Nurofen during pregnancy

Any woman from the very first moment, as soon as she finds out about her pregnancy, immediately decides to start a new way of life, change her attitude to herself, making him more gentle and quivering. More rest, less exhausting work, a healthy diet, a mood for only good, and most importantly - no medications. She does not need any medicine - from them the child will not do anything good!

However, life usually disposes of it differently. And the headache does not ask whether to come to her or not. And here the head hurts, sometimes it is impossible to suffer it, and at work at all the flu, which, it seems, begins with her.

Both headache and fever are signs of ARVI, which is not only undesirable, but also dangerous for a child's future. Therefore, doctors sometimes prescribe the drug Nurofen - during pregnancy, it can quickly and knock down the temperature, and the headache to calm.

Future mothers often ask if they can take Nurofen during pregnancy. There is no unequivocal answer to it. After all, this medicine is both painkiller, and anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic.

In general, to drink Nurofen during pregnancy, in principle, is not prohibited. The question is: in what way can it be fraught. Why, in the annotation to this medication, it is stated that during the fetal gestation it can be taken only in those cases when it will bring more benefit to the mother than complications for the child.

Nurofen during pregnancy increases the likelihood of abnormalities in the development of the reproductive organs in a male child. However, for girls treatment with this drug is undesirable. And this applies to the first six months of pregnancy, because further, from the seventh month of his pregnancy can not be taken under any pretext. Doctors explain their categoricity by the fact that Nurofen may well cause premature contractile activity of the uterus of a pregnant woman, as a result of which there may be a threat of miscarriage or childbirth may begin earlier than the due time.

It is interesting that during the period of breastfeeding the child from Nurofen is refused point-blank. It turns out a strange paradox: in the case of a newborn child, it can not be accepted, and in the case of an unborn baby, there are options ...

And yet, let every woman who reads a list of possible complications decides whether she should take risks and take Nurofen during pregnancy, even if the doctor appointed him:

• Increased pressure, developing tachycardia;
• heart failure;
• Dizziness, trouble sleeping;
• Cystitis, nephritis, kidney failure;
• Excessive excitation or drowsiness;
• Disorganization of the digestive organs, bloating, unpleasant sensations in the mucous membrane of the mouth;
• Rashes, allergies, rhinitis.

Although the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture this drug assure that all these side effects can arise only if Nurofen is drunk long enough, but, as they say, the benign God protects. It seems that for any pregnant woman who has become quite skeptical about her medicines as a result of her physiological state, this list will be more than enough.

Sometimes some doctors risk and prescribe, but not an adult, and children's Nurofen, while pregnant, although slightly weak for an adult, but as safe as possible. The instructions say that this suspension with orange or strawberry taste can be taken even by a three-month-old child.

This drug is also available in the form of a gel that helps with muscle pain in the back, arthritis, sprain and neuralgia. They say that a very effective ointment that helps with the above symptoms.

However, Nurofen-gel during pregnancy is again appointed with great caution.
