Hi,
I have read your query carefully.
I feel you must be having Hypothyroidism & not hyperthyroidism.-
* Thyronorm is to supplement thyroid hormone in case of hypothyroidism( where the hormone is deficient) .Thyroxin is a hormone produced by thyroid gland & it is essential for fetal physical/intellectual growth - taking of the drug becomes essential in hypothyroidism-
* Proluton depot helps in maintainance of pregnancy & is given to avoid abortion.
* Folic acid is helpful in healthy development of neural tube in fetus / avoid congenital defects in spinal making.
So all the three drugs you are taking are not only risk free but essential for your pregnancy. be relaxed!
Thanks,
I find this answer helpful
