In what trimester of pregnancy can Inhalipt be used?

Is it possible to use Ingalipt spray during pregnancy, what do the instructions for use say about this? Sometimes doctors recommend it for severe sore throat, but with caution.

Experts explain their recommendations by saying that the antiseptic has a local effect and practically does not penetrate into the blood, so the harm from its use to the fetus is minimal. However, no studies have been conducted regarding the harm of the drug for pregnant women, which must be taken into account when choosing it for the treatment of colds.

The question of whether Ingalipt can be taken in the early stages of pregnancy or in the 3rd trimester is decided individually by the attending physician.

Pros and cons in the 1st trimester

It is not advisable to use Ingalipt during pregnancy in the 1st trimester. During this period, all the vital functions of the child are formed, and any medications can interfere with this process.

In addition, the drug can increase the symptoms of toxicosis due to the content of eucalyptus and peppermint oils (strong allergens), causing nausea and vomiting.

Thymol contained in the drug is contraindicated in the early stages, as it can lead to miscarriage.

Use in the 2nd trimester

Inhalipt spray during pregnancy in the 2nd trimester (5-6 months) is no longer so dangerous. But only a doctor can prescribe Inhalipt and carefully monitor the dosage.

Before using the spray, you must carefully read the instructions. It is usually found inside the package.

Is it possible to spray on the third?

Taking Inhalipt during advanced pregnancy is practically harmless. All the baby’s organs are formed, so the medicine cannot harm. But it should be used in minimal dosages and on the recommendation of a doctor.

Has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects

The main danger of the drug lies in the content of streptocide and sulfathiazole. They penetrate the placental barrier and in the last weeks of pregnancy can cause anemia and jaundice in the fetus. Considering the effect of the drug on the body of a pregnant woman, expectant mothers and fathers need to think carefully about using Ingalipt during pregnancy, or choose one of the safer means.

Analogs

Proven analogues with similar effects include:

• Cameton. The price of the analogue is slightly lower. Sold in spray and aerosol form. Has a local anesthetic and antiseptic effect.
• Strepsils. The analogue has a higher price. Has an antiseptic effect. Sold in tablet form. Can be given from the age of 5 years.
• Tantum Verde. More expensive analogue. Available in the form of solution, tablets and spray. Has an anti-inflammatory effect.

When is the drug prescribed?

Inhalipt is a combination medication for local treatment of infectious pathologies of the upper respiratory tract. It has an antiseptic and local anesthetic effect.

The drug should be prescribed by a doctor for throat diseases:

• tonsillitis, including bacterial nature (angina);
• pharyngitis;
• laryngitis;
• flu accompanied by sore throat.

The use of the medicine helps eliminate pain, inflammation, and neutralize pathogenic fungi and bacteria. The effect is observed almost immediately, inflammation and irritation of the mucous membrane is noticeably reduced.

With hot tea

Ingalipt can be used in the form of a spray or aerosol can:

• when using a spray, it is easier to monitor the dosage, since the bottle is equipped with a dispenser, which, when pressed, dispenses only the required amount of medicine;
• the aerosol stream is sprayed as long as pressure is applied to it, so the dosage must be controlled. The advantage of an aerosol is the ability to spray small particles of the solution deep into the respiratory tract.

Contraindications

In what cases should the medication not be used? The instructions indicate the following contraindications:

• pregnancy;
• lactation period;
• children under three years of age;
• tendency to seizures;
• renal failure and diseases of the genitourinary system;
• blood diseases;
• congenital deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase;
• hypersensitivity to one or more components (may cause allergies in women).

Advantages and disadvantages of Ingalipt during pregnancy

The arguments for using Inhalipt during pregnancy are based on its local effects. The active components of the drug affect only the mucous membrane, entering the blood in small quantities, therefore they cannot affect the development of the fetus and the gestation process.

Inhalipt effectively and quickly eliminates sore throat due to viral and bacterial infections. Relieves inflammation and irritation in the oral cavity, restoring damaged mucous membranes.

The arguments against using Inhalipt during pregnancy are as follows:

1. The effect of sulfonamides and thymol on the fetus is not fully understood, but these substances are considered toxic. Experiments have shown that in high doses, significantly exceeding those permissible for humans, they cause developmental defects in baby rats.
2. The drug contains ethyl alcohol, which is prohibited during pregnancy.
3. Essential oils of mint and eucalyptus can trigger allergies. Women with a tendency to such reactions should avoid Ingalipt.
4. As a result of spraying the solution, the nerve receptors in the mouth and throat are irritated, which can cause nausea and vomiting.
5. There are no data on the use of Ingalipt for the treatment of pregnant women.

Thus, before using Ingalipt during pregnancy, it is necessary to consult with a therapist and gynecologist. Doctors prescribe this drug after assessing the woman’s condition and all possible risks.

Instructions for use of Ingalipt during pregnancy

The question of whether Inhalipt can be taken during pregnancy is decided individually by the attending physician. The prescription of the drug depends on the stage of pregnancy:

1. In the first trimester, the laying and initial formation of organs occurs in the fetus, and the female body adapts to the new state and spends all its strength on maintaining the pregnancy. During this period, it is better to stop using any medications, including Ingalipt. In addition, women who used it in the first 12 weeks noted an increase in toxicosis symptoms.
2. In the second and third trimesters, Ingalipt can be used, but strictly as prescribed by a doctor. The instructions for the drug indicate that there are no clinical data on its use during pregnancy and lactation.

It is allowed to use Ingalipt during pregnancy up to 3-4 times a day. If you inhale more often, the concentration of the drug components in the blood will increase and can affect the normal course of pregnancy. The duration of treatment should not exceed 7 days; in difficult cases, it can be slightly increased (as prescribed by the doctor).

Inhalation is performed as follows:

• the mouth must be rinsed with warm water;
• if there are areas with plaque or mucus, they need to be cleaned with a sterile swab;
• The oral cavity is irrigated with the drug for 1-2 seconds.

You can eat and drink 20 minutes after the procedure. If inflammation is severe, you should refrain from talking during this time and also not go outside.

Can I use it while breastfeeding?

During breastfeeding, the medication is contraindicated if you follow the instructions. But many doctors may prescribe the drug if a woman experiences severe discomfort while swallowing.

Provides complex pathogenetic therapy

During the period of use of the drug, you must stop breastfeeding, as the components included in the composition penetrate into breast milk. Immediately after pain relief, the medicine is replaced by rinsing with decoctions of chamomile, sage, and eucalyptus.
