Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
By mistake you took "NATUROGEST" orally.
Question :Is it safe for you & baby?
Naturogest is natural micronised progesterone and it is prescribed in pregnancy to prevent recurrent miscarriage w/progesterone deficiency.
It is taken as orally , intramuscular ( if in injection form ), intrauterine , vaginally .So be sure that this is a safe drug not only for you but for your baby also.
Good luck.
