Is it safe to take Ecosprin during pregnancy?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 31 years, obese, and five months pregnant female. I had a miscarriage four years before of six weeks. I am hypertensive and with normal sugar. Now BP is under control 130/80 average with Alphadopa-L 100 mg twice daily. My queries are:

1. The doctor prescribed me Ecosprin 75 mg once daily from now onwards. I am feeling pain in anus portion after taking it. Is it a safe drug?

2. My TSH level comes to 5.38 at this time which was normal earlier. He prescribed Thyronorm 25 once daily. Is it required, this medicine?

3. My level-2 USG and triple test are normal. I was taking Progesterone 300 mg SR once daily. My hCG level in the 16th week was 10000. Please advice me. Should I stop taking Progesterone now?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the query.

You are a case of gestational hypertension and hypothyroidism as I can see. I suggest you continue Ecosprin 75 mg daily as its a blood thinner and is safe in pregnancy. The TSH limit should be between 3.2 to 3.8 during pregnancy and hence 25 mcg daily is the correct dosage for you. Progesterones supplementation should be stopped now after 16 weeks of gestation and has no potential extra benefit.

Regards.
