Hi,

They are considered safe for the fetus. Both progesterone and proluton are synthetic forms of female hormone progesterone which is commonly prescribed during early pregnancy which supports and helps in maintaining normal pregnancy. It is mainly used to prevent miscarriage and preterm delivery. It is considered to be safe for your unborn baby.

Proluton Depot Injection is used to prevent premature labor in pregnant women in order to reduce the risk of giving birth too early (preterm birth). It prevents miscarriage and lower the risk of premature birth in women who have had one premature delivery in the past.

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

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
