Can pregnant women take glucose?

Pregnant women can inject glucose when they feel frequent nausea and vomiting, or have no appetite at all. This is to prevent excessive hunger or malnutrition in their gastrointestinal tract. However, a detailed examination is still needed to determine whether their body is suitable for glucose injection. Pregnant women must be more cautious when using drug treatments.

Class A drugs: safe for pregnant women, no harm to embryos and fetuses, such as appropriate amounts of vitamins A, U2, C, D, E, etc.;

Class B drugs: relatively safe for pregnant women and basically harmless to the fetus, such as penicillin, erythromycin, digoxin, insulin, etc.

Class C drugs: These drugs have only been proven to cause teratogenicity or kill embryos in animal experiments, but have not been confirmed in human studies. Pregnant women should weigh the pros and cons of the drugs and use them only when the benefits outweigh the cons, such as gentamicin, promethazine, isoniazid, etc.

Category D drugs: Harm to the fetus

Anticancer drugs: can cause deformities, stillbirth, limb deficiency, external ear defects, cleft lip and palate, and hydrocephalus.

Hormonal drugs: It has been reported that girls born to pregnant women who used estrogen in the early stage may develop vaginal adenocarcinoma during puberty and late puberty. Testosterone, a component of the androgen hormone, can masculinize the external genitalia of a female fetus. Before 14 weeks of pregnancy, large doses or continuous use of adrenal glucocorticoids (such as cortisone, prednisone, etc.) may cause stillbirth, premature birth, cleft lip and palate, anencephaly and other malformations. Thyroid hormones also have teratogenic effects.

Antibiotics: Streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin

After pregnancy, there are certain changes in the enzymes in the pregnant woman's body, which have a certain impact on the metabolic process of certain drugs. Drugs are difficult to detoxify and excrete, and can cause cumulative poisoning. During the early stages of pregnancy when fetal organs are forming, drugs can have a certain impact on the fetus, so it is best not to take medicine for a cold. But everything has two sides. There are certain risks in taking medication during pregnancy, but it is not completely useless. The impact of some diseases on the fetus and mother far exceeds the impact of drugs. At this time, you should weigh the pros and cons and use the drugs rationally under the guidance of a doctor.
