Medicines in Pregnancy
My wife is now 29 weeks pregnant. Doctor had recommended usual medicines of Iron, Folic Acid, Calcium etc. But 20 days back doctor has prescribed Alamin M Forte, but since it was not available that time locally, I took astymin M forte, which she is taking still. This medicine is a multivitamin which has certain Amino Acids, Namely, L Arginine, L Lysine HCL, DL Methionine,L leucine, L Valine, L Isoleucine, L Phenylalanine,L Tryptophan, L Threonine, L Histidine HCL plus certain vitamins and minerals in it. This medicines is recommended 2 times a day so my wife is taking this 2 times since last twenty days. Also doctor advised another tablet of multivitamin which has 10 mg of lycopene in it. It was suggested to take once a day. My wife is taking it since last 15 days. So my question is : whether amino acids which are mentioned above and lycopene (10 mg) are safe to take in pregnancy?
