Hello,
Thyronorm can be safely taken during pregnancy and in fact, it is essential that the hormone defect is corrected as otherwise it may lead to growth retardation and preterm deliveries. As the need for hormone supplementation increases during the course of pregnancy, you may have to increase the dosage from time to time. If your doctor feels that you may go into labor, there is no harm done as you are already term. The medications given are Argipreg powder-a nutritional supplement, Lycored tablet-vitamin supplement, Alivher-sildenafil, used to thicken endometrium, which is not needed in your case and Betalite is betamethasone which is given when delivery is contemplated around 34 weeks to enhance lung maturity. As the latter two are not necessary, please discuss before consuming them. Wish you safe motherhood.
