I'm a bit worried because I accidentally took 2 Zandu Parad tablets a few weeks ago, and I'm currently one month pregnant. The tablets have mercury 30 mg and Khatika 60 mg in them. They're usually used in households for things like protecting grains. I haven't had any symptoms or felt unwell, but I'm concerned about any potential effects on my baby. Could there be any risks or side effects from this? Would love some advice on what I should do next.

if you have consumed it 20 days ago and now pregnant since one month(ie your last periods was around 12th of April I guess) then nothing to worry much as baby wasn't formed yet 20 days ago.. and moreover you consumed safe limit of mercury so only you dint have any symptoms.. if you still have worry then your usg at 10-12weeks wil tel if baby is normal or not as by then all parts of you baby will be formed well..if your stil anxious then consult your physician and obstetrician once..
