight infection, especially if the woman has had it for a long time. Therefore, the undoubted leader is Trejinan, and side effects of this drug occur, much less often.
Terjinan or polyginacs during pregnancy?
As part of Terzhinan contains neomycin, this antibiotic can overcome many bacteria and infections. Helps him in this Nystatin and Prednisolone. Thanks to the combined activities, the effect is simply stunning. Most importantly, the remedy can be used even during pregnancy. The chances of harming the baby are negligible. If you follow all the recommendations, then the treatment will not only be effective, but also safe. The main feature of the drug is the removal of unpleasant symptoms in a short space. It is enough to use one candle to feel considerable relief. It is important to bring the treatment to the end and not stop, even if the discomfort is gone. There is always a risk of chronic course.
As for Polizinaks, here everything is somewhat different. Yes, the drug also fights inflammatory processes and destroys all unfavorable microorganisms. But it is stronger, so there is a risk of harm to the baby. It contains three antibiotics. Unlike Terzhinan, Polizhinaks is not able to simultaneously remove several infections. For example, if they have a different form of education. Therefore, eliminating only bacteriological inflammation, there is a risk of aggravating the course of the infectious disease. In this matter, Terzhinan is the most effective. Therefore, the preference is most often given to him.
Macmirror or terzhinan during pregnancy?
There are no significant differences between these preparations. So, they contain in their composition nystatin, which helps to fight many types of infections and bacteria. Some gynecologists believe that McMiore is much safer than Terzhinan. Perhaps it is. But Terzhinan is not particularly toxic and is not capable of harming the developing organism. Definitely to say that it is better difficult.
McMirror has the same testimony as Terzhinan. He actively struggles with thrush, and also eliminates the inflammatory processes that were caused by the presence of fungi, bacteria and trichomonads. It can not be used when hypersensitivity to some of its components. The composition of the drug is Nifuratel and Nystatin. In combination, they are able to expand the antimicrobial effect. Components of the drug are not absorbed through the blood and do not penetrate the body. They are used for 7-10 days. The principle of use as in Terzhinan. Which of these drugs to choose is decided by the attending physician. Most often prefer Terzhinan, because of its effectiveness.
Reviews
According to the majority of doctors, Terzinan is the safest and most effective remedy for controlling genital tract infections in pregnant women. It is prescribed in almost 95% of cases. The reason is that the agent is not capable of harming the developing organism.
Regarding Terzhinan's application, there are both positive and negative reviews. Naturally, good descriptions predominate. The fact that this drug, despite the content of antibiotics in its composition, is able not only to help a woman cope with the problem, but also to protect her baby. Terzhinan does not cause side effects and can be used in any trimester of pregnancy.
Despite all its positive aspects, there are also negative reviews. Without this, it is simply impossible. The organism of each woman is individual, especially during pregnancy. Therefore, even the slightest presence of sensitivity to certain components of the drug can lead to the occurrence of side reactions. Naturally, this will negatively affect the opinion of the facility. Some women have too tender a mucous membrane of a vagina, therefore use of any preparations leads to discomfort.
To build your own choice on the basis of feedback alone is by no means possible. It is necessary to consult with a doctor and on the basis of the characteristics of the body to choose an effective treatment.
