Hi,

Injection Profasi-5000 (human chorionic gonadotropin) given during early pregnancy may be useful in preventing miscarriage (abortion) as it helps supporting and maintaining the pregnancy. Duphaston (dydrogesterone) is a progesterone is also used to prevent first trimester abortion. It can also be taken along with Injection Profasi-5000. Let her continue taking Injection Profasi-5000 as advised by her new doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
