How Long To Take Depin? Side Effect On Baby?

Hi, Am on Depin for 3 times a day and am now in my 37th week. For how long can I continue to take Depin? I started taking it on 32nd week since was getting into pre term labour . Hope the it would not hamper natural labour/ contractions? Also, hope that if I continue to take Depin there would not be any side effect on the baby?
