I'm currently using an inhaler called Budamate 200, and I'm just entering my first trimester of pregnancy. I'm worried if it's safe to continue using it during these early months. Could it affect the baby in any way?

Budamate 200, containing budesonide, is classified as a category C medication in pregnancy, meaning its safety is uncertain; however, studies suggest that inhaled corticosteroids like budesonide are generally considered safe during pregnancy, especially when used at low to moderate doses, but consult gynaecologist

I'm really curious if Trazer F Forte is effective in managing PCOD. I've noticed there are two types - Trazer F Forte 6s and Trazer F Forte 10s. Can someone explain what the difference is between these two? Also, are there any alternative treatments I should consider?

Trazer F Forte is a prescription medication containing a combination of folic acid, vitamin B12, and iron, which can help alleviate symptoms associated with PCOD, such as iron deficiency anemia and homocysteine imbalance; the difference between Trazer F Forte 6s and 10s lies in the packaging quantity, with 6s containing 6 tablets and 10s containing 10 tablets
