Although pain during pregnancy is caused by physiological changes, it can reach levels that can affect the daily life activity, sleep and work quality of the pregnant woman. If the pain lasts for a long time, it should be treated as it can lead to stress. An evidence-based approach to drug therapy during pregnancy is important for choosing the right drug and reducing fetal risk. It should be kept in mind that non-drug methods may not always be effective and safe in the treatment of pain. This article was written to provide information to both physicians and their patients about drugs that can be used in the treatment of acute and chronic pain during pregnancy. The concerns of the pregnant woman about the problems that she believes may occur during pregnancy due to drug use can be alleviated with accurate and sufficient information.

Gebelikte Ağrı Tedavisi: Farmakolojik Yaklaşımlar

Öz

Gebelikte ağrı, fizyolojik değişimler sonucu oluşmuş olsa da gebenin günlük yaşam aktivitesini, uyku ve çalışma kalitesini etkileyebilecek düzeylere gelebilir. Uzun sürdüğü takdirde strese de yol açabileceğinden tedavi edilmesi gerekir. Gebelikte ilaçla tedavide kanıta dayalı bir yaklaşım, doğru ilacın seçilmesi ve fetal riskin azaltılması açısından önemlidir. Ağrı tedavisinde ilaç dışı yöntemlerin her zaman etkili ve güvenilir olmayabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır. Bu makale, gebelikte akut ve kronik ağrının tedavisinde kullanılabilecek ilaçlar hakkında hem hekim hem de hastalarına bilgi sağlamak amacıyla kaleme alınmıştır. Doğru ve yeterli bir bilgilendirme ile gebenin ilaç kullanımına bağlı gebelikte oluşabileceğine inandığı sorunlar hakkındaki kaygıları bir miktar azalabilir.
