Q: I am 34 years old. I have been taking Elogen this entire month. I missed three days in between, but continued with the tablets after that. I am pregnant now. I am scared that having taken the medicine, it will affect the baby. Kindly advise.

A:The use of low dose oral contraceptive such as Elogen during early pregnancy is not likely to cause any problem, but it must be discontinued once pregnancy is confirmed.
