It is generally believed that the drug "Paracetamol" is one of the safest means. But on this subject ongoing research and scientific disputes.
For example, paracetamol for breastfeeding and pregnancy is allowed if the risks to its use are justified by extreme necessity. Some manufacturers do not take risks and often enter in the instructions to the drug pregnancy and breastfeeding as contraindications to the use. Simple colds to the child can not harm anything, but with the flu the situation is quite different. It is unequivocal that the flu is an extreme necessity and is capable of causing more harm to the child than the drug "Paracetamol". While breastfeeding and pregnancy, it is still desirable to minimize the intake of any medications. Researchers in this area believe that the drug "Paracetamol" with all its effectiveness, even if not itself provokes the emergence of many diseases, then, at least, activates most of their hidden forms. Hardly anyone really wants to know their genetic predisposition to blood, digestive, cardiovascular or immune system diseases. If you do not provoke your body, you can never even know about it. And all because of the fact that the drug "Paracetamol" has a strong toxic effect.
But still you can not tolerate the heat of both mother and child. And another such effective medicine, as paracetamol, mankind has not yet come up with. Because of its irreplaceable spectrum of influence, it is a part of the majority of antipyretic and analgesic agents, Especially influenza and antiviral. Therefore, never mix different drugs that contain paracetamol, since an overdose of this substance is fraught with bad consequences. Analginum, like paracetamol, with breastfeeding and pregnancy is not desirable. And although you can not get away from it, try to minimize the intake of such medications as much as possible. First, it is undesirable to bring down the temperature if it is below 38.5 degrees. Before this mark, the body is not only able to cope with pathogens independently, but also learns to fight them, developing immunity. Secondly, try to use drugs that have, in addition to paracetamol, good anti-inflammatory or antiviral components. Then taking medicines containing paracetamol, while breastfeeding and pregnancy will be more justified.
Another risk group when using drugs containing paracetamol is small children. Researchers believe that almost every second child this drug causes persistent allergic reactions, up to asthma. And although there are special drugs, like, for example, Paracetamol syrup for children, you should not abuse them. This is not a therapeutic tool, it does not heal. It's just a way to react quickly to very high temperatures. Therefore, do not use the drug "Paracetamol" for breastfeeding, pregnancy and children as a permanent antipyretic medicine. After the first administration of the drug, you should immediately consult a doctor to determine the cause of temperature and the appointment of complex therapy, including the optimal antipyretic agent for permanent use. Be sure to alert health workers about what you took, how much and when, including the "Paracetamol" pill. The price for them is small, only a few rubles, and even the syrup is not much more expensive, so as an extreme way to have it in your home medicine cabinet is still worth it. But one must not allow the treatment to do more harm than good. Take your health seriously and with full responsibility, because you are responsible not only for yourself, but also for one human life. Do not be ill!
