I'm a bit anxious about my pregnancy because I had a miscarriage back in February. Now my doctor has suggested taking Susten SR 400 mg in the early stages of this pregnancy. I'm already taking Folvec, Ecosprin 75, and some vitamins. Is it really safe to take this high dosage of Susten SR right now?

Susten SR 400 mg is a high dose of progesterone, typically recommended for women with a history of miscarriage or preterm labor, and while it's generally considered safe, it's essential to follow your doctor's guidance and monitoring, especially when combined with other medications like Folvac, Ecosprin 75, and vitamins, to minimize potential risks and ensure a healthy pregnancy

I'm really concerned about my wife. She started having sudden shivering at night, and it's the third day of her monthly period. There's no fever, so I gave her hot milk and a 650 mg dose of paracetamol. I'm trying to understand what might be causing this. Could it be related to her period, or is there something else going on?

Shivering may be caused due to hormonal imbalance or dehydration and muscle cramps. It is advisable to get a blood test done for safety, but there should be no major cause for concern.

I'm really worried about my 23-year-old wife. She's in her 31st week of pregnancy, and her hemoglobin level is at 9.3. Earlier, her doctor had her on Lupiheme twice daily, but now she's switched to RicherCR and recommended two Revofer injections with NS as IV. I'm concerned if the Revofer injections are safe during pregnancy. We noticed her hemoglobin didn't really go up with just the tablets. Should we go ahead with the injections, or is there hope her levels might increase with the tablets? Can you help us out with some guidance?

Given your wife's low hemoglobin level (9.3) at 31 weeks pregnant, the doctor's recommendation to administer two Revofer (iron sucrose) injections with Normal Saline (NS) as IV is a common practice to rapidly increase iron levels; Revofer is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but it's essential to monitor for potential side effects, such as allergic reactions or hypotension; since oral iron supplements (Lupiheme and RicherCR) haven't significantly increased her hemoglobin levels, IV iron may be necessary to prevent maternal and fetal complications associated with iron deficiency anemia.
