And is it safe to take it till the mid of my 9th month ? Thank u
Cyclogest and Primolute are progestational medicines which help stabilising pregnancy, particularly in earlier stage.
However, you had brown vaginal bleeding which denotes old bleeding or blood mixed with decaying tissue. At 27 weeks of pregnancy if there is brown bleeding, you have to confirm that the baby is viable and there is no risk to the life of baby. Ultrasonography will reveal the condition of the baby; so also it will help to locate the site of bleeding. If baby is safe, you may go for these medicines that have been prescribed to you,
If unfortunately the baby is jeopardised, the pregnancy needs to be terminated without delay. Delay may be associated with complications like heavy bleeding (DIC), Kidney failure, infection, etc.
Please get the condition of the baby assessed before you start progestational medicines.
