Is taking Utrogestan 200 orally instead of inserting it vaginally harmful?
Patient: hi, I have a similar question than before: Im 8 wweks pregnant and had been ask to take utrogestan 200 for a month( i had abdominal pan , but uterus was fine and no bleeding) however i just realize it was suppose to be taken vaginally and i took it orally!! Im worried it might harm the baby??  I have had horrible headches and migranes since last saturday and they dont stop, I now realize that this might be the cause?? can u tell me if it will harm the baby ..please! Im worried . thank you, alejandra. Doctor: Hello dear,I.understand your concern.In my opinion the utrogestan can be taken orally or vaginally.With vaginal insertion the absorption is better and systemic sideeffects like nausea,headache are less than oral intake.But there is no harm to you or your baby with oral intake.So relax.Take panadol for headache.Avoid painkillers in pregnancy.Best regards....
