Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Utrogestan are capsules containing micronised progesterone which are given to support the placental function till 14 weeks of pregnancy. Taking two capsules accidentally instead of one is not likely to cause any harm to the baby. You might experience more side effects like nausea, headache, drowsiness, etc. All these effects are likely to subside in 6-8 hours.

Please do not worry. I will again stress that there should be no major cause for worry.

Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.

Wishing you good health.

Regards
Dr. Rakhi Tayal
