Hi,
Dubagest is a brand name for the hormone
progesterone, which is commonly used in assisted reproductive technology to support
pregnancy. It is generally safe to take Dubagest during conception and pregnancy, as it helps maintain a healthy pregnancy and reduces the risk of
miscarriage.
However, as with any medication, there may be some potential side effects. These can include
dizziness, headache, breast tenderness, nausea, and vomiting. Rarely, more serious side effects such as
blood clots, liver problems, or allergic reactions may occur. It is important to discuss any concerns or potential side effects with your doctor before starting any medication, including Dubagest.
As you mentioned that your doctor prescribed Dubagest before knowing that you were already pregnant, it is important to follow up with your doctor to confirm the appropriate dosage and duration of use for your specific situation. In general, progesterone supplementation is typically prescribed during the first trimester of pregnancy and may be tapered off as the pregnancy progresses. Your doctor will be able to provide specific guidance based on your circumstances.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
