During lactation, a woman's care for her health extends to the child. It happens that during feeding the mother has a sore throat. After all, lactation can weaken its immunity, and this affects the susceptibility of the body to infections. In this regard, it is necessary to take medications with caution, taking into account the characteristics of a particular drug. Many women are wondering if Faringosept can be used for lactation. The article will discuss the composition of the drug, the features of its use, benefits and contraindications.
Features of taking the drug during lactation
The period of breastfeeding is a crucial time for a woman. During these months, she protects the baby from the aggressive environment, for which he is not yet ready.
Unpleasant sensations in the mouth and throat can indicate the onset of various pathologies. Therefore, with visible symptoms of the disease for a woman, it is important to start treatment on time. In this case, you should definitely consult a specialist.
The main indication for taking "Faringosept" with lactation is a sore throat. Thanks to the main component of the drug - ambazon - it is well tolerated and acts locally.
In this regard, it is not contraindicated for nursing mothers, because the percentage of transmission of the drug to the body of the baby is very small.
Inflammation in the throat is not a reason to stop breastfeeding. Among the contraindications of the drug, the period of lactation and pregnancy is not indicated. But it is recommended to take it only as directed by a doctor.
"Faringosept" - a drug that is used as a prophylaxis and for the treatment of infections of the mouth and larynx. Experts treat him positively and are often prescribed to women during breastfeeding.
The drug is able to combat pathogens such as streptococci, pneumococci and staphylococci. According to research, "Faringosept" also has particular effectiveness against pathogenic yeast Candida.
The composition and principle of action of the drug
Before you find out whether "Faringosept" is permitted for lactation, it is necessary to determine what the composition of the drug is.
The main component of the drug is ambazon. The substance belongs to anti-inflammatory drugs that have long been used in medical practice.
Auxiliary components include: cocoa, sucrose, lactose, lemon flavor and more. The ingredients of the drug can provoke the occurrence of an allergic reaction not only in women, but also in children.
"Faringosept" - an antiseptic that reduces the development of pathogenic microflora, affecting the process of cell division of the microbe, slowing it down. As a result, weakening of pathogens occurs, and they become not so dangerous for the body.
The main component of the drug - ambazon - does not affect the intestinal microflora and, as a result, does not cause any symptoms of dysbiosis. The disease can disrupt the absorption of nutrients in a nursing mother, which can affect the full growth and development of the baby.
Experts have proved that with the use of "Faringosept" during lactation, the natural microflora in the mouth is not disturbed. This distinguishes it from antibiotics. The drug does not fight infection, it is used as an antiseptic and disinfects the surface of the mucous membranes of the tonsils, throat and oral cavity.
The drug is effective in combination with antiviral drugs. This is due to the fact that throat diseases are usually associated with exposure to the body with reduced immunity.
What diseases does Faringosept fight against?
The most famous diseases of the throat include:
- Gingivitis. The main symptoms are gum inflammation in the form of edema, redness and bleeding.
- Stomatitis. The main symptoms are inflammation of the oral mucosa.
- Tonsillitis. There is inflammation of the tonsils caused by exposure to bacteria or viruses.
- Laryngitis. The main signs are inflammation of the mucous membrane of the larynx and vocal cords.

Pros and cons of the drug
Faringosept is particularly effective at the very beginning of the disease. If one of the diagnoses is confirmed in a nursing mother (chronic tonsillitis and sore throat indicates its exacerbation), then she needs to start taking the drug immediately at the first symptoms.
One of the pluses is the fact that Faringosept can be used for lactation without fear of a negative effect on the intestinal microflora.
