Chlorophyllipt for rinsing during pregnancy
Colds in pregnant women, unfortunately, are more likely to develop than we would like. You can protect yourself from negative influences in every possible way, but you still get a sore throat or runny nose. Here the question arises whether it is worth using the long-tested and proven chlorophyllipt for gargling .
Manufacturers note, including in the instructions, that no clinical trials have been conducted regarding the possibility of using chlorophyllipt by expectant mothers. This does not mean that the drug is dangerous, but it does not indicate its safety either.
What should a pregnant woman know about chlorophyllipt for gargling if necessary? This is a drug based on natural ingredients. At the same time, the base is alcohol or oil. In general, there is something in the rinse solution that can cause allergies or intolerances. During pregnancy, a woman’s body is rebuilt in a very unique, individual way. It is possible that intolerance to the alcohol component or the same extract of eucalyptus or myrtle may develop precisely during pregnancy. Therefore, before starting the full use of chlorophyllipt during pregnancy, it would not be superfluous to perform a tolerance test:
- dilute the alcohol solution of chlorophyllipt with an equal amount of water;
- rinse the mouth with the resulting solution in an amount of 50 ml, no more;
- monitor the body's reaction for 8 hours; signs of an allergy may include:
- redness,
- itching,
- swelling of the tongue, lips;
Take the test and then use chlorophyllipt for treatment only after consulting a specialized specialist. Although chlorophyllipt is popular for self-medication, pregnancy is not quite a suitable period for this. Firstly, a doctor will not prescribe a drug to a woman during pregnancy in the form of tablets, an alcohol solution for oral administration, or an oil solution. Secondly, chlorophyllipt will be prescribed if suspicions of tonsillitis or pharyngitis are confirmed, and in this case the doctor will not prescribe more than gargling with chlorophyllipt diluted with water. Thirdly, this drug is not capable of having a teratogenic or toxic effect on the fetus and the woman’s body during pregnancy, but this is nothing more than an assumption, since reliable scientific studies have not been conducted. Thus, to prescribe a drug, it is necessary to take into account the duration and characteristics of pregnancy, the level of fetal development, individual sensitivity - and this is all the competence of a professional physician, sometimes not only a therapist, but also a gynecologist.
How to use alcohol Chlorophyllipt?
In pharmacies, the consumer can purchase an oil or alcohol solution. The instructions for the drugs are different, the dosage and method of administration are different. It is better to give the child oil Chlorophyllipt.
It is forbidden to dilute the product in very hot water; the temperature should not exceed 35 degrees.
If the solution is diluted incorrectly, the dosage is reduced, or poured into hot water, it will lose its properties. The product is diluted before the procedure, the liquid is stirred until smooth. Doctors give the following recommendations:
- after eating, gargle for 10 minutes;
- in the process they pronounce the sounds “e”, “s”;
- It is forbidden to swallow the drug.
Alcohol-based chlorophyllipt can cause a slight burning, tingling, tingling sensation in the throat and mouth. The effect occurs especially often when there are wounds or lesions of the mucous membrane in the mouth. If the feeling is tolerable, then contacting a specialist is not required.
It is believed that alcohol Chlorophyllipt is more aggressive and acts as an additional antiseptic, destroying bacterial infections. In fact, the effectiveness of oil and alcohol preparations is approximately the same. Differs in the manifestation of various allergic reactions. It is often successfully used by patients who are allergic to the oil preparation.

- diseases of the oral cavity - gingivitis, stomatitis and all kinds of damage to the mucous membrane, conditions after tooth extraction, etc. for the prevention or treatment of diseases of bacterial origin;
- respiratory tract diseases - pneumonia, pleurisy, bronchitis;
- damage to the skin and mucous membranes - slowly healing wounds, ulcerations, erosions.
All the diseases mentioned, in order to be susceptible to treatment with chlorophyllipt, must be united by one quality - to be of bacterial origin; chlorophyllipt is powerless against viruses. At the same time, in the case of a viral infection, chlorophyllipt will continue to perform anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antihypoxic and other actions.
Depending on the disease, the form of the drug is chosen. Chlorophyllipt is convenient because it has several forms, the effectiveness of each of which has been tested over years and decades:
- 1% alcohol solution - for internal and external use and, of course, for rinsing the mouth and throat; for inhalation using a nebulizer, this particular form of chlorophyllipt is diluted with a tenfold amount of saline;
