Is Loprin Safe To Take During Pregnancy?

Dear Doctor, I am 20 weeks pregnant with my second child. my first baby was healthy, born with normal delivery and my second pregnancy is also uneventful. however, i do not feel the baby s movements except for slight fluttering once or twice a day. the ultra sound shows that baby is absolutely healthy & moving normally. The placenta is in anterior position so may be because of that I do not feel the movements of the baby. However, my doctor has recommended Loprin for increased blood flow so i can feel the baby s movements. Do you think it is safe & necessary to take this medicine? Can it have any side effects for me or my baby?

Hello,

Regarding the query you have let me explain it to you that. Loprin, which is also known as low-dose aspirin, is sometimes prescribed during pregnancy to prevent certain pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, and preterm birth.

Low-dose aspirin has been shown to be safe and effective for pregnant women at high risk for these complications, but it should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare provider. It is important to note that not all pregnant women need to take low-dose aspirin, and it is usually prescribed if there is a specific medical indication so your doctor must have taken that into consideration.

However, aspirin is generally not recommended during the third trimester of pregnancy, as it may increase the risk of bleeding in both the mother and the baby.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shah Hussain, General & Family Physician
