Arginine one sachet daily with a glass of water can be passed to your routine. Little extra rest is sufficient. No need of complete bed rest.

My Dr. gave me duvadilan retard tabs while I was heading 38 weeks of pregnancy after doing a pv exam saying that my baby was lil transverse so take this tabs for 10 days to relax your uterus & so the baby will get enough space to move & wl come to the correct position. Also I was advised to take complete rest for 10 days. I took this as prescribed. Till my due date come n go I had no labor symptoms nd no pain. Dr. gave pitocin injection through iv for some hrs but as no pain nd dilation, stopped iv line and told to walk till night and gave another injection on my side stating it’s for opening uterus. Next morning also no pain nd ended up having c-section. Did I get correct treatment? Was this to delay labor as I had full chances of normal delivery? Was this to relax my contractions nd pain and relax my uterus for section?

It's a vasodilator and relieved mild pain, commonly traded as duvadilan tabs, which is safely used during pregnancy, it helps in relaxing uterus so that the baby gets enough pace to grow.

My impression is that Duvadilan does not help in such conditions. However I strongly beleive that final call must be taken by doctor who has gone into your detailed medical history, who has examined you and has seen all reports.

Because of your prolonged working and standing your doctor prescribed it to prevent premature labour. I advise you to take rest in between. This tablet leads to headache and decrease in blood pressure. So drink lots of fluids.

Is it safe to use duvadilan, argiprime, antibiotics during pregnancy? As I am suffering from diarrhea my doctor recommended to use these medications. But now am feeling better. Can you suggest me please.

Yes safe but not for long. Best to avoid high end antibiotics during pregnancy at least for first 6 months.

Hi, Argirprime is safe in pregnancy. It is advised as the amniotic fluid is less. U can take medication. It will not cause any harm to you or the baby.

Duvadilan is not absolutely needed in fully normal pregnancy. If the doctor started it he or she may a reason for doing it and if you have any doubt you get it cleared
