Hello
Thanks for your query.
The injections contain progesterone which is a hormone that supports the growing pregnancy.
They are given to women with high risk pregnancies, where there is a high risk of miscarriage.
they are safe if given for the correct indication.
Your obstetrician would let you know better what is the reason for them being prescribed to you.
All the best.
