My wife took Meprate tablets for irregular periods before realizing she was pregnant. Will taking this medicine cause any harm to the baby or her pregnancy?

Asked by Female, 28 · 1 day ago

Please reassure your wife and have her stop taking Meprate immediately. Meprate contains medroxyprogesterone, a hormone not recommended during pregnancy. However, accidental, short-term exposure in the very early stages of pregnancy rarely causes significant harm or birth defects, and most of these pregnancies progress normally. She should consult her gynecologist as soon as possible. The doctor will likely perform an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy's health and monitor the baby's development. Please avoid taking any further self-prescribed medications.
