Special instructions for pregnant women
Many women are interested in whether it is possible to use Polygynax during pregnancy. Experts are still looking for an answer to this question. The instructions indicate that this tool is not prohibited during pregnancy. And when the second and third trimester of pregnancy comes, such suppositories can be used only as prescribed by the doctor. And the doctor prescribes this drug to women in the second or third trimester only if its benefit exceeds its assumed risks.
It is not recommended to use the product during the lactation period. But if, nevertheless, Polygynax is prescribed during breastfeeding, the child needs to be given artificial nutrition while using the drug. The use of suppositories often worries women in the second and third trimester, since the instruction claims that this drug is not safe. This is an antibiotic potent drug. And when the doctor prescribes Polygynax during pregnancy in the 3rd trimester, this means that the estimated risk will be low.
Features of use
Normally, these candles are not prescribed to women at the onset of the second and third trimester, but before childbirth. This applies to those women who are at risk of developing abnormal infections. At the onset of the second and third trimester, Polygynax is prescribed if there is a history of ectopic pregnancy, a missed pregnancy, or frequent inflammatory diseases. Also, such candles are used in cases where a girl began to lead a sexual life very early.
It is necessary to enter the capsule no more than once a day upon the onset of the second and third trimester. As reviews can show, at week 23, the use of candles for six days is effective.
Reviews about Polygynax during pregnancy
Candles are often used to treat thrush. It should be noted that the reviews of most patients confirm that Polygynax is a very effective and powerful remedy for candidiasis, which can eliminate all unpleasant symptoms, as well as prevent further infection. Many women prefer this particular drug, since they are satisfied with the “price-quality” ratio, the product has high productivity at a reasonable price.
But there are also reviews about the occurrence of side effects, but such situations are extremely rare and they are caused by a number of predisposing factors. So in this case, there is such a thing as “individual effectiveness”, when some women “approached” these candles, while others revealed their absolute futility.
Nevertheless, Polygynax does have a good effect during pregnancy. According to numerous reviews of women, it can be understood that this remedy did not affect the health of their baby. But it should be reminded of the need to consult with a doctor about the use of this drug during pregnancy.
