A member asked:

I am early stage of pregnancy. my doctor suggest me to eat gestronal. it is harm my baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gestronal : From what I am able to find gestrenol is a progestin which is used in pregnancy in Malaysia and several other countries to decrease the risk of miscarriage in women who have had 2 or more miscarriages in the past. If you fall into this category, it should be safe to take as prescribed. Hope this helps.
