These medicines are prescribed if you have preterm labour pains because we don't want you to deliver before 37 weeks.
37 weeks is the cutoff period for your baby's lungs to mature. Delivery before 37 weeks means baby's stay in NICU.
To prevent these pains and preterm delivery, these medicines are prescribed.
Next Steps
Do keep a track of your fetal movements. Atleast 10 -12 movements are a must.

Duphaston has no role at 33 weeks
The placenta is secreting this in kilograms
Duvadilan is to stop preterm contractions
Till the effect of the steroid comes in for lung maturity
So to answer your question are these medicines necessary
Do you have contractions
Was an injection given for lung maturity
If the answer to these two questions is no you do not require them
