Dosage of no-shp during pregnancy
But-shpa is available in the form of tablets, capsules and a solution for infusions. The basis of the drug is the active substance - drotaverine hydrochloride. The auxiliary elements include corn starch, lactose, povidone, talc, magnesium sterate. All this must be taken into account if there is an intolerance to one of the components.
But-spa pregnant is indicated in the following situations:
- spasm of smooth muscles;
- decreased uterine tone;
- Conditions that require weakening of contractions.
The necessary quantity of medicinal substance, as well as the form for reception, is appointed by the doctor individually. As a rule, to reduce hypertension at the beginning of the period, one to two tablets are recommended to be taken two to three times a day (80-240 mg). Intramuscular dosage of no-shpy during pregnancy can be 40-240 mg / day.
The use of the drug before childbirth helps to reduce pain, normalizes the contractile activity of the musculature of the uterus, shortens the period of labor and reduces the risk of injury. Although European experts consider the reception of no-shpa in childbirth as vestiges of the old school, and in a number of countries they even forbade the taking of the medication at any time of bearing the fetus.
Whether it is possible no-shpu at pregnancy?
The basis of no-shpa is drotaverin - an active substance with a pronounced antispasmodic property. Drotaverin affects all the smooth muscle structures of the body (GIT, genitourinary and circulatory system, bile ducts). The drug causes vasodilation, which increases the blood flow to the organs. During the day, the medicine is processed in the liver and removed from the body.
Whether it is possible no-shpu at pregnancy? Like any other medicine, but-spawning is used according to the medical prescription, after a preliminary examination. The main indication for taking the drug is the increased tone of the uterus in the early stages of fetal development.
In general, it is necessary to understand in more detail the concept of hypertonia. If you feel something in the form of a stab at a sharp turn or when you try to get up quickly, you should not worry. The state of nervous tension, unjustified haste, fatigue often increase the uterine tone, coming to normal after relaxation. The pains of the aching, pulling constant character accompanied by bloody discharge testify to the presence of problems. Such cases allow the use of the drug. It should be remembered that no-shpa in pregnancy is used only at the beginning of the term, if there is a threat of miscarriage.
The drug in addition to reducing the tone of the musculature and dilated blood vessels, relaxing acts on the cervix, provoking its opening. Therefore, the reception of no-shpa at a later date is not recommended.
But-spa on early pregnancy
The onset of pregnancy is accompanied by abrupt changes in the body, hormonal reorganization and increased emotionality. All these factors can affect the uterine tone, so do not worry about the appearance of short-term discomfort in the abdomen.
Many doctors advise you to wear no-shpu with you and take the pill when you have painful sensations. It is best to first consult a gynecologist, and then drink a medicine. Some doctors are reinsured, appointing a no-shpu for toning off for no apparent reason. Naturally, if the uterine tension does not decrease, soreness grows, vaginal discharge appears - these are alarming symptoms and the indication will be no-shpa in the early stages of pregnancy to preserve the fetus.
As for the other cases and the possibility of self-administration, it is better to first turn to the gynecologist, who, if necessary, will appoint competent treatment.
Is it naughty when pregnant?
But-spa is a medicine that has its contra-indications and side effects. Drotaverin - the basis of the drug - is capable of causing allergic reactions, is not recommended for use in diseases of the heart, kidneys, liver, as well as persons with low blood pressure. But-shpa often aggravates toxicosis, leads to loss of appetite, constipation, weakness and increased heart rate. It is forbidden to use spasmolytic during labor activity because of the increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage.
Any future mother is disturbed by the thought: "Is it harmful for nonsense during pregnancy?" In clinical trials, physicians did not detect the harmful effects of no-shpa on the development of the fetus. However, in a number of countries (in the US, England and Germany) for several years, experts do not practice taking drugs pregnant. The experience of foreign gynecologists indicates the relationship between the reception of no-shpy during pregnancy and the slowing of speech activity in the baby afterwards.
Other data indicate that no-shpa normalizes the fetal heart activity. Women with tachycardia of the fetus were injected intramuscularly and the pathology passed.
Hungarian scientists conducted a medical study, watching the thirty thousand pregnant women taking no-shp in the second and third trimester. In addition to the therapeutic effect, doctors did not detect any cases of pathology in infants after birth.
In any case, the no-shpe should be treated with caution and drink it strictly according to the medical prescription.
