Viferon suppositories during pregnancy are prescribed after 12 weeks. But you need to know some features. The question immediately arises: why do pregnant women need medications? natural process.

The catch is that once a woman becomes pregnant, her immune system becomes stressed. In an infected environment the expectant mother will catch some kind of infection faster than others.

If you cannot avoid contact, you will have to gargle with antiseptics, for example, furacillin solution or chamomile decoction.
Once the first hectic 12 weeks of pregnancy have passed, getting sick is no longer so scary, because the resulting placenta begins to protect the future baby not only from infections, but also from unwanted effects some medications. Of course, this does not mean that you can visit crowded places or come into close contact with sources of infections. You need to take care before and after childbirth.
Treatment of colds during pregnancyIf a pregnant woman nevertheless becomes infected, has a cold: a sore throat, a fever, a runny nose or cough, Viferon suppositories will help.

Unfortunately, interfere with the formation of organs, fetal tissues and maturation functional systems may various diseases.
Pregnancy is accompanied by a state of physiological immunosuppression—immune suppression. This condition can lead to a decrease in protective, i.e. the body's defenses, contributing to primary infection, exacerbation of chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases and the development of pregnancy complications. Particularly dangerous are TORCH infections - a group of diseases that can be transmitted in utero from mother to child and cause various birth defects and fetal diseases.

Belyaev Dmitry Alexandrovich
General doctor
In our body there is a protein produced and accumulated in a number of blood cells and epithelial cells of the mucous membranes, known as natural interferon. This protein is necessary to fight various infections, which it recognizes with the help of interferon inducers and markers. A drug such as Viferon contains interferon, similar to natural, which is easily absorbed by the body and is not perceived as “ foreign body" In addition, Viferon allows you to minimize the intake of other medications, which is very important during pregnancy.
In the presence of a fungal infection (candidiasis), in combination with antifungal therapy, this antibacterial and antiviral drug will help you recover. Viferon suppositories contain interferon and are also enriched with vitamins E and C, which explains the antioxidant effect of suppositories.
You should also not ignore the fact that Viferon is not antigenic, which means the risk of developing allergic reactions is minimized.
As a rule, Viferon is not prescribed in the first trimester of pregnancy. The fact is that until this moment, the body takes root and adapts to existence in the presence of an embryo, so there is a need to reduce immune reaction in a natural way. When the adaptation process is completed, there is no need to reduce immunity, and here the use of safe immunomodulatory drugs is justified. And indications for its further use may be infections and viruses such as chlamydia, human papillomavirus, herpes, ureaplasmosis, as well as urogenital infections.
The potential safety of the drug for the fetus is its main feature, which means that Viferon suppositories can be used during pregnancy in accordance with the doctor’s recommendations. Suppositories are administered 1-2 times a day, rectally, i.e. into the rectum with an interval of 12 hours between injections. The fact is that when a suppository is administered rectally, the active substances of the protein preparation can be adsorbed by the blood only after splitting into amino acids, which in turn are a natural element for both the woman’s body and the developing child. This is one of the main reasons why Viferon candles can be used in 
pregnancy period. Also when introducing per rectum it is possible to bypass the "primary passage effect", which means that medicinal composition the candles will reach blood vessels with significantly smaller changes and in greater concentration.
Usually in medicinal purposes A course of treatment for pregnant women is carried out for a period of 5 days, after which it is necessary to take a week break, and then the treatment is extended depending on the specifics of the disease and the purpose of use (treatment/prevention).
During the entire period of treatment, it is necessary to strictly monitor the health status and monitor, regularly doing general clinical tests.
The name of the suppositories is expressed in numbers 1,2,3,4, which reflect the dosage of the drug. As a rule, suppositories No. 2 are used during pregnancy, but in any case one cannot do without consulting an obstetrician-gynecologist.
The drug is well tolerated and has virtually no contraindications except for restrictions on the duration of pregnancy. When used as indicated in recommended doses side effect not found. Adverse events are extremely rare and can be presented in the form of a rash, which disappears on the third day of therapy.
Anyone can get sick and, unfortunately, expectant mothers are no exception. The state of pregnancy is a hothouse period when you need to carefully decide on any outside intervention, including medication. The attending physician always makes a decision based on many factors: the condition of the pregnant woman, tests, possible risks for the fetus and mother when choosing a medicine.
Always selected best option, which will improve the condition of the pregnant woman and will not harm the development of the fetus. The doctor’s goal is not to harm and normalize the condition of the expectant mother, as well as to prevent the pathogen from penetrating the fetus.
