HI, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. POntogest pessary 200mg to 400mg daily once a day is indicated in case of risk of preterm delivery due to progesterone deficiency. ( Dose to be adjusted as per need by treating doctor . It is usually given till the baby is viable ( > 37 weeks ) both developmentally/ physically. & the withdrawn about 1 week before planned delivery.( again to be decided & advised by treating doctor.. according to individual conditions of the patient ) Pontogest contains natural hormone Progesterone.. so there is no harm to baby. Thanks.
