Unless it is mandatory during pregnancy, it is not
recommended to use any drugs other than vitamins and similar drugs required for
pregnancy. However, it may be necessary to use pain medications during
pregnancy due to headache, migraine, toothache, low back pain, hernia, trauma,
surgery. First of all, it should be noted that pain medications are not
"simple" drugs and they contain substances that, like other
medicines, may have various effects on the mother and baby organs. It is
necessary to avoid the use of painkillers and antipyretics (aspirin,
paracetamol, etc.), especially in the first 3 months of pregnancy. If it is
very necessary, it is absolutely necessary to use appropriate medicines under
the supervision of a doctor. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain medications
used in the last months of pregnancy (after the 34th week) can cause side
effects such as a decrease in the baby's water and closure of the vein called
ductus arteriosus.
The most harmless painkillers in pregnancy are paracetamol or
acetominofen-derived drugs. However, they should not be used outside the
doctor's supervision. Aspirin is a drug that is used at low doses already in
pregnancy in some cases (such as recurrent abortions) 80 mg per day, but high
doses can be harmful. Aspirin should never be used outside of a doctor's
supervision. In addition, aspirin may cause excessive bleeding at birth due to
its disruption of platelet aggregation, since it creates a tendency to bleed.
Plants that
are said to have a pain relieving effect:
Pregnant women are not recommended to use herbal teas, foods
that are said to have painkillers or other effects. Because the substances
contained in such plants may have bad effects on pregnancy.
Local
anesthetic drugs:
It should be used frequently for pregnant women, especially
in cases such as dental treatment. Local anesthetic agents such as lidocaine,
prilocaine, edidocaine are known to be safe for pregnant women. They can be
applied for the treatment of dental diseases or for local anesthesia in other
parts of the body.
Migraine
medications:
There are some special medicines used in the treatment of
migraine, apart from classic painkillers. These are drugs that are generally
not very safe to use during pregnancy, but appropriate treatment will be
planned by the neurologist considering the profit-loss ratio. For this reason,
when migraine patients think of pregnancy, they need to meet their neurologist
doctors and arrange their medications and treatments in accordance with pregnancy.
