Pregnant women always pay much attention to their health. This is no coincidence. As you know, many seemingly completely harmless diseases that seem at first glance can be extremely dangerous both for the pregnant woman herself and for her baby. Most of the modern drugs used to get rid of pain of various origins, fever, runny nose, etc., are contraindicated for expectant mothers. However, no one is safe from migraines or colds, even during the “expectation of a miracle”. Medicines that have no contraindications during pregnancy can be counted on the fingers. One of them is the drug "Panadol", which is prescribed during pregnancy by a strictly attending physician.
This medicine is available in the form of tablets and is used to get rid of the main symptoms of colds and to treat moderate migraines, headaches and toothaches, back and muscle pains. The main active component of the drug is the metabolite of phenacitin - paracetamol. Tablets have an antipyretic effect and have a mild anti-inflammatory effect.
The drug "Panadol" during pregnancy should be taken with great care, like other drugs, and not more than four tablets per day. The dose of medication necessary for recovery is usually selected by the attending physician. The substances entering the blood of a pregnant woman are quickly transmitted to the fetus. For this reason, you should refrain from taking any medications. With prolonged treatment with the drug, the chemicals included in its composition can most negatively affect the intrauterine development of the fetus. Although to date, there have never been any visible pathologies in children born to women who took the Panadol medication during pregnancy. Drug abuse in early pregnancy can lead to a miscarriage. Treatment of expectant mothers with drugs, which include analgin and aspirin, is strictly prohibited.
Currently, among many expectant mothers, it is widely believed that the drug "Baby Panadol" during pregnancy completely safe. This opinion is completely untrue. If we compare the composition of conventional and children's medicines, we will see the difference only in the dose of the active substance contained in them. Reducing the dose of paracetamol reduces the effectiveness of the drug, but, as in the case of the Panadol medication for adults, it poses a direct threat to the development and health of the unborn baby.
This drug has its contraindications. These include: kidney and liver disease, hypersensitivity to the main component of the drug. In case of an overdose, the following symptoms may occur: nausea, pallor of the skin, vomiting, acute renal failure. If the permissible dose of the drug is exceeded ten times, the patient falls into a coma. In the absence of the necessary measures to prevent further poisoning, a fatal outcome often occurs. Talking about an overdose of the drug during pregnancy is inappropriate. This threatens a miscarriage and serious consequences for a woman’s health. Subject to the dose indicated by the specialist, the Panadol preparation during pregnancy is completely safe for the health of the mother and baby.
The close connection that arose between the mother and the child before his birth is not destroyed even with the birth of the baby. In the first months of life, the baby receives all the trace elements necessary for the full development of his body with the mother's milk. The composition of a woman’s milk is affected by the foods she uses. A child’s dose will be received by a child with almost any drug that gets into her body. The drug "Panadol" when breastfeeding is also used only as directed by a doctor. In general, in parallel with pregnancy planning, immunity should be strengthened. Strong immunity is the key to the birth of a healthy and beautiful baby!
