Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1] Please do not panic.
2] Primolut depot injection is not harmful in pregnancy. Infact it helps to protect pregnancy.
3] Please put faith in your treating doctor, all things will be fine.
4] Tablet PRIMOLUT N is not to be used during pregnancy, as it contains Norethisterone -a hormone not to be used in pregnancy. But Injection PRIMOLUT depot contains Hydroxyprogesterone , which like natural progesterone hormone- which is protective for pregnancy.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
Dr Purushottam
