Can progesterone tablets be taken together with folic acid?

It is not recommended to take progesterone tablets and folic acid simultaneously, but they can be taken alternately. If taken simultaneously, the interactions between their pharmacological effects may lead to side effects on the body. It is best to take them consecutively with an interval of about 10 minutes. Progesterone tablets can supplement the body with sufficient progesterone, which can play a good role in protecting the fetus. Folic acid can reduce the rate of fetal malformations and should be taken during pregnancy preparation.

1. Folic acid is one of the vitamin B complexes, equivalent to pteroylglutamic acid, which was extracted and purified from spinach leaves by Mitchell, hence its name. It promotes the maturation of young cells in the bone marrow. Lack of folic acid in humans can lead to megaloblastic anemia and leukopenia, which is especially important for pregnant women. Therefore, folic acid is a very important medication.

2. Dydrogesterone tablets are a type of progesterone, mainly used for women with insufficient luteal function, and also for pregnant women with luteal insufficiency leading to threatened abortion, having a role in protecting the fetus.

Precautions during early pregnancy:

1. Avoid or reduce sexual activity during the first 3 months of pregnancy, as the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall of the pregnant woman's body is not yet very tight. Improper sexual activity may cause uterine contractions and lead to miscarriage.

2. If there is vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, it is necessary to seek medical attention immediately. Even if the vaginal bleeding is only minor, you should still go to the hospital immediately, even if the bleeding seems to have stopped.
