Question 1

I'm almost 39 weeks pregnant and I've got these annoying red rashes around my belly that are super itchy. Im not sure if theyre from using a razor or what. Is it safe for me to take levocet to help with this? And would it be okay to try just one dose, given I could be heading to the hospital for delivery any day now?

Accepted Answer

. For temporary relief, topical treatments like calamine lotion or a cool compress may be helpful, but make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider to get the most appropriate treatment.

Question 2

I've got my beta hCG value at 149,449 during 6 weeks and 6 days, and my early scan at 4 weeks and 3 days showed a gestational sac and yolk sac. The doctor said to come back on the 20th for a heartbeat check. I'm worried if my hCG level is too highcould that be a problem? Any advice?

Question 3

I recently had unprotected sex and needed an emergency pill, but I couldn't find i pill or Unwanted 72 in Hyderabad. Are these pills banned everywhere now? The pharmacist offered me something called i doz 72 instead. Is this the same thing as the others? Is it safe to take?

Accepted Answer

i-Pill and Unwanted-72 are not banned in India, but availability issues may occur; i-Doz 72, containing levonorgestrel 1.5mg, is an alternative emergency contraceptive pill, considered safe and effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, with similar efficacy to i-Pill and Unwanted-72.
