Nurofen during pregnancy

Any woman from the very first moment, likeonly learns about his pregnancy, immediately decides to start a new way of life, change his attitude to himself, making him more gentle and trembling. More rest, less exhausting work, a healthy diet, a good mood, and most importantly - no medications. She does not need any medication - from them the child will not do anything good!

However, life usually disposes of it differently. And the headache does not ask whether to come to her or not. And here the head hurts, sometimes it is impossible to suffer it, and at work at all the flu, which, it seems, begins with her.

And a headache, and a fever -signs of ARVI, which is not only undesirable, but also dangerous for the unborn child. Therefore, doctors sometimes prescribe the drug Nurofen - during pregnancy, it can quickly and knock down the temperature, and the headache to calm.

Future mothers often ask if they canTake Nurofen during pregnancy. There is no unequivocal answer to it. After all, this medicine is both painkiller, and anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic.

In general, to drink Nurofen during pregnancy, inprinciple, is not prohibited. The question is: in what way can this be fraught. Why, in the annotation to this drug, it is indicated that during the fetal gestation it can be taken only in those cases when it will bring more benefit to the mother than complications for the child.

Nurofen increases the likelihood of pregnancydeviations in the development of genital organs in a male child. However, for girls treatment with this drug is undesirable. And this applies to the first six months of pregnancy, because further, from the seventh month of his pregnancy can not be taken under any pretext. Doctors explain their categoricality by the fact that Nurofen may well cause premature contractile activity of the uterus of a pregnant woman, as a result of which there may be a threat of miscarriage or childbirth may begin earlier than the due time.

Interesting is the fact that during the period of breastfeeding the child from Nurofen refuses flatly. It turns out a strange paradox: in the case of a newborn child, it can not be accepted, and in the case of an unborn baby, there are options ...

And yet, let every woman who reads a list of possible complications decides if she should take risks and take Nurofen during pregnancy, even if the doctor appointed him:

• increased pressure, developing tachycardia;
• heart failure;
• dizziness, trouble sleeping;
• cystitis, nephritis, kidney failure;
• excessive excitement or drowsiness;
• disorganization of the digestive organs, bloating, discomfort in the mucous membrane of the mouth;
• rashes, allergies, rhinitis.

Although the pharmaceutical companies that produce thisdrug, they assure that all these side effects can arise only if you drink Nurofen long enough, but, as they say, God cares. It seems that for any pregnant woman who has become quite skeptical about drugs as a result of her physiological condition, this list will be more than enough.

Sometimes some doctors risk and prescribe, but notadult, and children's Nurofen, at pregnancy though also rather weak for the adult person, but as much as possible safe. The instructions say that this suspension with orange or strawberry taste can be taken even by a three-month-old child.

This drug is also available in the form ofGel, which helps with muscle pain in the back, arthritis, stretching and neuralgia. They say that a very effective ointment that helps with the above symptoms.

However, Nurofen-gel during pregnancy is again appointed with great care.
