Can I take duvadilan retard 40 mg?
Can I take duvadilan retard 40 mg from week 15 of my pregnancy onwards? I have a history of one preterm delivery at 23 weeks.
Is it enough to ensure no premature contractions? I've been advised to take one capsule once a day.
How long does one pill work for? And how long does it take to take effect?
