Lizobact during pregnancy in the 1st and 2nd trimester

Features of the drug

Lizobact is an antiseptic drug. These are tablets that are dissolved to relieve a sore throat. These help with coughs.

The main components of the product are:

Lysozyme hydrochloride;
Pyridoxine hydrochloride.

Auxiliary components include lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, vanillin and others. Lizobakt is classified as a topical product. Lysozyme is an enzyme of protein origin. It is the antiseptic effect that is inherent in this drug, which is predominant in this drug.

This component neutralizes bacteria, viruses and fungi. As for Pyridoxine, it is characterized by an anti-aphthous effect, which is designed to provide protection to the mucous membrane. And these two elements get along well with each other, ensuring high efficiency of the drug.

Surgical strike

Lyzobakt contains two active substances that complement each other.

Lysozyme

An antiseptic of natural, not synthetic origin, produced from purified chicken egg white. It is completely compatible with the cells of the human body - lysozyme, as a natural antiseptic, is found in human saliva.

Its effect on gram-positive and gram-negative microflora is expressed in the fact that it causes lysis, that is, enzymatic and bacteriophage dissolution of cells of all their systems, including their most durable part - membranes, as an enzyme-hydrolase. It is also active in antiviral and antifungal properties.

Pyridoxine

Pyridoxine is a type of vitamin B6. Among its many beneficial properties as a stimulator of α-adrenoceceptors is an effect on the vessels of the mucous membranes (they narrow) and relaxation of the smooth muscles of the bronchi - which is what is required in the treatment of tonsillitis. Pyridoxine has no effect on the pharmacological properties of lysozyme; the medicinal components work ideally in tandem.

Thus, Lizobak during pregnancy has the following effects:

Antivirus;
Antimicrobial;
Anti-inflammatory;
Anesthetic;
Anti-relapse;
Regenerating.

In addition to all this, Lyzobact also has a local nonspecific immunostimulating effect.

All these properties are indispensable for pain and cough, when the throat and tonsils are inflamed and red. Lizobact, when taken in a timely manner, will prevent the purulent stage of the disease, preventing the transition of sore throats, pharyngitis and tonsillitis to the acute and then to the chronic phase.

When to use

As stated in the instructions for Lizobact, the product is recommended for use for the following ailments:

gingivitis;
pharyngitis;
acute and chronic tonsillitis.

And this is not a complete list of problems that can be described in one word - from the throat. In addition, the drug copes well with all types of stomatitis. You need to buy it for herpetic lesions.

The ingredients in the product appear to be safe for pregnant women. But you should definitely consult a specialist. Doctors say the main argument in favor of using this drug is the absence of teratogenic and mutagenic substances in its composition.

Indications for use

Lysobact in the first trimester of pregnancy is most often prescribed for the prevention of infectious diseases that appear in the oral cavity. Many people know that after conceiving a baby, a woman’s body is most susceptible to various inflammations, so this drug is considered one of the best means for the prevention of any infectious disease.

But in addition to prevention, this medicine is also prescribed for various diseases:

Angina
Punitive phenomena
Stomatitis
Tonsillitis
Herpes
Diseases of the gums and larynx
Erosion of the mucous membrane located in the mouth
Aphthous ulcers
Diseases of the gums and tongue

Mouth ulcers can also be treated with this remedy. But most often, such a disease requires several drugs that will treat the disease more effectively and quickly than Lyzobact alone.

It is important to note that Lizobact can be taken along with other drugs that are necessary for the body of the expectant mother. You can also combine this medicine with more serious medications that are also necessary for the treatment of any disease of the oral cavity.

The instructions for this drug say that this medicine is contraindicated:

Children under 3 years old
People who have an allergic reaction to one of the components of the medicine
For lactose and glucose intolerance

You should also use Lizobact with caution in the absence of signs of a particular disease, so as not to “earn” an allergy during pregnancy.

Once again I would like to note: do not take Lizobact without a prescription from a specialist. After all, you cannot know for sure if you have allergic reactions to its components and whether it can help with your illness. It’s better to visit a doctor, since the baby’s health directly depends on your well-being.

Calculating the correct dosage and the required course of treatment can only be done in consultation with a doctor. In the absence of contraindications, Lizobact is usually prescribed 1-2 tablets several times a day.

The drug has a convenient tablet form. The tablets should not be swallowed, but dissolved in the mouth as slowly as possible until completely dissolved.

The drug is often well tolerated by both adults and children. A complete ban on treatment with Lyzobact applies to people suffering from lactose intolerance, lactase deficiency and glucose malabsorption syndrome. The instructions for use of the pharmacological agent indicate that the possibility of any negative reaction depends on the patient’s sensitivity to the individual components of the drug.

Before using this medication, you should definitely consult your doctor.

The main negative reactions include:

anaphylactic manifestations;
dermatological manifestations of allergies.

If an allergy or intolerance to one of the components occurs, dermatological manifestations will consist of the formation of skin itching, rash and redness. In such situations, it is recommended to seek help from doctors who will prescribe the pregnant woman a course of gentle antihistamines and replace Lizobact with its analogue, which does not cause negative reactions.

In order for the effect of Lyzobact treatment to be rapid, it must be taken correctly. The standard daily dosage for adults is 6 tablets: 2 pieces for 3 doses, the course of treatment is 7 days. It is important to note that the tablets are not swallowed, but dissolved. It is during resorption that the maximum effect of active substances on infectious pathogens is achieved. If swallowed without absorption, there will not be enough time for a local reaction.

The safest period for treatment with Lyzobact is the second trimester. In the first trimester, there is a high probability of drug substances entering the blood and placenta, and in the third trimester, the components accumulate in the internal organs and breast milk.
Lizobact can be prescribed only if the pregnant woman is not allergic to the components of the drug. Any allergic manifestations during pregnancy can negatively affect the condition of the fetus, causing rashes, swelling, and respiratory failure.

Lizobact is a tablet drug, which is why it is easy to dose and prevent overdose. The drug should not be swallowed or washed down with water; it must be dissolved. When absorbed, the active components remain in the oral cavity longer, providing a therapeutic effect. If the tablet is swallowed, the effect will be minimal.

In accordance with the instructions, the drug is taken two tablets three times a day, the duration of the course of therapy is one week. The treatment regimen is individual for each patient and is prescribed only by the attending physician.

The drug has no contraindications; it is prescribed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The exception is individual intolerance and reactions in the form of rash and redness to the components of Lysobact.

During a crucial period, when a woman is preparing to become a mother, her instinct of self-preservation begins to work hard for two (and in some cases, for three). Therefore, it is not surprising that she takes her health seriously. But viruses and bad weather do not make any concessions for her. In this case, the question arises of how to treat a cold and sore throat.

Whether this drug can be used by pregnant women for each specific case is decided only by the doctor, taking into account the timing and well-being of the patient. The 1st trimester of pregnancy is considered especially risky, since any medical intervention is undesirable in the early stages.

Quite often, doctors prescribe lysobact during pregnancy if it is necessary to relieve a sore throat. This drug refers to drugs that affect the respiratory system.

During pregnancy, you should not prescribe Lysobact yourself, because any medicine can affect the condition of the expectant mother and baby. Yes, it is very difficult not to catch a common cold with a sore throat and runny nose for 9 months, so if you have the slightest symptoms you need to consult a specialist.

During pregnancy, Lyzobact can become a good antiseptic, since the main active ingredients are pyridoxine hydrochloride and lysozyme hydrochloride. The product is available in tablet form. Each tablet contains 10 mg of pyridoxine, 20 mg of lysozyme and auxiliary components: sodium saccharin, vanillin, magnesium stearate, lactose monohydrate, tragacanth, vitamin B6.

It's a pretty good antiseptic.

Reviews from doctors who prescribe this drug during pregnancy are positive, since the drug destroys the cell walls of pathogenic microorganisms. After this, they can no longer reproduce and develop. At the same time, vitamin B6 increases the degree of protection of the oral mucosa, so harmful microorganisms die and new ones do not form. Thus, the drug eliminates the clinical signs of the disease.

It is precisely because of the natural components of the drug that lysobact will not have a quick effect during pregnancy. Long-term use is required for the drug to cope with the pathology. The drug is considered an antiseptic; it destroys throat infections, so relief will not come after one tablet.

Before purchasing the drug, you should consult your doctor to see if Lysobact can be used during pregnancy. The specialist may find it necessary to prescribe you something else. A medicine of natural origin, it has an antimicrobial effect against fungi, viruses, bacteria, and improves human immunity.

Being examined by a doctor

Many doctors believe that lysobact during pregnancy will not cause harm. Although the drug penetrates the placental barrier, it does not harm the child. But it is prohibited to use it during the 1st trimester. We'll talk about this a little later. So, lysobact during pregnancy is prescribed for the following pathologies:

gingivitis;
acute and chronic tonsillitis;
pharyngitis;
angina;
various types of stomatitis;
erosion of the oral cavity;
herpetic lesions;
rehabilitation after tonsillectomy.

It is necessary to carefully understand when exactly during pregnancy you can take Lyzobact and when you can’t. During pregnancy in the 1st trimester it is strictly prohibited to be treated with this remedy.

During the first months, the formation of the baby's organs begins, so it is not recommended to use any medications. Lysozyme is released from the tablet during the resorption process and acts on the mucous membrane of the throat, but a small part of the active substance can enter the general bloodstream through the mucous membranes of the digestive system.

There is still a lot of controversy about the use of lysobact in the early stages of singleton or multiple pregnancy. The situation is complicated by the fact that the immune system of the expectant mother does not always effectively cope with pathogens, which is why ARVI symptoms often occur. The instructions for the drug state that it can be used in the 1st trimester, but doctors doubt that it has no effect on the fetus. Considering that lysobact crosses the placenta, it is better not to use it in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Starting from the 4th month, the development of systems and organs that were established in the first months occurs. Since the main formation processes are almost complete, the use of the drug is permitted during pregnancy in the 2nd trimester. A short course of treatment with this drug will not have a negative impact and disrupt the child’s development process.

Colds during pregnancy

Reviews from pregnant women claim that it was Lysobact, used during pregnancy, that allowed them to quickly get rid of an unpleasant disease. This happens because the product effectively affects gram-negative and gram-positive pathogens: fungi, viruses, bacteria.

Is it dangerous during pregnancy?

To be fair, I want to say that Lizobact is a popular drug. And this is understandable, because its action is quite effective. But is it possible to use it during pregnancy? This question interests every woman who is in an “interesting position.” An ENT specialist, when prescribing this remedy, must know that you are carrying a child and the gestational age.

In addition to him, other doctors can prescribe the drug:

gynecologist;
antenatal clinic therapist.

Most of the controversy today is about how safe the drug is in the 1st trimester. You must remember that it is in the first weeks that the formation of fetal organs occurs. And it’s not just the composition of Lizobact; in general, all medications are contraindicated during this period.

Lysozyme acts on the mucous membrane of the throat and there is no guarantee that some of this substance will not penetrate into the blood and then into the placenta of the fetus. Despite the fact that the instructions allow the use of the drug in the 1st trimester, I would refrain.

No one can say exactly how the drug will affect the child, but it is safe for the mother. You can buy it at the pharmacy without a prescription, and the pharmacist will not even ask about your situation.

How to use?

The instructions recommend dissolving the tablets until they are completely dissolved.

Advice! There is no point in swallowing tablets or chewing them. This use reduces the effectiveness of the drug.

Standard treatment regimen:

take two tablets three times a day,
course of therapy – 7 weeks.

Advice! If necessary, the course of treatment can be adjusted by the attending physician.

Who should not take it?

Any medicine has contraindications for use. However, contraindications to the drug Lizobact are limited solely to allergies to the components. The tablets should not be used if a rash or redness of the skin occurs when taking them. There are no other contraindications.

If indicated, you can use Lizobact during pregnancy. However, even this relatively safe drug should not be chosen for self-medication. It is not recommended for use in the first weeks, or before childbirth.

How will the drug perform in recent weeks?

In the 2nd trimester, the baby’s organs are already formed, so doctors already prescribe Lizobact to pregnant women without fear. If mommy uses the drug for a short time, then there will be no harm from it.

It is at this time that you buy medicine at the pharmacy to treat colds. If the disease is not treated, the consequences can be unpredictable, for example, ARVI or even worse. What is special about taking Lizobact in the 3rd trimester?

You remember that the second important component of the product is pyridoxine. It penetrates into the blood and then throughout the body. If the medication is taken frequently, and I know that some women abuse it, then the consequences can be very unpredictable.

In this case, pyridoxine accumulates in the following elements of the body:

central nervous system;
muscle tissue;
liver.

In addition, it passes into breast milk. That is why it is better not to use the drug. Reviews from those who took Lizobact during this period say that it is better to try folk remedies for treating a throat, and as a last resort, turn to absorbable tablets.

Description

During the cold season, it is extremely difficult to avoid illness, since preventive measures do not always produce results. It is especially difficult for pregnant women, since their immune system is weakened and they easily “catch” respiratory infections.

Many people prefer to be treated during pregnancy exclusively with folk remedies, but still, it is not always possible to do without the use of medications. The main thing is to use medications that are approved for use during this difficult period for a woman. One of these drugs is Lizobact. But it can also be taken only on the recommendation of a doctor, but self-medication should be strictly excluded!

Compound

Lizobact was created for the treatment of respiratory diseases; it is a combined remedy that has an antiseptic effect.

It contains two main components:

Lysozyme. This is a natural antiseptic; it is part of human saliva. Its action is to destroy the membranes of pathogenic microorganisms, as well as to increase local immunity.
Pyridoxine. Under this name lies the well-known vitamin B6. This substance allows you to quickly restore mucous membranes and relieve inflammation.

Advice! As can be seen from the description, the drug does not contain any dangerous substances, however, even this relatively safe drug should not be used in the early stages without a doctor’s prescription.

Indications

The instructions indicate that the drug is for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases of the throat and oral cavity. The product is recommended for use for the following diseases:

inflammatory diseases of the nasopharynx;
gingivitis - inflammation of the gums;

thrush in the mouth;
with exacerbation of herpes with rashes in the oral cavity.

Form

The drug is available in a single form. These are tablets intended for resorption. Each of them contains:

lysozyme – 20 mg;
pyridoxine – 10 mg.

When it doesn't help

So, you have found out what the drug is needed for, but you should understand that it is not universal. That is, there is no need to use it for any colds.

For example, the medicine will be useless for the following ailments:

purulent sore throat;
bronchitis;
pneumonia;
laryngotracheitis.

There are certain contraindications, although they are minimal. For example, if a woman has an individual intolerance to the components of the medicine. And also you cannot use the product immediately before childbirth.

Side effects may include:

redness;
itching;
skin rashes.

You should immediately stop taking Lizobact. You can also try folk remedies to treat throat ailments. And in some cases they are as effective as Lizobact. And the support bandage for pregnant women 0805 LombaMum Thuasne will help you during pregnancy.

The product is designed to support the stomach and also corrects posture. It has replaceable abdominal elements, which allows you to adjust the bandage in accordance with the physiological characteristics of the figure and the stage of pregnancy. There is a triangular tab in the center, which helps the bandage fit more tightly to the body.

Contraindications and side effects

Like any medication, Lizobact has both indications and contraindications, which are very important to consider when using the drug, so that your thoughtless actions do not cause harm to the course of gestation and the developing baby.

Contraindications to the use of the medicine:

individual intolerance to the active and auxiliary substances of the medication;
congenital lactose intolerance;
genetic disorder of the absorption of monosaccharides by the digestive system.

Possible side effects and first aid

Side effects from the use of Lyzobact are extremely rare. The main reason for their occurrence is an incorrectly selected dosage, which leads to an excess of the drug in the body.

Side effects:

skin rashes, itching and burning;
numbness of fingers and toes.

If the first symptoms of an overdose or intolerance to the medication appear, you must stop taking Lysobact and consult a doctor. Treatment for these symptoms includes the use of antihistamines and drinking plenty of fluids.

Interaction of Lyzobact with other medications

When using Lizobact, it is necessary to take into account the nature of its interaction with other medications taken concurrently. Indeed, often the effect of some medications can enhance or weaken the effectiveness of others.

Thus, when used simultaneously with other drugs, Lizobact:

enhances the effectiveness of antibiotics and diuretics;
weakens the effect of levodopa, which ensures motor activity in patients suffering from Parksinson's disease.

Composition of Lysobakt

One tablet contains analogues of substances that exist in nature.

Lysozyme is an enzyme that destroys pathogenic microflora and acts as an antiseptic. In the human body, lysozyme is present in blood plasma, heart, liver, bone marrow, and breast milk. The enzyme is also found in some plants and animals.
Pyridoxine or vitamin B6 - is present in all organs, is directly involved in metabolic processes, the synthesis of blood and hemoglobin, and is necessary for the restoration of proteins after serious physical and emotional stress.

Lizobact, if used correctly, will not cause any harm, but will only help get rid of unpleasant symptoms. The drug is prescribed in the following cases:

pathologies of the upper respiratory tract - sore throat, pharyngitis, laryngitis, acute respiratory diseases;
problems in the oral cavity – coated tongue, erosions on the oral mucosa, gingivitis, stomatitis;
herpes, but in this case Lysobact is used as an adjuvant.

Note: the drug has a complex effect: it stops inflammatory processes, destroys pathogenic microflora, accelerates the process of regeneration of mucous membrane tissue, eliminates pain and strengthens local immunity.

Each tablet of the drug contains 20 mg of the main active substance lysozyme. In addition, the composition includes additional active and auxiliary substances, the quantity and description of their purpose are presented below:

pyridoxine hydrochloride (B vitamin) - 10 mg, antioxidant effect, regulation of cellular biosynthesis;
lactose monohydrate - 155.4 mg, regulation of calcium metabolism, normalization of intestinal microflora;
gum tragacanth - 10 mg, stabilizer based on dried tree gluten extract;
Magnesium stearate - 4.0 mg, excipient derived from fatty acid of animal origin;
sodium saccharinate - 0.50 mg, sweetener;
vanillin - 0.10 mg, flavoring.

Reviews from women

The need to take into account the opinion of doctors and trust their knowledge has already been mentioned. But sometimes it is also useful to find out what the patients themselves think about a drug like Lysobact®. Their life experiences can help someone.

Nina Orlova

At 20 weeks of pregnancy, I developed a fever, chills, and coughing. I was very scared because I knew that not only the disease, but also the treatment at this time was dangerous for the child. I was advised to take Lizobact, I decided to trust my doctor, he took care of my older sister, who was carrying my nephew. And as a specialist, he generally inspires trust.

What can I say about the medicine? Don't expect quick results because you will be disappointed. But it really helped me, and better than Grammidin. That’s why I now recommend it to all expectant mothers.

Vera Tokareva

Lizobakt calms me down more, I begin to breathe better, it seems to me that the cough goes away because of this. But even if there is a placebo effect, I don't care. The main thing is that I can breathe calmly and deeply! I'm expecting a baby in a month, it's very difficult to carry it to term, my stomach has grown so much that I can no longer see my legs at all. Otherwise I'm satisfied.

Irina Tokareva

I don’t really like medications, but I know that Lyzobakt® is natural, which seems to be why it lasts so long. I drank it before pregnancy, I’ve long since gotten used to the absorption, and if I distract myself, time passes faster. And with a sore throat, I usually don’t want to eat anything anyway. In general, I recommend the medicine itself to everyone, there are no side effects, I have not encountered any allergies to it.

Natalia Kostareva

What can I say? Lizobakt is a cheap product, which I immediately liked. The instructions are very clear and simple, everything is strictly to the point. The taste of the tablets is not very unpleasant; I have come across worse medications. In general, there are a lot of advantages, if only this product would help. I heard from my friends that everything was removed from them, but apparently I was unlucky.

Oleg Ivanishin

My wife suffers from chronic tonsillitis, and we knew that during pregnancy the whole chronic condition gets worse. We were understandably worried about this. Faringosept did not work, we tried it on the advice of the Lizobakt® pharmacy. At first we thought that there was no effect either, but from the 3rd day it became much easier to breathe, and an appetite appeared. I don’t know for sure whether this remedy helped, maybe the body decided to cope on its own. But I recommend it just in case.

Natalia Ignatova

I didn't like Lizobakt. The composition seems to be normal, I shouldn’t have such a reaction to any of the ingredients. However, immediately after taking it, a red, nasty rash appeared literally before my eyes. It also hurts. I can’t explain this with anything other than Lizobaktom, because that day I ate almost nothing else and drank only water, I felt very nauseous.

Dasha Kostyuzhina

For my second pregnancy, Lizobact® has been helping me out. Of course, not on its own, it helps as part of complex therapy. But it works well, after a week there is usually no trace of a cold left. The smell is quite pleasant, the medicine does not cause nausea, and when I carry a child, I feel nauseous at everything. In general, I'm happy! I recommend everyone to take it, of course, don’t forget to consult your doctor.

To summarize, we can say that Lyzobact® has a mild effect. But at the same time, it is quite effective and can help with a variety of diseases of the throat and oral cavity. And it is one of the few drugs allowed during pregnancy.

— Anaferon during pregnancy

— Is it possible to breastfeed if your throat hurts?

— Tamiflu® during pregnancy

Instructions for use

Calculating the correct dosage and the required course of treatment can only be done in consultation with a doctor. In the absence of contraindications, Lizobact is usually prescribed 1-2 tablets several times a day.

The drug has a convenient tablet form. The tablets should not be swallowed, but dissolved in the mouth as slowly as possible until completely dissolved.

Operating principle

"Lizobakt" is a drug with a powerful antimicrobial effect, which is used to treat infectious processes and inflammation of the ENT organs. The medicine is an antiseptic and perfectly disinfects the oral cavity, helping to fight many bacteria, fungi and microorganisms.

The main active components of the drug are pyridoxine and lysozyme.

Lysozyme is an enzyme that is normally produced in the human body (in the salivary glands and immune cells) and helps fight attacks from aggressive viruses and pathogenic bacteria. Pyridoxine is a group of B vitamins that are necessary for the rapid relief of inflammation, healing of damaged tissue and cell renewal.

"Lizobakt" is available in the form of tablets, which must be carefully dissolved to achieve maximum effect.

What happens during an overdose?

Due to the specific nature of taking the drug, an overdose with this drug is unlikely. But the instructions for Lizobact® do not say anything separately about actions in this case during pregnancy. Therefore, it is worth proceeding from the standard scheme: if the patient has taken too much medicine, she experiences numbness, loss of sensitivity of the larynx, tingling, and other unpleasant sensations, then it is necessary, firstly, to stop taking the drug. And, secondly, drinking plenty of fluids is recommended. Symptoms will gradually disappear.
