Brief Answer:
There is limited data avilable for that medication

Detailed Answer:
hi dear
I can understand your concern.
There is no clear cut data avilable for that medication.
so it's very difficult to predict the out come of medication.
but to my best knowledge 6 tabs in three months time is a very small dose.
so it should not harm your baby.
but we can't say that it's 100% safe.
I suggest you to go for fetal anomaly scan for your baby at 20 wks .
that will give you detail information about status of baby.
Hope you understand.

Brief Answer:
Yes anomaly scan can detect most of abnormalities with good accuracy

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear
good morning.
in my opinion anomaly scan can detect most of problems with good accuracy.
especially the new 4D scanning devices are very powerful and gives very clear images.
kindly don't get tensed.As I explained you your wife consumed a very very small dose so chances of abnormalities are very less.

in case of head ach she can safely use tablet panadol or tab paracetamol.

Hope this satisfies your query
