I am 8 weeks pregnant this time and after 5 days of missed period, I started taking capsule astymin forte M according to prescription of my gynaecologist. I weigh 43 kg. I took astymin 1 capsule per day for 20 days. Now I studied it has essential amino acids and amino acid supplementation is teratogenic. I am much worried .I stopped taking it. Will this harm my baby. I have follow up after 16 weeks now. Is astymin such a dangerous supplement. I am in much guilt and depression. Please help.

Astymin is used as a supplement widely and no side effects seen. The information you read about teratogenicity may be in some other contests and taking for a few days will not affect you even if it is harmful ( which it is not )
