General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. I would enlist the drugs given along with their roles in pregnancy for your information. -Doxinate- this is to control morning sickness. -Macfolate- This avoids neural tube defects in fetus, - Susten 300/ Duphaston/ Aq,system 25- All of them are progesterone preparations - given to prevent abortion in ealy pregnancies. The dosage of progesterone given to supplement hormone & prevent abortion ( with history of previous abortion)- depends on personal experience/ point of view of doctor/ estimation of blood levels of progesterone. I think your doctor has started with the hormone to offer support to the fetus till the blood & urine come. So continue with the medicines till you get the reports & doctor confirms the drug schedule. Thanks
