Will Medications During Pregnancy Have Any Side Effects On The Baby?

Hello Chetna, I am Megha (age 28yrs). I had miscarriage thrice earlier within 1-1.5months of preg. This time, I have been lucky and I am 11weeks pregnant now. My Doc has asked me to use corion 5000 from past 1.5 months and for another 2 weeks(once in 4 days) Also Sugest 200mg, thrice a day, and Glycomet 500SR once a day. Now recently doc asked me to use Duvadilan Retard 40mg as well (twice a day) I had 2 Ultra Scans till now and it was normal. Now the next scan is on 1st feb, based on the results my Doc would provide the medication. My query is: Is it normal to use all the above mentioned medicines..are there any side effects on the baby....expecting your response, thanks a lot (0000)

Hello Ms. Megha,
All these medications have been used during pregnancy with no reported untoward effects. In view of your past obstetric history, your doctor has prescribed chorionic gonadotropin injections to help sustain the pregnancy until the placenta takes over the function of hormone production. This is why progesterone supplementation also is being used. Metformin is prescribed when insulin resistance is seen as in PCOD to prevent abortions and gestational diabetes. Duvadilan is a uterine muscle relaxant. Please do not worry, you are on the right track. Take care.
