What Is The Reason For Prescribing Betnezol Injection During Pregnancy And Will It Have Any Effect On The Fetus ?
Hi Doc , I am 29 weeks Pregnant and as of now all the scan reports shows that baby is normal. But i have been prescribed Betnezol Injection and have been taking it for last 2 weeks. They ahave asked mt to take that injection everyweek till 36th week. But i read online that it is a steriod and not good for the fetus and also leads to learing dis-orders. My doctors are not giving me a correct reason for prescribing it. Please advice if i need to discontinue the medicine.
