Is It Safe To Take Duphaston Tablet When A Woman Is Four Weeks Pregnant?

Question. Hello sir, I am 4 weeks pregnant now. I had a 6 weeks missed abortion followed by a D&C 2 years ago. The follow up tests for thyroid and Torch and etc were all fine. No other complication felt. I had regular periods throughout. At present also I have no bleeding or other discomfort. I visited my gynae and she has prescribed me 2 tablets daily of DUPHASTON (10 g) along with folic acid. I want to know whether it is safe and necessary for me to take Duphaston at this stage. Are there any side effects of this drug? Does it avoid the chances of miscarriage

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

So sorry to hear about your past problem and wish you all the best for present pregnancy and safe delivery..

As far as intake of Duphaston is concerned, yes it is safe to take during pregnancy as it contains Dydrogestrone that is nothing but synthetic Progesterone and it is given during pregnancy as it helps in maintaining the attachment of the fetus to the uterus wall and thus is helpful is preventing chances of miscarriages..

Therefore you should continue taking it as advised by your gynaecologist and follow all the necessary protective instructions and dietary instructions given to you for safer pregnancy..

No need to worry as Duphaston is helpful in present condition..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
