Viburcol suppositories in early and late pregnancy

Homeopathic treatment, which many people consider more safe due to the small number of contraindications and side effects, is becoming more and more popular among pregnant women. After all, during this period, full of anxiety for the life of a baby growing inside her, a woman becomes particularly acutely aware of the value of her health. Taking care of yourself and your baby makes future mothers choose useful foods and safe medicines. Doctors understand this and, along with pharmacy products, offer homeopathic remedies that help to keep pregnancy and women's health safe for the child. So, the drug "Viburkol" during pregnancy will help stabilize the tone of the uterus and prevent miscarriage, relieve the pain during childbirth and relieve stress. And this does not end the useful properties of the drug.

Indications of the viburkola in pregnancy

Some readers, especially popes or grandfathers, may be somewhat surprised at the recommendation to use Viburkol during pregnancy, because they are familiar with this drug as an effective baby medicine that the doctor could prescribe during a fever associated with the appearance of baby teeth in children and grandchildren or during acute Respiratory infections caused by various viruses. Yes, "Viburkol" is a rather popular drug in pediatrics, which does not prevent it from being useful for adults, especially expectant mothers.

But if the drug is useful for children, if necessary:

• to bring down the temperature and ease the pain when the first teeth appear,
• relieve symptoms of acute respiratory viral infection, rubella, chicken pox, sore throat and help the child's body to cope faster with the disease,
• reduce symptoms of dyspeptic phenomena, such as increased gas formation or flatulence,
• to stop inflammation in the region of the ear-throat-nose,

Then adult women seeking to give birth to a healthy child, it is even more useful.

Among the indications for the use of a homeopathic remedy can be seen:

• (and future mothers are generally restless, especially on the eve of labor or when there are any suspicious symptoms in the form of pulling pains in the lower abdomen, etc.)
• diseases of the genitourinary system of inflammatory nature (if during pregnancy, treatment can not be postponed, then you need to choose at least the safest, and justified the choice of the drug "Viburkol"),
• acute infectious diseases of the gynecological plan (adnexitis, salpingitis, oophoritis, etc.) as part of complex therapy,
• catarrhal diseases that occur against the background of high fever (for relief of symptoms),
• the threat of miscarriage on the background of increased uterine tone,
• reduction in the severity of spasmodic pain during labor, simplification of labor.

I must say that during pregnancy, the suppository "Viburkol" from the tone of the uterus can be prescribed at different times:

• on early appointment is associated with the threat of termination of pregnancy, n
• and late - with the preparation for childbirth (to facilitate the birth process and reduce pain syndrome).

For information, the drug "Viburkol" has found wide application in gynecology for violations of the menstrual cycle and painful periods (dysmenorrhea). And the elderly this drug helps to cope with an intoxication syndrome caused by various serious functional disorders in the body, which in old age is more than enough. Less often the drug is used to treat convulsive syndrome.

Release form

People are accustomed to consider as homeopathic remedies medications manufactured in the form of small white granules of round shape, and do not even think that such preparations can have other forms of release. So the drug "Viburkol", used in obstetric practice during pregnancy to prevent dangerous complications, is produced by a German manufacturer in the form of rectal suppositories.

Suppositories have a shape resembling a torpedo, with a slightly pointed end on one side and a funnel-shaped depression on the other. The color of the suppositories is white or pale yellow, and the smell is very weak, not irritating. The surface of rectal suppositories is smooth, which makes it easy to insert them into the rectum. The package contains 12 suppositories, packed in blisters of 6 pieces.

"Viburkol" is a multicomponent drug. According to the instructions, each suppository contains 1.1 mg of chamomile, belladonna, nightshade and psyllium, 2.2 mg of lumbago and 4.4 mg of calcium carbonium. The drug is rather concentrated. A high dilution is found only in the last component (D8), the remaining components have a dilution of 1 to 4.

Some concerns may be caused by the presence of belladonna in the formulation, which is considered a very poisonous plant. However, the content of belladonna (belladonna) in the preparation is so minimal that it provides only a mild sedative and spasmolytic effect without exposing toxic effects to rectal administration.

On the basis of belladonna there is one more preparation - "Krasava Extract", which is also produced in the form of rectal suppositories and finds its application on the last stages of pregnancy.

If you choose between these two drugs, the suppository "Viburkol" during pregnancy doctors prescribe more readily than suppositories with bellies, where the content of the latter is much higher. "Viburkol" contains the extract of belladonna in the amount of 1.1 mg with dilution of D2, i.e. The ratio of the bellane extract and alcohol is 1: 100. At the same time, the suppository with bellies contain 15 mg of extract at a ratio of active substance to alcohol of 1:10. So is it worth to be afraid of using suppositories "Viburkol", even if "Krakow Extract" with a significantly higher content of a poisonous substance is allowed to be used during pregnancy?

Pharmacodynamics

Suppositories "Viburkol" is one of the few drugs that doctors safely prescribe during pregnancy, because what action the drug takes, it will prove useful to a future mother if she has health problems or sudden spasm brought the uterus into tone, which is fraught with a breakdown pregnancy.

A special formulation formula provides a comprehensive impact on the body of a child or an adult. "Viburkolu" is credited with several very important actions:

• antipyretic,
• anti-inflammatory,
• sedative,
• analgesic (analgesic),
• antispasmodic,
• anticonvulsant.

The first four actions substantiate its use in the treatment of infectious and inflammatory pathologies of the respiratory and urogenital system. The second, third and fourth are irreplaceable with increased tone of the uterus and preparation for childbirth. And the latter makes it possible to prescribe a homeopathic remedy with a convulsive syndrome, which is caused by violations of the peripheral circulation.

Taking the drug with fever helps to gently and gradually normalize the temperature, which distinguishes Vibrukol from antipyretic drugs and NSAIDs. An important feature of multicomponent suppositories is that it does not interfere with the physiological processes occurring in different organs, but only increases their efficiency or in a simple way. The activation of phagocytosis is noted, the rate of excretion of toxins from the body is increased, the synthesis of the natural immunostimulant, interferon, is more active.

Since all the components of the drug act in a complex, then at the output we get a general strengthening effect. The main goal of the drug is to increase immunity. And if the protective functions at altitude, then the body will be able to cope with the disease itself.

Pharmacokinetics

Rectal suppositories "Viburkol" - a natural preparation on a plant basis. And this means that its action will be more gentle and careful in relation to such important organs responsible for metabolism and excretion of the drug, like the liver and kidneys. It can even be said that a herbal medicine with its own effects will not only not harm vital organs, but also help them to recover if their work has been disturbed due to the disease. And the body itself will restore the damaged physiological functions.

This is the basis for the action of all homeopathic remedies. Their goal is not simply the removal of symptoms, but the healing of the body, which gives a more weighty and lasting result.

Getting into the body through the large intestine, the drug is gradually absorbed into the blood, providing both local and systemic action. However, the composition and concentration of the active substances is such that they do not cause an intoxication of the organism, as in the case of preparations based on chemical substances. This is a very important feature when it comes to treating a woman who is the keeper of a new life, because in this case one can be sure that the problem will be solved, but neither the pregnant woman nor the fetus in her womb will suffer.

Use of the viburkola in pregnancy during pregnancy

"Viburkol" is a preparation in which only natural components can be found in doses safe for life and health of women and children, which means that there are no prohibitions on using it in pregnancy. This is noted in the instructions to the drug. The drug, safe for the child from its very birth, simply can not hurt anyone. No wonder he is so actively offered midwives to women at different stages of pregnancy.

It is clear that, like any other homeopathic medicine or pharmacy, "Viburkol" may not suit everyone due to its rich composition. It is possible that the future mother may have an allergy to any of the components, which she did not even think about. Doctors, however, always clarify this question and can, if necessary, advise an equivalent replacement of the drug if it causes reactions of intolerance. Without consulting a doctor, the expectant mother should not take more than one medication.

When can a gynecologist appoint a suppository "Viburkol" to a pregnant woman? "Viburkol" during pregnancy in the early period is usually prescribed if a woman complains of pain and cramps in the abdomen. This sign may indicate a threat of premature termination of pregnancy.

When there is a threat of termination of pregnancy in the early stages due to the lack of progesterone in the body and the resulting muscle spasm of the uterus, the suppository "Viburkol" is prescribed simultaneously with the "Lutein" tablets. The first remove the sudden appearance of the tone of the uterus, the second - introduce into the body an analog of progesterone, which will reduce the contractility and excitability of the muscular layer of the uterus, to prevent further spasms.

Because of its safety for a pregnant woman and fetus, the drug can be prescribed if a future mother has one of the inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system or an acute sexual infection. It can be a pyelonephritis, which is diagnosed in a large part of pregnant women due to kidney overload, or adnexitis (inflammation of the appendages).

A useful drug will be and in the event that the young mother did not save herself and she was knocked down with a cold, accompanied by chills and fever.

At pregnancy on late terms "Viburkol" appoint at preparation for sorts. It helps to suppress unnecessary excitement, relieves stress and pain on the eve of labor, thereby facilitating the appearance of the baby and warning of various complications that accompany prolonged painful childbirth.

As for the reviews about the product of expectant mothers, they are mostly positive. Women thank the doctors who assigned them such an effective drug that helped to save the pregnancy when there was a threat of interruption.

There are, of course, and negative feedback associated with possible allergic reactions, but there's nothing to be done. Such a side effect is in almost all medicines, even those that offer alternative medicine and homeopathy.

Some women claim that Viburkol did not help them, but this can not be ruled out, yet each organism is individual. But on the other hand, perhaps the whole problem is in the incorrectly chosen dosage, which also needs to be individual.

With regard to reviews of mental disorders with long-term use of the drug, immediately raises the question of what duration of treatment is involved (the recommended course of treatment is not more than 2 weeks)? And why such disorders are not observed in young children? Apparently, when there are incomprehensible symptoms, it is necessary to understand in each particular case what exactly happened and why.

Rectal suppositories "Viburkol" are intended for introduction into the rectum. Another application for them in the instructions is not described, which means the question of where to insert the suppository "Viburkol" during pregnancy is incorrect. Moreover, vaginal tablets and suppositories during this period are used extremely rarely, so as not to harm the fetus.

With regard to safe and effective dosage, then the increased tonus of the uterus of the obstetrician suggests that pregnant women be injected into the rectum through the anus 1 suppository 2 times a day. If the risk of pregnancy disruption is small or in question, it is sufficient to use 1 suppository at night.

If it seems to someone that this dosage is unsafe, for comparison we will say that newborn babies per day can be administered from 1 to 1.5 suppositories (the suppository is divided into 4 parts and administered 1 part 4 to 6 times a day). Children aged 1-6 months with acute respiratory pathologies that occur at elevated temperatures are indicated by the administration of 2 suppositories per day (i.e., 1 suppository 2 times a day, as with the threat of miscarriage).

Older children and adults may be prescribed 4 to 6 suppositories per day, which is 2-3 times the dose for pregnant women. Mothers hardly need to worry about prescribed treatment, which is safe even for newborns. And the doctor prescribes the duration of treatment based on the patient's condition, so there is nothing to worry about either.

And now a little about how to correctly apply the suppository during pregnancy. The suppository should be injected deep into the rectum, pushing it forward with a finger (sterile gloves are required). Do it better in the position on the side. If the woman does not cope, the medical staff or relatives should help her.

After the suppository is introduced, it is recommended to lie down in the same position for at least 10 minutes, so that it can not slip back, if it is thawed. Having spread out under the influence of heat, the medicine begins to be absorbed into the blood already in the lower parts of the small intestine, which excludes its cleavage under the influence of digestive enzymes, as happens in oral administration.

Side effects of the viburkola in pregnancy

Since the suppository "Viburkol" is often prescribed during pregnancy, there is already enough information about the side effects of the drug. Like any homeopathic remedy, Viburkol has very few of them.

The instruction reports on possible allergic reactions, which occur quite rarely as a manifestation of intolerance to various components of the drug. Some women complain of burning and itching at the injection site, which only indicates an increased sensitivity of the skin in the anus area, while others talk about more severe allergic manifestations related directly to the intolerance of individual constituents of suppositories. In the latter case, an urgent withdrawal of the drug and the administration of antihistamines are required.

By the way, hypersensitivity to the composition of the drug or its individual components is the only contraindication to the use of this completely safe means.

There are also complaints from pregnant women that after the introduction of the suppository they have a feeling similar to urge to defecate. This is not surprising, if before entering the suppository, the intestine was not cleared. Still, as an auxiliary substance (and this is the bulk, especially when it comes to homeopathic preparations containing a tenth to a millionth or more of the active substance), solid fat is used, which will envelop the particles of the stool and act as a laxative.

If the intestine was previously cleaned, as it should be done, there is a false urge to defecate, most likely due to improper insertion of suppositories (for example, a 10-minute interval was not maintained so that the suppository completely melted. "Viburkol" is an antispasmodic, which means it can have an effect on the sphincter of the rectum.

Overdose

Practice shows that when prescribing the drug "Viburkol" during pregnancy, doctors and their patients should not worry about such a phenomenon as an overdose. If a six-month-old child does not get sick from 4-6 suppositories a day, then from 1-2 suppositories such an unpleasant phenomenon in a pregnant woman is unlikely, which is confirmed by the information from the instruction to the drug.

Usually, the use of homeopathic medicines in the first stage may be accompanied by exacerbation of the symptoms of the disease. About any unpleasant symptoms or worsening of the condition, the future mother must tell the treating doctor, and he will decide how dangerous it is and whether or not to continue therapy with this medication.

Interactions with other drugs

As for the interaction with other drugs, and here "Viburkol" is quite safe and "friendly". It does not have a negative effect on other homeopathic and pharmaceutical products, which means that it can be successfully applied as part of complex therapy simultaneously with NSAIDs, hormonal drugs, analgesics and antibacterial agents.

[9], [10]

Storage conditions

It is not difficult to store the drug. In the clause on the conditions of storage of rectal suppositories, it is said that a temperature of no higher than 25 degrees is considered normal to preserve their integrity and properties. Store the suppository is recommended in the original packaging, taking them out of the blister only as needed. It is necessary to protect the drug from direct sunlight, which can simply melt the suppository, even at low ambient temperatures.

Shelf life

Shelf life of rectal suppositories "Viburkol" is 3 years, which means that a woman will be able to use them not only during pregnancy for herself, but also later for the treatment of her baby, without worrying about the fact that the drug will quickly become unusable. Still, the price of this effective and relatively safe homeopathic remedy used in the treatment of adults and children is quite high.
