Analgin, as a rule, is used for various types of pain, and many doctors consider it absolutely safe. However, this is not the case. It has a huge number of contraindications and side effects. Every woman knows that absolutely any medications during pregnancy are undesirable.
Can analgin be pregnant?
Almost all gynecologists answer this question in the negative. Analgin is contraindicated during pregnancy, as well as during the period of feeding the baby. Its purpose is allowed in extremely rare cases and in a small dosage. Pregnant women take painkillers during pregnancy alone without the advice of a doctor are strictly prohibited. The thing is that the components of this pain medication during pregnancy pass through the placenta quite easily, getting to the baby.
Recent studies suggest that even a single dose of analgin negatively affects the hematopoietic system, and also this drug is potentially dangerous for the kidneys, taking it can cause anaphylactic shock. When it is said about taking the drug by pregnant women, the fetus is in the same risk group. Therefore, all side effects and risks associated with taking it concern both the mother and the child.
The process of absorption of dipyrone occurs in the gastrointestinal tract. Then it enters the bloodstream, and from there into the liver and tissues, where it is decomposed and excreted in the urine. Analgin has the ability to penetrate well through the placenta and stand out with breast milk. In addition, the group of drugs to which analgin belongs, with systematic use, causes the appearance of edema. There is an opinion that prolonged use of the drug Analgin during pregnancy , causes changes in the cardiovascular system of the fetus. However, there is no exact confirmation of this information, since it is impossible to find out reliably whether pathologies are directly caused by taking analgin.
In what cases can I take analgin during pregnancy?
In fact, analgin does not have mutagenic (changes in heredity) and teratogenic (birth defects) effects on the fetus. Its use is allowed in the 2nd trimester (from 13 to 24 weeks), exclusively as prescribed by the doctor for toothache or headache, hepatic colic, pain in joints and muscles, against the background of light frostbites and burns.
Contraindications of taking the drug analgin during pregnancy:
1. The first twelve weeks of pregnancy (I trimester), since at this time there is an active laying of the internal organs of the child and absolutely any, even safe drug, can disrupt the whole process. In the period from 12 to 24 weeks, the laying and formation of the internal organs of the fetus ends, and the placenta protects the baby's body from toxic substances entering it. Therefore, according to the testimony of the attending physician, taking dipyrone in small doses is allowed.
2. The last 6 weeks of pregnancy. During this period of pregnancy, taking analgin can affect the formation of platelets in the blood. And since platelets are responsible for the normal coagulation of blood, their lack can cause bleeding during childbirth. In addition, taking analgin affects the number of leukocytes produced (responsible for immunity) and prostaglandins (responsible for the contractile function of the uterus). This can cause a weak labor activity, as well as the development of infectious and inflammatory diseases in the body of a woman.
3. Violation of the liver or kidney function in a pregnant woman , low blood pressure, blood diseases, as well as individual intolerance to the components of dipyrone.
Remember that analgin does not cure, but only temporarily relieves pain and reduces fever. This is what he is good at. However, both pain and fever are symptoms of a particular disease. And it is impossible to delay treatment with its help, especially at such a crucial moment.
