Pregnancy means double responsibility and double concern for one's own health, because a woman is responsible not only for herself, but also for the life of a future child. In her hands, family happiness and home welfare, because it is she who brings a new life to the house. At the same time, not everything is so beautiful and cloudless. To my great regret, life often introduces its own corrections, and a joyous number of illnesses, a decrease in immunity, various pathologies that lead to pain and other consequences come to replace joyful expectations. However, the woman continues to take care primarily about the health of the baby, own health, leaving out of sight. Most women exclude drug therapy, as everyone knows that drugs negatively affect the health of the baby. But very few people know about the means that can be used absolutely at all life stages. For example, Buscopan during pregnancy not only does not harm, but also has a positive effect. Let's take a closer look: what is this tool?

Buskopan from the tone of the uterus during pregnancy

Gynecologists prescribe the drug to pregnant women if they have severe endocrine disorders. Also, it can help in eliminating the pains in the lower abdomen that occur during the initial stages of pregnancy. The occurrence of pain is explained by a sharp decrease in the amount of progesterone, as a result of which the uterus acquires a tone. If there is a threat of miscarriage, pain can also be observed, and then it is advisable to use a buscopan. He will lead the uterus into tonus, which is a reliable means of preventing miscarriages and premature births. If the examination revealed a low tone of the uterus, it is more logical to drink a buscopan.

The drug produces in three dosage forms - in the form of tablets, suppositories for rectal administration and injection solutions. Tablets are presented in the form of a biconvex tablet with sugar shell from the outside.

Candles

With the use of a buskapan, the uterus acquires softness and elasticity, thus preparing for further childbirth. The main effect is on the myometrium. If the cervix is still not mature enough at 38 weeks, candles are used.

Pills

Tablets are swallowed, washed down with water (large amount). Usually 1-2 tablets are enough, every day twice or thrice a day.

Indirectly contributes to the normalization of the secretory function by relaxing the endocrine organs. The person significantly calms down, respectively, the tone and spasm of blood vessels decrease. Spasmolytic action - the main result of taking the medication, indirectly is the elimination of headache, any other pain syndromes.

Pharmacokinetics

The active substance is hyoscine butyl bromide, the feature of which is a low level of absorption through the mucous membranes and walls of the digestive organs. It is characterized by high polarity. Due to this circumstance, if it gets into the internal environment, a partial absorption of the drug takes place: it is absorbed only by 8%. At the same time, the average bioavailability of the drug is no more than 1%. The maximum concentration is detected in the blood plasma after 2 hours.

When ingested, the drug is distributed. The active substance has a high affinity, has a tropism for cholinergic receptors, so the distribution occurs within the muscle fibers. Most often the abdominal cavity acts as a battery of this substance. Sensitive and intramural ganglia.

It is also known that one of the main reactions of substance transformation is observed in the placenta.

Where to insert a buscopan during pregnancy?

Ironically, many women do not know where and how to enter candles. Especially confusion overtakes women who are in a state of pregnancy. In fact, this is a very important issue, since the success of further treatment depends on the correctness of the drug administration.

Thus, the mode of administration depends on the expected result. If it is necessary to relax the uterus, and prepare the body for childbirth, or simply eliminate the uterine spasm - the suppository is introduced intravaginally, that is, into the vagina. If there is a spasm in the intestine, constipation is injected rectally, that is, into the anus.

Use of the buskupana during pregnancy during pregnancy

Buscopan can be used if the woman is "in position". In this case, the main criterion for choosing the necessary form and dosage of the drug is the condition of the woman. Only the doctor can determine the necessary dosage, based on the results of the tests, the data of the physical and gynecological examination, the history of the disease. Self-medication here can be fraught with serious consequences, especially if you consider the ability of the drug to cause miscarriages and change the hormonal background.

Therefore, the drug is especially dangerous at the initial stages, when the risk of developing spontaneous abortion and miscarriage is high. Be sure to take into account that the drug should have a significant benefit for the mother, against the background of which harm to the baby will be insignificant.

Before giving birth, its main purpose is reduced to the preparation of the uterus, which softens, as a result of which it gradually begins to unfold. As a result, its disclosure will occur much more quickly, more intensively and painlessly, which will contribute to the soft, tranquil birth of the baby.
