The appropriateness of taking medications during pregnancy often causes doubts in the expectant mother. If the doctor prescribed an antibiotic, then this issue requires particularly careful study, since the health and even the life of the baby is at stake. On the other hand, a weakened immunity of a pregnant woman is simply not able to cope with infectious diseases. This can cause various complications.
Quite often, doctors prescribe the drug "Vilprafen Solutab" during pregnancy. This medicine has proven its effectiveness and versatility.
Features of the medication
The drug "Vilprafen Solutab" during pregnancy should be prescribed only by a doctor strictly according to indications. This antibiotic has been known for a long time, and for all this time it has proved its effectiveness in the fight against bacteria, including intracellular.
In addition, the drug is able to successfully cope with those strains that over time have acquired resistance to other antibacterial agents.
The composition of the drug and the form of release
The drug is available in the form of syrup and tablets. The syrup contains 300 mg of josamycin. The volume of the bottle is 100 ml. The kit contains a measuring cup. The tablets are coated. In the blister - 10 pieces. They contain in their composition such substances as:
- josamycin - 500 mg;
- microcrystalline cellulose;
- hyprolose;
- sodium docusate;
- magnesium stearate;
- strawberry flavoring;
- aspartame;
- silicon dioxide colloidal.
Instructions for use must be attached to the drug. This is a very good antibacterial agent that is part of the macrolide group. It has a bacteriostatic effect on the body. If a sufficiently high concentration of the drug is noted in the area of inflammation, then it has a pronounced bactericidal effect.
Medication
Often the drug "Vilprafen Solutab" during pregnancy is prescribed for the treatment of infectious diseases, the causative agents of which are pathogens that are sensitive to josamycin. This medicine is considered universal, since among the main indications for use, it is necessary to highlight such diseases as:
- chlamydia
- ureaplasmosis;
- gonorrhea;
- syphilis;
- mycoplasmosis;
- diseases of the ENT organs;
- ophthalmic pathology.
Chlamydia is transmitted sexually. Its danger lies in a hidden course. For pregnant women, this infection is dangerous because there is a chance of miscarriage, gestosis, fetal abnormalities, polyhydramnios. In women infected with chlamydia, the risk of losing a baby in utero or immediately after birth increases significantly.
During pregnancy, ureaplasmosis is quite common. It is transmitted sexually and by contact. However, a small number of microorganisms that provoke this disease, usually does not require treatment. Nevertheless, during pregnancy, against the background of a decrease in immunity, increased reproduction of ureaplasma is observed. Despite the fact that a direct connection has not been established, there are such consequences of infection as polyhydramnios, miscarriage, inadequate nutrition of the fetus, oxygen starvation.
Mycoplasmosis is transmitted primarily through sexual contact, but the likelihood of domestic infection is not ruled out. It is very dangerous in that it can provoke a fading pregnancy, premature delivery, pathology of the placenta.
Among diseases of ENT organs, it is necessary to distinguish such as:
- bronchitis;
- tonsillitis;
- sinusitis;
- laryngitis;
- pharyngitis;
- whooping cough;
- otitis.
However, other, safer drugs that are allowed during pregnancy are often prescribed. Also, the drug is recommended for other infectious diseases of the organs of vision and skin.
Trachoma is an eye disease that is transmitted through direct contact through common objects. Both organs of vision are mainly affected at once. This is a sluggish pathology, and in the absence of proper and timely treatment, it can lead to blindness.
Lymphogranuloma is sexually transmitted. The disease manifests itself in the form of redness and the formation of papules in the genital area. Also among the symptoms you need to highlight fever, an increase in lymph nodes. Pathology is treatable and after it a stable immunity is formed.
In combination with Vilprafen Solutab, vitamins are often prescribed during pregnancy to strengthen and restore the body after taking antibacterial drugs. For this, medications containing lactobacilli are also prescribed. This is very important, since when conducting antibiotic therapy, the intestinal microflora is most affected.
Despite the fact that the drug helps to strengthen the immune system, reinfection with sexually transmitted diseases is still possible. Immune cells are not produced against infections that are transmitted through sexual contact. Therefore, the treatment of such diseases should be carried out immediately by both partners.
The drug "Vilprafen Solutab" is especially suitable for women who have a violation of the swallowing reflex, as well as suffering from severe toxicosis during pregnancy. It has a pleasant strawberry flavor and is easily soluble in the oral cavity.
Feasibility of taking and effect of the drug
Assign "Vilprafen Solutab" 1000 during pregnancy, mainly when chlamydia is detected. Other infections are treated with this drug only by decision of the doctor after a comprehensive diagnosis. The medicine is very convenient in that the tablet does not need to be washed down, since it itself dissolves in the oral cavity after a while. It can also be pre-diluted in water.
Clinical studies have not confirmed the direct effect of the drug on the fetus. Nevertheless, it must be remembered that josamycin can penetrate the placental barrier, so this effect cannot be ruled out.
Features of the appointment of the drug largely depend on the duration of pregnancy. This medicine is prescribed to a woman during the period of bearing a child only in the absence of a safer method of treatment.
"Vilprafen Solutab" during pregnancy in the first trimester is not recommended to be taken in the early stages (up to the 10th week). To treat serious infections that need to be urgently dealt with, it is recommended to use azithromycin preparations. Therapy of mycoplasmosis and ureaplasmosis is mainly postponed to a later period, until the 14th week.
In the 2nd trimester, Vilprafen Solutab during pregnancy is prescribed with less concern for the consequences of therapy. However, it is absolutely safe to take the medicine only after 22 weeks. During this period, all organs and systems of the fetus are already formed. The drug "Vilprafen Solutab" during pregnancy in the 2nd trimester can be taken only after consultation with the treating doctor.
At a later date, the drug is less likely to affect the bearing of the child or the development of abnormalities in the fetus. That is why "Vilprafen Solutab" during pregnancy in the 3rd trimester can be taken with virtually no fear, but under the supervision of a doctor.
This medicine is antimicrobial and antibacterial. It is considered the least toxic, so the effect on the body will be minimal. "Vilprafen Solutab" acts quickly, effectively, but it does not kill intestinal lactobacilli and does not harm the digestive organs, like many other antibiotics.
The medicine fights infections inside the body’s cells. The more the drug is located near the affected particles, the more effective the destruction of pathogens will be. In addition, it helps prevent the development of inflammatory processes and protects the immune system from subsequent exposure to viruses.
"Vilprafen Solutab" during pregnancy is taken orally and appears in the blood after about an hour. The drug passes through the placenta. In addition, during breastfeeding, it tends to penetrate into milk.
Dosage and rules of administration
According to the instructions to "Vilprafen Solutab", during pregnancy it must be taken if an urogenital infection has been detected, since it is very dangerous when carrying a child. Doctors recommend starting this drug from the second trimester, when the formation of vital organs has completed in the fetus. However, if the infection was detected earlier, then the medicine is prescribed from the 10th week of pregnancy, but always under the supervision of a doctor.
If the doctor prescribed “Vilprafen Solutab”, then you should not delay with his admission, since it is possible to infect a child while passing it through the birth canal, which can result in very sad consequences.
Basically, 1 tablet per day is prescribed in between meals. The duration of the course of therapy for chlamydial infection is 10-14 days, and for ureaplasmosis - 7-10 days. For treatment to be effective, you can not interrupt treatment or violate the rules for taking the drug. It is strictly forbidden to prescribe a medicine for yourself.
Contraindications and side effects
Among the main contraindications to the use of the drug, it is necessary to highlight such diseases and characteristics of the body as:
- individual intolerance to individual components;
- hypersensitivity to macrolides;
- dangerous pathologies of the kidneys and liver.
"Vilprafen Solutab" 1000 during pregnancy receives good reviews, as it rarely causes side effects. However, the instructions for use say that they can still be. These include:
- nausea, loss of appetite, heartburn;

Implications for the fetus
"Vilprafen Solutab" 1000 during pregnancy in the 3rd trimester, like any other medicine, can be taken only if there are serious indications. The use of tablets in the first trimester significantly increases the risk of abnormalities in the fetus, since during this period all organs and systems are actively formed. With caution, you must use the medication for treatment in the second trimester. This should only be done according to the indications and under the strict supervision of a doctor.
Self-medication is strictly prohibited, even if you have previously successfully used this drug before pregnancy. An improperly selected dosage of the drug has a toxic effect on the body of the expectant mother, and the active components of the drug pass through the placenta into the fetus, thereby increasing the risk of negative consequences. As a result of this, the child may have a malfunction of the internal organs. The drug treatment regimen is selected strictly individually, depending on the indications and the presence of complications.
Interaction with other drugs
The drug "Vilprafen Solutab" refers to bacteriostatic agents, and it can not be taken with similar drugs, as this reduces their effectiveness. Macrolides slow down the elimination of xanthines from the body, which can lead to serious intoxication of the body.
It is not recommended to use the drug in conjunction with antihistamines, since there is a likelihood of arrhythmia. You can not combine "Vilprafen Solutab" with "Cyclosporine", since when interacting with josamycin, the toxicity of the latter increases significantly.
Gynecologists recommendations
The opinions of gynecologists regarding the administration of drugs during pregnancy, especially those that belong to the macrolide group, are somewhat divided. Some prescribe a large number of different drugs, while others, on the contrary, try to avoid prescribing medications.
Pregnant women should be especially careful when taking absolutely all drugs, even vitamins, therefore it is strictly forbidden to conduct self-medication.
Analogues of the drug
The analogues of the drug, which are cheaper, include Erythromycin and Clarithromycin. You can also use antibacterial drugs such as "Spiramycin", "Azithromycin", "Wilferon", "Roxeptin", "Amoxiclav."
All analogues must be selected by the attending doctor in accordance with the available indications and contraindications. Self-medication can seriously harm a woman and a child.
