Hi,

Besides other indication, injection Gestone 50, is also used for helping to maintain healthy pregnancy, by helping the uterus grow and preventing contractions during pregnancy. In my opinion, there is very limited role of Etosys-MF tablet in bleeding of pregnancy, though it may have some role in preventing miscarriage by its anti-spasmodic action.

Also, Etosys-MF tablet is not safe to be used during pregnancy. Though, there are very limited studies about its side effects with use during pregnancy. Studies in animals do find its negative role on the developing fetus. Hence, I think that its use should be had during pregnancy taking benefits vs risks into consideration under guidance of your doctor.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
