Have APS, High Titer Cardiolipin, Beta2-glycoprotein. Had Miscarriage, Advised Prednisolone, Baby Aspirin. Safe?
Hi! I have APS with high titer of cardiolipin and beta2-glycoprotein antibodies. I had one early miscarrige 5 years ago. The doctor subscribed 4mg of prednisone and baby aspirin before conception and probably during the pregnancy. Please give me your opinion about this treatment? Is it safe for mother and baby? Will it help in my situation?
Thanks in advance.
