Is It Needed To Take Duphaston For Low Placenta?

hi Doc! i am 12w5d pregnant now, after my ultrasound my OB gyne told me my placenta is low & she prescribed duphaston 10mg to be taken 4x a day for 1 month. I am hesitate to take the medicines since i dont have any bleeding. May you give me an advice if the prescription of my doctor is correct.

Hi,

12.5 weeks is too early to comment on position of placenta. And if you do not have cramps,spotting or bleeding, so do not bother with the Duphaston.
Duphaston dosage is only 10 mg twice a day not four times,but not advisable in your case.
I would advise you to ask the doctor doing your anomaly scan at 20 weeks, to comment on placenta. Till then do not worry.
Hope this helps.

Regards.
