Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 7 weeks pregnant and having mild bleeding from the last seven days. Seven days before I went to a PV scan which showed 5 weeks 5 day fetus with good cardiac activity. I was put on Duphaston BD and Susten OD. After seven to eight days my bleeding is little more and red. I am advised to start tablet Sylate 500 mg thrice daily along with previous tablets of Duphaston and Susten SR. I need suggestion is it right to take so many tablets?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is safe to take these medications in pregnancy. Do not worry about the number of medications as these have been put for you by your gynecologist to support the pregnancy as you had threatened abortion. Based on the scans the baby is totally fine (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Sylate (Etamsylate) is to control the bleeding. As of now try to take adequate rest and avoid straining yourself and keep complete abstinence from sexual intercourse and continue taking Duphaston / Susten SR (Progesterone sustained release). If the bleeding increases further, there can be a risk of miscarriage, so that is why all these supportive medications have been given to you. Goal to push your pregnancy to viability to avoid any loss. Stay positive, everything will settle fine.

Treatment plan

Continue Duphaston/Susten SR and Sylate 500.

Preventive measures

Abstinence, adequate bed rest.

Regarding follow up

Follow up with your obstetrician in case of any cramps or pain or increased bleeding. Follow scans as advised by your obstetrician.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
