Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Lonopil is an anticoagulant injection which prevents blood from getting clotted.

This injection is generally used in women who undergo repeated abortions. But it is not required for you and I prefer you dont take any more injections.

Turning pale has nothing to do with this injection. Dont worry about it
