I've been prescribed Fluka 150 TDS for 5 days. Is it really okay to take Fluka 150 three times a day? I'm not questioning the doctor's treatment; I just need to know if it's safe because before, I was told to only take it once a week.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and many soon-to-be moms I know are being advised to get Betnesol injections. My OB-GYN hasnt mentioned it to me. Is it something I should be worried about or consider taking, or is it not necessary?
Hello, congratulations on your pregnancy! Betnesol injections are often given to help mature the babys lungs if theres a risk of preterm birth, but they are not always necessary for everyone. Since your OB-GYN hasn't suggested it, it likely means they don't see the need at this stage, but it's always a good idea to discuss any concerns with your doctor.

I'm pregnant and I've heard that aspirin is safe to take. Can you tell me how many weeks I should be taking it? Should I take it for the entire 9 months or just part of the pregnancy? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?
Aspirin is not recommended for routine use during pregnancy, but low-dose aspirin (60-100 mgday) may be prescribed by a doctor for specific conditions, such as preeclampsia or fetal growth restriction, typically after 12-16 weeks of gestation and under close medical supervision; however, it's essential to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor, as aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding and other complications, especially in the third trimester.
