The use of Strepsils during pregnancy is not dangerous, but it should be done only after the doctor's appointment.

Strepsils during pregnancy will have a mild effect and protect the oral cavity of the woman from the reproduction of bacteria and fungi. After all, the body of a pregnant woman is subject to virus attacks due to weakening of immunity.

Catarrhal diseases, unfortunately, are a frequent phenomenon during pregnancy, since the woman's immunity is currently significantly weakened, and a decrease in immunity significantly reduces the risk of spontaneous miscarriage. It is because of this that inflammatory diseases, for example, tonsillitis, periodontal disease, acute pharyngitis, stomatitis or laryngitis, can worsen in pregnant women. Medications in the treatment process should be selected carefully and only after consulting a specialist.

One of the most effective drugs for infectious inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity is strepsils, which has local anesthetic and antibacterial action.

Strepsils is a combined fungicidal drug for use in ENT practice and dentistry.

Whether it is possible for pregnant women, the doctor decides in each case individually. Even if this drug previously helped you well, now you need to be more careful about the use of any medicine, even local action.

Strepsils during pregnancy or during the feeding of a child is allowed, because it is absolutely safe for the baby. Its components are not excreted in breast milk and do not have mutagenic, teratogenic and embryotoxic effects. Strepsils is not prohibited for pregnant women, unless there are other contraindications in connection with having a chronic disease of a future mother.

The active substances in the preparation (amylmetacresol and 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol), as well as auxiliary substances (essential oils of anise and peppermint, levomenthol, tartaric acid, karmazin edikol, ponso edikol, sucrose and liquid dextrose) are practically not absorbed in Blood, so his reception is relatively safe for the fetus. Essential oils soften the mucosa due to increased secretions of the salivary glands. The increase in the amount of saliva is also having an antibacterial effect, since saliva contains lysozyme (a natural antibiotic). In addition, essential oils when ingested on the mucosa cause hyperemia in this area, which leads to better microcirculation and thereby accelerates the healing process.

Application Strepsils during pregnancy, perhaps, but under the supervision of a doctor. This agent has excellent antibacterial properties, so it is effective against many bacteria (aerobic and anaerobic) and some fungi (for example, the genus Candida). It has a bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect due to the destruction of bacterial cell membranes, thereby dehydrating the cells of microorganisms, which as a result leads to their death.

But it is not necessary to abuse drugs of this type, as against the background of this there may be an allergic reaction to one of the components of the drug. If there were no reactions to pregnancy, the risk of allergy is low. However, in this case, the dosage and the regularity of use must be strictly observed. The doctor when prescribing Strepsils during pregnancy takes into account all the individual characteristics of a woman's health.
