Brief Answer:
SAFE TO TAKE IN EARLY PREGNANCY

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Dubagest contains natural progesterone, it is a hormone that supports the growing pregnancy.
Vitafol tablets contain folic acid, which is essential for good growth and development of the baby.
You can take both the medications, as they are safe and useful for early pregnancy.
Before taking Dubagest however, a checkup and ultrasound scan should be done, so insist on that.
Folic acid you can take even without a check up.
I wonder how can a proper qualified doctor prescribe these medications without a checkup ?
All the best
