dear my wife is pregnant & it is her starting of six month. in initial test Tsh value was found higher side by 0.80 value against recommended. doctor suggested for thyrox 50. and also suggested for duphaston-10 mg. twice a day. Kindly suggested why this duphaston tablet is given to my wife. is it related to thyride?. Even all other test reports of pregnancy is normal.
Hi, Phaeton is a progesterone hormone that is commonly prescribed to support early pregnancy and to relax the uterus. It is preferably used to prevent threatened and habitual abortion (associated with proven progesterone deficiency). It is not related to a thyroid problem, it is safe hence can be taken as prescribed by her doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
