Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I m in second trimester and my Gynec has prescribed 1 Gyargin pouch a day. I have read many articles citing excess use of L-Arginine is not good during pregnancy. I have been using it since my 4th month and now I m in 5th month of pregnancy. Is it safe for long term use? My BP is under control and not having any preeclampsia. Recently few days ago, got my GTT done and gestational diabetes has been detected for which I need to consult the doctor today again.
