Hello
Thanks for sharing your query ..
From what you have written, it appears that your wife is suffering from threatened second trimester abortion , and a risk of preterm delivery.
For these two conditions, progesterone is routinely given.
Vageston is natural progesterone, and Duphaston is also a form of progesterone.
Both are recommended and safe for threatened abortion.
Tidilan is isoxsuprine which is given to relax the uterus and hence reduce chances of preterm labour.
Both drugs are beneficial. Please read the following link :

Tidilan is not meant for longterm use, and can be stopped once the uterus relaxes.
vageston and duphaston can be continued long term also.
Meanwhile, ask her to rest, avoid stress, avoid sexual activity and maintain hydration.
Take care, and feel free to ask further questions.
