Brief Answer:
YOU CAN TAKE THE MEDICINE SAFELY.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

1) GARBHAPAL-RASA is an Ayurveda medicine and can be taken SAFELY. It prevents miscarriage and abortion in early weeks. It has significant role for supporting healthy pregnancy. It is also useful to reduce edema developed during pregnancy. It also possesses antioxidant action.

2) You must take Prenatal Vitamin and Folic acid supplements as prescribed by your doctor up to 16 weeks for better development of fetal nervous system. Do periodic check up to your doctor with ultrasound scan. You should avoid heavy work, long journey, uneven surface and take adequate bed rest.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and successful motherhood.

Regards,
Dr S Patra

Hi Doctor,

I'm concerned with the use of medicine because at one place I've read "This medicine contains heavy metal ingredients, hence should only be taken under strict medical supervision."

Can you please clarify.

regards,

Brief Answer:
DETAILS ARE GIVEN BELOW.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

Most Ayurveda Medicine (including this one) contains heavy metal in PURIFIED form to get effective result with REDUCED toxicity. It is NOT harmful in therapeutic doses.

Overdoses should be avoided to get beneficial effect. I suggest you to consult with your treating doctor once before taking this medicine.

Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion.

All the best and good luck.

Regards,
Dr S Patra
