The most wonderful time for a woman is waiting for the birth of her child. Therefore, every pregnant woman tries to make every effort for the full and safe development of the fetus in her womb. But pregnancy does not always develop as we would like, and there are various obstacles and health problems for the mother in labor that can threaten the newly born life. Dicinone during pregnancy is prescribed to women who are at risk of losing a child.

When to take Dicinon during pregnancy?
There is nothing worse for a pregnant woman when there is a fear that the unformed child may not be born.
If there is a “threat of miscarriage” or bleeding occurs, the doctor prescribes the patient to take a drug called Dicion. These tablets have hemostatic properties; they restore vascular damage, thereby stopping or preventing bleeding, which usually ends in fetal loss. Problems with blood vessels can also indirectly lead to oligohydramnios during pregnancy, and this is the second problem that can negatively affect the further development of the child. Dicynone during pregnancy is prescribed only if there is a threat of miscarriage. It may be caused by the following reasons:
- Hormonal disbalance.
- Arrogant physical activity.
- Bleeding, the so-called periods during pregnancy.
- Chromosomal disorders.
- The cervix has weak tone.
- Manifestation of infections.
- Placental abruption.
Sudden termination of pregnancy is possible and dangerous in the first trimester, so Dicinon during early pregnancy is very relevant for women with an increased risk.
Dicynon for uterine bleeding In case of uterine bleeding, synthetic drugs are often prescribed that have a beneficial effect on the lining of the uterine cavity. Such a drug is dicinone. Its pharmacological properties include the following: the ability to activate the process of formation of the thromboplastin protein; normalizing blood clotting prevents the formation of blood clots. Dicynone is available in several forms: tablets, injections. This drug has proven its effectiveness in treating bleeding that is localized in small vessels. After taking dicinone (the dosage should be prescribed only by the attending physician), a woman will be able to feel the effect within a few hours. Repeated testing of this drug has shown that the highest results are achieved when taking tablets rather than intramuscular injections. To stop uterine bleeding, experts use the following regimen: two ampoules of dicinone are administered intravenously (can be intramuscularly), after which this drug is prescribed in tablet form every six hours. In order to prevent bleeding, the patient should take this drug orally, starting from the 5th day of the menstrual cycle.
Tranexam for uterine bleeding Tranexam is rightfully considered the first aid for uterine bleeding, since it can very quickly cope with this problem. This drug has a direct effect on the blood clotting process and directly affects plasminogen (inactive). Tranexam is now available in pharmacies, both in the form of tablets and in the form of injections (intramuscular). If moderate blood loss is observed, then tablets will be sufficient. When determining the dosage, the doctor must take into account the patient’s weight and the severity of the disease. Tranexam is often prescribed to prevent uterine bleeding, especially when preparing patients for surgical procedures.
Vikasol for uterine bleeding Vikasol is a synthetic medical drug that can replace vitamin K, which is important for women’s health, and is actively involved in the production of prothrombin. In the absence or insufficient amount of this vitamin, women develop bleeding. After taking Vikasol, patients experience relief only after 12-18 hours, which is why it is not used in emergency care. Despite this, many doctors often prescribe this drug in the complex treatment of uterine bleeding, as well as for preventive purposes. Vikasol is prescribed to pregnant women after the onset of the first contractions to prevent the development of bleeding, which may develop during the onset of the active phase of labor.
Etamsylate for uterine bleeding For menstrual bleeding, doctors often prescribe medications that can significantly reduce the volume of menstruation. A great effect is achieved when taking etamsylate, which has extensive pharmacological properties: it has the ability to stop bleeding; activates the processes responsible for blood clotting and the rate of platelet adhesion; increases the elasticity and stability of capillaries, etc. While taking etamsylate, patients do not experience internal discomfort, since this drug has a smooth effect on the female body. In the process of conducting numerous studies, it was revealed that ethamsylate does not cause sudden blood clotting, which prevents the formation of blood clots. It is prescribed for any type of bleeding, in particular uterine. Very often, etamsylate is included in the treatment program for heavy menstrual flow, as well as otolaryngological, dental and ophthalmological diseases. Oxytocin for uterine bleeding Oxytocin When uterine bleeding develops, the first action of a specialist is to prescribe a drug to the woman that can quickly provide the necessary assistance. Oxytocin, which has a selective effect on the uterus, can stop blood loss. After taking oxytocin, the female body experiences increased excitability of muscle fibers, against the background of which strong contractions begin. This drug can be prescribed both in tablet form and as intravenous injections. Ascorutin for uterine bleeding Ascorutin, which has been actively used in gynecology for many years, can provide real help to women suffering from heavy periods, often developing into uterine bleeding. This medicine contains the following main components: vitamin P (rutin) and ascorbic acid. Its direct effect on the female body is to strengthen the walls of blood vessels, preventing fragility and permeability of capillaries. With long-term use of ascorutin (the duration is determined by the attending physician), tissue regeneration occurs, and the protective functions of the female body are activated, capable of resisting any negative effects. Vikasol for uterine bleeding An effective synthetic drug that can replace and saturate the female body with vitamin K is Vikasol. This drug activates the process of prothrombin production, which has a direct effect on blood clotting. Despite the fact that Vikasol has proven its effectiveness in the treatment of uterine bleeding, its use should be very careful. Like any other hemostatic drug, Vicasol has contraindications, which include: thromboembolism and increased blood clotting. That is why self-administration of this drug is prohibited. All prescriptions must be given only by the attending physician. Etamzilat (injections) for uterine bleeding Etamzilat is a medical drug with hemostatic properties. While taking this drug, patients experience strengthening of blood vessels, an increase in platelet cells in the bone marrow, etc. After prescribing ethamsylate in women, the fragility of blood vessels is significantly reduced, and the level of ascorbic acid in the blood plasma is stabilized. When taking this drug, the effect is observed after 10-15 minutes. Having had a beneficial effect on the patient’s body, etamsylate begins to break down very quickly and is excreted during urination.
Aminocaproic acid for uterine bleeding Aminocaproic acid is a synthetic medical drug often used to stop uterine bleeding. Its prescription should only occur in a hospital, where doctors have the opportunity to regularly monitor the quality of patients’ blood through a laboratory test - a coagulogram. Aminocaproic acid can improve liver functionality and also inhibit the process of antibody formation.
How long can Dicinon be taken during pregnancy?
One-time use is 1 tablet (250 mg).
You need to drink them 3 times a day. This is a nominal dosage. The doctor prescribes a dose for the pregnant woman to take the pills based on her condition and the prerequisites for the threat of miscarriage. Having an overall picture, the doctor determines the course of treatment with Dition, which can last differently for each pregnant woman. The drug is safe in all three trimesters of gestation. Therefore, it can be prescribed both in the first and last month of pregnancy. In addition to tablets, Dition can be administered intramuscularly and intravenously. In the second case, it must be introduced into the body very slowly, so most often it is used drip-wise, combined with other solutions used for intravenous infusions.
Composition and release form
Dicynone is available in tablets or solution for injection. In this drug, regardless of the release form, the active ingredient is etamsylate in a dosage of 250 mg. The tablets also contain additional components:

Do Dicynon have any side effects?
Basically, the drug is well tolerated, so some manufacturers note in the attached instructions that it does not have any side effects, in individual cases only allergies. But there are still other consequences that occur quite rarely, but can still occur in a pregnant woman. Side effects of taking Dition include:
- From the nervous and also central systems: headache, circulatory disorders, dizziness, numbness of the extremities of the arms and legs.
- From the gastrointestinal system: heartburn, heaviness in the abdomen and nausea.
- From the cardiac system: drop in blood pressure. In such cases, not enough oxygen reaches the brain, which causes fainting and dizziness.
- Allergic reaction. As a rule, a rash appears on the skin; in rare cases, there may be swelling.
Many women are concerned about thrush during pregnancy, but it has nothing to do with taking this drug, as many people think.
Due to the fact that the body of the expectant mother is being rebuilt, a hormonal imbalance occurs, the consequence of which may be disruption of the vaginal environment. Having a large number of advantages, Dition is used only when there is a real threat of fetal loss. Only a leading gynecologist, based on tests, can decide whether the drug is worth using and whether the risk of using the drug exceeds the risk of losing the child.
About the drug
The basis of the drug is the substance ethamsylate. It has a hemostatic effect, increasing blood viscosity and stopping or slowing down heavy bleeding. In addition, the medication helps strengthen and restore the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels.
Dicinone, acting on blood cells, increases blood clotting and leads to the formation of platelets. Clusters of these blood cells are directed to the damaged vessel walls and quickly close the wound. This stops the heavy bleeding that bothers the patient.
