The answer

It is not permissible to abandon the prescribed medication for a pregnant woman, because it protects the fetus from miscarriage. Causing the expulsion of the embryo after its establishment in the womb is considered forbidden by a group of scholars even before the ensoulment. It is unanimously forbidden if it is after the ensoulment without necessity.
