Duphaston is a medication containing dydrogesterone, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. It’s used to treat various gynaecological issues, including irregular periods, infertility, and uterine bleeding. Duphaston works by balancing hormone levels in the body. Always take Duphaston as prescribed by your doctor and inform them about all medications, supplements, and existing medical conditions before starting treatment. Consult your doctor if you experience side effects like jaundice, significant blood pressure increase, or migraine headaches.

While Duphaston does not typically interfere with birth control pills, individuals are advised to discuss their contraceptive methods with their healthcare provider. Duphaston may be prescribed for specific durations during the menstrual cycle, and its usage for managing symptoms of conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis should be determined by a healthcare professional.

Dydroboon tablet, Dydrofem tablet, Dydrogest tablet, Dydrosure tablet, and Drolute tablet are other medicines containing dydrogesterone as an active ingredient.

Duphaston generally doesn’t make you sleepy or affect your thyroid. However, if you have any concerns about side effects, fertility, or drinking alcohol while taking it, talk to your doctor. Always follow your doctor’s advice for the best results.
