With Steroid Allergy Is Gestofit 100 Safe During Pregnancy?
I am expecting my second child and my due date is 20th feb. My first delivery was normal. I also had no problem in conceiving again. MY LMP was 13th MAy 2011 and I am two months pregnant. My Doc has prescribed Gestofit 100. Is this safe for me to take considering the fact that I am allergic to steroids? Also, can i withdraw from this medicine all of a sudden?
