I m 18 weeks pregnant. My scan reports are normal but i have lower abdomen pain sometimes. My doc advised me to take susten 100 mg twice daily for 10 days. Is it safe for me and my baby to take this medicine. I am worried because i m reading the side effects of this medicine on the internet.Please advice.
Hello, As your scan is normal, there is no need for worry. You should continue using Austen as prescribed by your doctor. Susten reduces chances of miscarriage and helps in maintain pregnancy, which might be the reason your doctor prescribed it. Due to the growing fetus it is normal to have some lower abdominal pain and discomfort. Discomfort will keep on increasing as pregnancy progresses. I would also suggest you to get your urinalysis done. UTI is very common during pregnancy which will also cause lower abdominal pain. Hope I have answered your query. Wish you good health.
