Question About Duphaston

Hi, can I ask what medicine does doctor provide usually during the first trimester? Doctor prescribed duphaston even when I do not have any spotting issues but read about the many side effects. Hence unsure if I should take it. First gynae I visited gave me folic acid and vitamin D to be taken daily. Second gynae suggested to take folic acid daily but vitamin D to once a week and prescribe additional duphaston. #1stimemom #advicepls

Duphaston is perfectly safe and it helps to stabilize the pregnancy. I didn’t have bleeding from the start, but the gynae says duphaston will definitely help to prevent bleeding and cramping. Doctor also told me to take 5mg of folic acid. But no other meds other than that.
