Can Taking Duphaston Cause Abnormalities In The Fetus?
I am fourteen weeks pregnant and I was prescribed Duphaston tablets since the beginning of my pregnancy, mainly in view of a previous miscarriage. However I have never been tested for progesterone levels. Now I read on the internet that duphaston can cause abnormalities in the foetus. Is this true? If yes, how high is the risk of abnormalities?

Hello dear,i understand your concern.In my opinion duphaston is safe to be taken during pregnancy.It is indicated in case of previous history of miscarriage ,any spotting during the present pregnancy etc.So dont worry.It does not cause any harm to fetus or pregnancy .So relax.Avoid physical stress.Take healthy nutritional diet.
