During pregnancy, the treatment of the common cold is of particular importance for a number of reasons:

If a woman's nose is blocked, she mostly breathes through her mouth. This leads to drying up of the mucous membrane of the oropharynx, and in combination with a natural decrease in the immunity of a pregnant woman, it is fraught with such serious consequences as infectious diseases oropharynx and upper respiratory tract(pharyngitis, tonsillitis, etc.).
Infectious and viral rhinitis are dangerous both for the course of pregnancy itself and for the health of the unborn baby - on early dates untreated infection can lead to pregnancy fading, in the later stages - to infection of the fetus, and, accordingly, to malformations.
Long-term rhinitis in advanced forms causes respiratory failure and oxygen supply to the body of a woman, which is fraught with phytoplacental insufficiency, fetal hypoxia. This, in turn, leads to either spontaneous abortion or the birth of a small child.

Pinosol has a decongestant, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect based on natural essential oils in its composition. This is one of the few nasal preparations that are not contraindicated for use during pregnancy. Nevertheless, the instructions for the drug warns expectant mothers against unauthorized use: the medicine must be prescribed by a doctor strictly in accordance with the indications.

This is due to the fact that Pinosol is not at all a universal drug, like the usual vasoconstrictor drops. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to understand the causes of rhinitis: if it is an allergy or viral infection- Pinosol not only will not help, but can aggravate the situation.

Pinosol - a herbal remedy effective against bacterial rhinitis

Contraindications to the use of the drug are:

individual intolerance to any of the components of the drug;
allergic rhinitis (the drug does not have an instant vasoconstrictor effect and is therefore useless in such cases);
rhinitis of a viral nature (for example, with influenza).

The use of Pinosol may be accompanied by side effects of an allergic nature, such as:

burning;
increased edema, that is, nasal congestion;
increased secretion of mucus.

If at least one of the listed symptoms appears in a pregnant woman, the drug should be discontinued and a doctor should be consulted to prescribe a replacement.

Most commonly used vasoconstrictors for the treatment of nasal congestion are not recommended for use during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. In the second and third trimesters, they are appointed in exceptional cases. The danger of vasoconstrictor drugs for pregnant women is explained by the following reasons:

They affect blood vessels throughout the human body, including those that deliver nutrients to the baby. This can cause fetal hypoxia.
Vasoconstrictor drops with prolonged use reduce their therapeutic efficacy, which requires a constant increase in dosage, cause dependence. These circumstances at times increase the negative impact on the fetus described in the previous paragraph.
Adrenomimetics can cause an increase blood pressure, while in the second half of pregnancy, some women already have pressure problems.
The drugs in this group cause dryness of the mucous membranes, which reduces their resistance to infections.

Two groups of drugs are considered safe during pregnancy, the action of which is aimed at combating inflammation of the nasal mucosa:

herbal medicines and homeopathic remedies;
drugs based on sea water and saline solutions intended for washing the nose.

During pregnancy, many women's immunity is greatly weakened, as a result of which almost every woman in position suffers from a severe cold. During this period, many drugs are strictly forbidden to use, especially in the first trimester, this also applies to drugs that treat the common cold. There are a large number of blood vessels in the nose, through which all substances go directly to the baby.

Rhinitis during pregnancy

It is very important that the doctor clearly describes the scheme for the use of nasal ointment or drops, which must be carefully followed.

Treatment with Pinosol ointment is not as widespread as the use of spray and drops. However, with a dry runny nose, it is cream-ointment that will help. Carefully, the ointment is drawn onto the tip of a cotton swab, and with light movements, not deep, is applied to the entire mucosa.

Due to the natural composition, no problems and consequences were observed during pregnancy, but caution never hurts. Even if a woman has never suffered from allergic reactions before pregnancy, then in the current situation everything can happen, as there is a hormonal failure of the whole organism.

Do not use Pinosol ointment for children less than one year old. The instructions should contain the exact dosage for each age, it is important to strictly adhere to these recommendations. In case of an overdose, serious consequences can begin and, instead of helping, you can harm the child.

Pinosol for children is not produced separately; it has already been developed by specialists for the treatment of both adults and children. When a procedure is carried out with a child, you need to monitor his further behavior, and immediately respond to any complaints. If the baby is completely tiny, then you need to pay attention to his actions and general condition. In addition, if you use Pinosol up to 3 years of age, then parents should ensure that the child does not climb his hands or objects into his nose.

The course of treatment is no more than one week, the procedure is carried out three times a day.

According to the instructions for use, the drug is allowed for use by pregnant women if approved by the attending physician. Indications for the appointment of funds are such ailments as inflammatory diseases nasopharynx, atrophic rhinitis, dryness of the mucous membranes of the nose. The medication is often used after nasal surgery, as it helps to completely get rid of nasal congestion. Euphorbium Compositum Nazentropfen can serve as an analogue of the drug for pregnant women.

The drug is allowed to be used to treat children who have reached the 2nd age. The solution is applied 3-4 times a day, 1-2 drops. To facilitate the introduction of the drug into the nasal passage of the child, it is allowed to collect the substance on the edge of the stick, wrapped in cotton. The drug can be administered using gauze turunda, the duration of exposure is 10 minutes.

In order to understand exactly whether it is safe to use ointments, sprays and drops of Pinosol during pregnancy, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the composition of this drug in more detail.

Most of this remedy is plant extracts - this is Scots pine oil, Eucalyptus oil, thymol and peppermint extract. And of course, the medicine includes a fairly large dose of vitamin E.

Moreover, this medicinal product helps to effectively not only reduce, but completely eliminate nasal congestion, which often manifests itself in the development of rhinitis during pregnancy, the formation of which, in almost all cases, occurs as a result of changes in hormonal levels, increased vascular permeability in the nasal cavity, and reduced immunity.

As a result of the use of Pinosol during pregnancy, there is a significant improvement in the blood circulation process in the nasal cavity, and of course, the secretion of the nasal glands decreases. Regardless of whether the pregnant woman will use a spray, ointment or drops of the drug, it helps to reduce the unpleasant feeling of dryness in the nose.

At the same time, scientists have conducted a lot of research, thanks to which it becomes clear that while taking Pinosol during pregnancy, it does not have any pathological effect on the fetus.

One of the most important contraindications to taking this drug during pregnancy is the presence of individual intolerance or severe allergy to one of the constituent components of the drug.

It is also necessary to remember about the individual characteristics of the female body. The fact is that for some this drug can become a truly magical remedy that will relieve a runny nose, and for someone it can only harm and lead only to an increase in the signs and symptoms of the disease.

The drugs are available in different forms, while the composition is the same:

spray
nasal drops

In the fight against sinusitis, it is more effective to use a spray so that the medicine penetrates as deep as possible, and the entire mucous membrane succumbs to the effects of oils.

In the treatment of wet rhinitis and common rhinitis, a spray or drops are also used.

With a dry runny nose, when crusts already appear inside the nose, the doctor prescribes Pinosol ointment, which gently eliminates soreness and softens the mucous surface.

Cream and ointment. A small amount of ointment (about 3 centimeters) is gently massaged into each cavity. It is advisable to use a cotton swab to apply the ointment, and then from the outside with your finger, perform circular movements so that the ointment is evenly distributed. The procedure is performed 4 times a day, no more. The duration of treatment is one week.

Cream or ointment is applied to the inner surface of the wings of the nose with a hygienic cotton swab.

The duration of the course of treatment with Pinosol, according to the instructions, should not exceed seven days. This limitation is due to the risk of allergic reactions to the components of the drug, as well as a decrease in the therapeutic effect around this time.

Steam inhalations with Pinosol are done 2-3 times a day, at a time using the number of drops of the drug recommended by the doctor. They are poured together with saline into a special device - a steam inhaler.

Adverse reactions and contraindications

Pregnancy itself is not a contraindication to the use of the drug. But there are points to consider:

Pinosol is absolutely contraindicated in pregnant women with intolerance to any of its components. It is necessary to use the remedy for the first time only under the supervision of a specialist.
The drug does not make sense to use for viral rhinitis, which are symptoms of SARS or influenza, especially during the first days of the disease.
For dry rhinitis, drops and spray Pinosol are not used, but a cream or ointment can be used.
The drug is not used for allergic rhinitis. In this case, it not only does not improve the patient's condition, but can also aggravate it.

The drug is not recommended for use in patients who have hypersensitivity to one or more components of the substance. People suffering from allergic rhinitis should not use the drug. The drug is contraindicated in children under 2 years of age. Women during pregnancy or lactation are allowed to be treated with this pharmacological product only on prescription.

Indications for treatment with Pinosol are:

acute rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal mucosa) of bacterial origin;
chronic infectious rhinitis of mixed etiology;
diseases of the nasal cavity of fungal origin;
diseases of the upper respiratory tract caused by bacteria - laryngitis, pharyngitis, tracheitis (in this case, Pinosol can be used as a means for steam inhalation);
diseases of the nasal cavity, accompanied by drying of the mucous membrane;
postoperative condition (after sinus puncture or sinusitis).

With long studies, it was noticed that in most cases Pinosol is well tolerated, without causing any consequences. However, it can still happen adverse reactions in people with individual intolerance.

Some patients, due to the ointment, may feel a burning sensation in the nostril, itching and a rash at the site of exposure to the drug. If you continue treatment, swelling of the nasal mucosa, inflammation and hyperemia may occur.
There are cases that Pinosol not only does not cure the disease, but also enhances it, dryness in the nose may appear. Most often this happens due to long-term use of the drug. That's why you can not ignore the tips indicated in the instructions and self-medicate.
At the first negative symptoms, you should immediately stop using Pinosol, and in the near future visit a doctor who will prescribe an alternative medicine or reduce the dosage.
Pinosol can also provoke an allergic reaction, although the essential oils themselves and the additional components that make up the composition are not allergens. If the patient suffers from a runny nose due to allergies, then this medication is not recommended.

Some contraindications:

Pinosol - ointment is completely contraindicated for newborns and children under one year old. However, some pediatricians personal experience convinced that it is better not to prescribe this medicine to children under three years of age. You can use the medication only when there is a threat to life, when the degree of infection of the nasal cavity is so great that you can neglect the possible harm caused to the child.
Nasal ointment is not used for acute viral respiratory infections, viral rhinitis and influenza in the early days of the disease, as the disease can only worsen.

Pinosol in any dosage form used to treat inflammatory diseases of the nose and nasopharynx, in particular, rhinitis of the following nosological forms:

acute bacterial rhinitis;
chronic infectious rhinitis;
rhinitis of fungal origin.

It is used to treat postoperative cicatricial changes in the nasal mucosa, for example, after surgery for sinusitis and other sinusitis.

The inhalation method is used to treat inflammatory diseases of bacterial origin of the upper respiratory tract - nasopharynx, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis.

Essential oils of Pinosol have antibacterial action, but microorganisms are always competitors and antagonists to viruses, preventing their reproduction. In this regard, the destruction of the bacterial flora in rhinitis of a viral nature will only contribute to the progression of the disease, therefore Pinosol cannot be used in the first days of the course of viral rhinitis.

Pinosol, like any medicine, is forbidden to be used in treatment if the patient has an individual intolerance or allergic reactions to any component that is part of the drug.

If due attention is not paid to this contraindication, then the use of Pinosol threatens to turn into critical conditions for the patient - anaphylactic shock, Quincke's edema, bronchospasm, suffocation, in mild cases, urticaria or allergic rhinitis.

Pinosol itself can become a source of allergies, because it contains essential vegetable oils that can become powerful allergens, so the drug is contraindicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis of all forms and etiology.

The drug is absolutely contraindicated for the treatment of children under one year of age according to the manufacturer's instructions. But medical practice and clinical trials show that age restrictions should be extended to 3 years of age. At the age of 1 to 3 years, it can be used only if it is vital for a sick child, and the degree of risk is much lower than the expected benefit from using Pinosol.

The drug is not used for the treatment of viral rhinitis on the background of acute respiratory viral infections or influenza in the first 2-3 days from the moment of the manifestation of the disease, because. it does not show its effectiveness, and in some cases only aggravates the course of the disease.

Forms of Pinosol in the form of a spray or drops are not used to treat dry rhinitis. In this case, it is necessary to use Pinosol ointment or cream.

The use of Pinosol spray is contraindicated for children under 6 years of age, although it would be correct to expand this age limit to 14 years.

With extreme caution in the treatment of children, it is necessary to use forms of the drug in the form of an ointment or cream due to the inability to control the dose of medicinal substances. The dosage form of choice for children is Pinosol nasal drops.

The remedy is local preparation. Main indications for use:

sharp and chronic rhinitis;
excessive dryness of the nasal mucosa;
acute respiratory bacterial infections with manifestations of nasal congestion (tracheitis, bronchitis, laryngitis, pneumonia, and so on);
according to indications, rehabilitation after surgical intervention in the nasal cavity.

Viral infection, oddly enough, is a contraindication for the use of the drug. This is due to the fact that on the first day of the disease, microbes are antagonists and suppress the replication of the ARVI pathogen.

The antiseptic effect of the drug primarily destroys the bacterial flora, increasing the reproduction of the virus. Pinosol is shown only from the third day of SARS.

The ban on the appointment of Pinosol applies to the following cases of patient conditions:

It is absolutely contraindicated to use Pinosol for pregnant women with previously established intolerance to its components. The first use of the drug by other patients should occur with the obligatory supervision of a doctor.
It does not make sense to use Pinosol for viral rhinitis, which are symptoms of SARS or influenza, especially in the first days of illness.
With a dry runny nose, Pinosol drops and spray are not applicable, but the use of an ointment or cream can alleviate the course of the disease.
In allergic rhinitis, the use of the drug not only does not improve the condition, but can also cause a significant deterioration.

Indications for the use of Pinosol ointment:

Inflammatory diseases of the mucous membranes of the nose and nasopharynx of acute or chronic form, which are accompanied by drying of the mucous membranes of the nose- rhinitis, sinusitis (sinusitis, sphenoiditis, frontal sinusitis).
Conditions after operations performed in the nasal cavity(septoplasty, laser treatment of chronic tonsillitis), and nasal packing in an inpatient or outpatient setting to prevent infection postoperative wounds in the nasal cavity.

Contraindications in the use of Pinosol ointment:

Rhinitis of allergic origin.
Age up to two years.
Hypersensitivity to the components that make up the drug.

The pharmaceutical product has a pronounced antibacterial effect, perfectly fights pathogenic microbes, relieves inflammation and swelling, and restores blood circulation in the tissues of the mucosa. Nasal congestion disappears, and it becomes easier for the baby to breathe.

The drug is used in the complex therapy of acute and chronic atrophic rhinitis, after operations in the nasal cavities. It is advised to use it for the treatment of diseases of the nasopharynx, accompanied by drying of the mucosa.

Contraindication to use is hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. The drug is not intended for children under one year old. In the form of drops and inhalations, they are sometimes used for babies of two to three years.

Method of application and dosage

The pharmaceutical industry produces the nasal drug Pinosol in four varieties, which are used in the treatment depending on the type of rhinitis and the age of the patient:

spray Pinosol, which has the fastest and most complete therapeutic effect;
nose drops Pinosol have the same composition and concentration of medicinal substances as in the spray;
ointment Pinosol, which has a long and effective effect;
cream Pinosol, showing the softest, gentle, prolonged action.

The composition of Pinosol, dosage and cost of these dosage forms differ from each other. When choosing for the treatment of one form or another of the drug, one must be guided by what form of rhinitis the drug should treat.

Wet rhinitis with rhinorrhea is treated with nasal drops or spray. For the treatment of a wet runny nose in children, Pinosol nasal drops should be preferred. For adult patients, a spray may be more effective.

Pinosol spray penetrates very deeply, covering a large area of the nasal mucosa, so this type will be preferred in the treatment of sinusitis. However, the spray can enter the lower respiratory tract when inhaled, so the attraction of young children in order to prevent bronchospasm and side effects, it is not used. In addition, the spray is not recommended for use with a tendency to dryness of the nasal mucosa.

Drops of Pinosol for the nose are easier to dose, moreover, they do not cause injuries to the child's vulnerable mucosa. The oil base of nasal drops very rarely leads to dryness of the nasal mucosa.

If rhinitis has passed into the dry stage with the formation of crusts, then Pinosol ointment or cream should be preferred. The latter form has a more gentle effect, although the duration of the effect fully corresponds to the ointment form.

Therefore, the cream is used for problematic nasal mucosa. Pinosol ointment has a more pronounced therapeutic effect than a cream, but it acts more aggressively against the nasal mucosa.

Pinosol does not have the same productive vasoconstrictor effect as the popular Galazolin, Naphthyzin, Farmazolin and other nasal drops. Its vasoconstrictive effect is manifested only when the inflammatory reaction is eliminated and, as a result, swelling of the nasal mucosa. Therefore, in many cases, it is not possible to eliminate nasal congestion with the help of Pinosol.

Ointment or cream Pinosol is applied to the nasal mucosa in each nostril 3-4 times a day for 1-2 weeks. For one dose for an adult, it will be enough to squeeze 1 cm³ out of the tube medicinal substance. To make the application of the ointment on the mucous membrane more uniform, you can use a cotton swab. After application, you need to press and lightly massage each nostril.

Pinosol drops are injected into each nostril 1-2 drops for children up to 3 times a day, for adults - up to 4 times a day. For young children, drops are applied to the mucosa with a moistened cotton swab to avoid dripping liquid medicine into the upper respiratory tract. On the first day of the disease, adults can inject drops every 1-2 hours. From the second day of treatment, they switch to a 3-4-fold administration per day. The duration of treatment is 5-7 days.

Before using the spray, the protective cap is removed from the bottle. You can pre-shake the vial with the contents. The tip of the dispenser is inserted into the nostril, then you need to lightly press the cap. It is advisable to keep the bottle in an upright position. During the day, adult patients can use the spray to inject up to 6 times. The duration of treatment is usually 5-7 days, in rare cases it can be extended up to 10 days.

Before starting treatment, you need to check yourself for individual sensitivity to Pinosol, for which a small amount of it is injected into one nostril, then the condition of the mucosa is assessed after a few hours. If allergy symptoms occur, redness, itching occurs, then treatment with this nasal preparation should be abandoned.

And although the instructions can often be found indicating that the spray can be used after 5-6 years of age, as numerous reviews and practice say, even children of primary school age are not yet able to regulate breathing during the introduction of the drug into the nose.

In the pharmacy network, you can immediately notice that the spray is much more expensive than other dosage forms. But more expensive - this does not mean more effective. In addition, in this case, only the packaging of the medicine determines the high price, and the composition of the spray is completely identical to the composition of Pinosol nasal drops. Of course, the spray is applied simultaneously to the maximum area of the inflamed nasal mucosa. But is it necessary and is it possible for children to use Pinosol in the form of a spray for young children, if there are other forms that are less safe for them?

For children under 14 the best choice there will be drops of Pinosol. This fact is confirmed by numerous reviews of mothers on the use of Pinosol in their children, especially preschool age. Nasal drops are easy to dose, so there is no need to fear for an overdose. It is necessary to bury no more than 3 times a day, introducing 1-2 drops into each nostril.

Pinosol nose drops are great for children of primary school and preschool age. But for preschool children, it is better to administer the medicine using cotton swabs to avoid flowing into the nasopharynx and trachea.

Dosage forms such as Pinosol ointment or cream are used only in cases where dry rhinitis develops, hard-to-remove crusts form in the nasal passages, which is an obstacle to the penetration of nasal drops into the nasal mucosa. In this case, they will be ineffective and even useless.

But there are dosage forms in the form of ointments and creams, one downside - they are very difficult to dose. Therefore, Pinosol can be prescribed to children in the form of an ointment or cream only in rare cases when there is no other way out. By the way, the same recommendations are present in the official information in the leaflet for the drug.

The most correct solution would be to wash the child's nose in any way that is described on this site in order to remove dried crusts and free up the nasal passages for the subsequent administration of Pinosol nasal drops. By the way, with a dry runny nose with the formation of crusts, the use of Pinosol spray will also be completely ineffective.

All components of the drug have a healing effect:

Eucalyptus oil has a disinfecting effect on the surface of the mucosa, as well as on its deep tissues.
Pine oil helps to restore the injured epithelium and contains intense antibacterial substances of natural nature.
Peppermint oil suppresses harmful microflora, relieves irritation, constricts capillaries. As a result, it becomes easier to breathe.
Thymol and guaiazulene are artificially created substances that help fight viruses, microbes and fungi. In addition, they help regenerate cells after diseases of the upper respiratory tract, promote the removal of secretions and prevent infection of the nasal cavity with secondary types of virulent microbes.
Vitamin E contributes to the nutrition of cells.

The drug enhances local immunity and acts prophylactically in the pre-epidemic period for SARS and influenza.

The above medicines are effective against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus. The composition and indications for use of drugs vary slightly.

Some of the information regarding the characteristics of the effect of the solution on human body, missing. The drug is based on the essential oils of medicinal plants, therefore it is safe means for patients. However, it is not recommended to start treating colds without consulting a specialist.

The most common complications are: headache, dyspepsia, blurred vision, flushing, dizziness. To prevent the development of pathology, doctors prescribe symptomatic treatment.

The variety of forms of release of the drug allows you to choose the appropriate method of treatment, based on the diagnosis and personal preferences of the patient:

The information is based on the personal experience of the author and has helped many people, we hope it will help you too. Now back to the article.(amp)lt;(amp)lt;

Usually, treatment with the drug is well tolerated, if there are no contraindications and individual intolerance to individual components. But in some cases, patients may experience unpleasant sensations of itching, burning at the site of application of the medicine. The inflammatory reaction, hyperemia of the mucosa may increase, swelling of the nasal cavity may occur.

Despite the fact that Pinosol is used for the common cold, in some cases it only enhances its course, and does not eliminate the phenomena of rhinitis. With prolonged use, dryness of the nasal mucosa may occur, although the base of the drug is oily.

When these side effects it is better to refuse treatment with Pinosol or consult a doctor about the advisability of extending the course of therapy.

The drug is based on essential oils, which can provoke an allergic reaction even in those patients in whom it has not been observed before. Other side effects may include burning and itching at the site of application, increased swelling of the mucosa.

Pinosol for children: is it possible, instructions, application, reviews

The ratio "price-quality" allows this tool to be popular and in demand. The composition of the medicine includes natural essential oils. This ensures a mild effect of the drug.

Among the side effects, only a possible allergic reaction to the esters of natural oils is noted.

The composition is the same in all cases. Due to the different form of release, the method and intensity of exposure to the surface changes.

The most suitable use of Pinosol for children is nasal drops, the instructions for use prescribe the doses and duration of treatment.

As mentioned above, the drug has a wide spectrum of action, because it exhibits a high antiseptic and antimicrobial effect, well eliminates the manifestations of inflammation of the nasal mucosa, facilitates nasal breathing due to a small vasoconstrictor effect, tk. mucosal edema is eliminated.

It should immediately be noted that Pinosol drops do not have a direct vasoconstrictive effect, like the same Naphthyzin, Galazolin or Farmazolin. Nasal congestion is eliminated by relieving inflammation and swelling of the mucous membrane, but this does not happen very quickly. Therefore, it should be used specifically to treat the causes of acute and chronic rhinitis, and not to eliminate nasal congestion.

Allergic rhinitis Pinosol is not treated, because the drug itself can cause allergic reactions.

This situation very often occurs when inexperienced mothers use Pinosol spray to treat children, which is completely unacceptable for babies. If drops of the medicinal substance get into the respiratory tract, then a very formidable complication can occur - bronchospasm, the removal of which will require a large set of medical emergency measures.

But still, it is better to avoid using this drug until the age of 3 years, although the manufacturer of Pinosol indicates an age of 1 year. Clinical trials prove the complete safety of the drug only for children over the age of 3 years, but only if the child does not have individual intolerance to the individual components of the drug or allergic reactions.

In addition to all of the above, you can not use such a dosage form for children as Pinosol Spray, like all other nasal sprays. Children's body still does not know how to regulate the dose of the medicinal substance that is ingested. If an adult can immediately blow his nose when ingested with an excess of a nasal remedy, the baby is not able to do this on his own.

Runny nose during pregnancy

With a prolonged runny nose, which is not properly treated, it can not only weaken, but over time the scent disappears completely, but also cough develops, taste is lost, serious violation sleep, and in the most severe cases, it completely disappears, the head begins to hurt strongly and constantly.

Also, as a result of the fact that during the bearing of a baby, certain physiological changes occur in the female body. Quite often, future mothers are faced with such an unpleasant phenomenon as rhinitis of pregnant women, in which nasal congestion occurs on its own and will not depend on any infectious disease.

Not only during pregnancy, but also in the normal state, many women choose Pinosol for the treatment of their nose, as it is considered completely safe due to its composition. The basis of this tool are only natural essential oils, which are completely safe.

Before using this or that drug, not only during pregnancy, you must carefully read the attached instructions. The instructions for Pinosol say that it is allowed for use during pregnancy and during breastfeeding but only by indication.

The doctor can prescribe Pinosol to the future mother when diagnosing rhinitis, in the presence of various diseases of the nasal mucosa, which are inflammatory, and also in the period after a recent operation in the nasal cavity.

Therefore, if you have a stuffy nose during pregnancy, then you can use Pinosol, but you must strictly follow all the warnings and recommendations of the doctor.

It is also worth considering the fact that despite a fairly wide range of actions, these drugs may not help everyone. As a result of this, many pregnant women who want to choose not only an effective and high-quality, but also a completely safe drug, may be very disappointed in Pinosol, as it will not bring the desired relief.

Even if a woman has never suffered from allergies, this misfortune can overtake her during pregnancy. A woman's body can show a similar reaction to absolutely any component of the drug, most often to essential oils, sometimes provoking a strong allergic reaction. Therefore, if a woman notices the manifestation of the first signs of an allergy, it is necessary to immediately seek help from a doctor.

It is worth considering the fact that the use of Pinosol in the event of an allergic rhinitis is strictly prohibited. With a runny nose during pregnancy, you can use not only drops, but also an ointment, a spray of Pinosol, since they will spread much better over the surface of the nasal mucosa.
