I am 23 weeks pregnant. Its my 2nd pregnancy. Age of my previous child was 19 month. I delivered hin by c section. Yesterday my Dr. Told me to take duvadilan retard 40 mg twice and also give calcium and vitamin tablet. Earlier I was taken duphaston 10, folvite and ecosprin 75. Now he told me to stop duphaston and folvite. I want to know that is duvadilan safe or is it necessary to take this medicine? What was the purpose of this medicine.

Hello. Duvadilan contains isoxsuprine which is a tocolytic agent (uterine relaxant) and used in cases of threatened preterm labour. However nowadays duvadilan is not recommended to be used and better to be avoided. There are better tocolytis which should only be used in case of threatened preterm labour or in cases of established preterm labour to gain time for antenatal corticosteroid therapy.

Tab duvadilan can be safely taken during pregnancy. It's a tocolytic ,it's given during pregnancy if patient is having irritable uterus or premature labour pains ,or if patient has history of preterm delivery in the past or if the doctor on examination feels that patient may go into preterm labour
