DUPHASTON

Product: DUPHASTON

Duphaston is a medication that contains the active ingredient dydrogesterone, a synthetic form of the female hormone progesterone. This medication is used to correct progesterone deficiencies, helping to regulate menstrual cycles and conditions related to hormone imbalance.

Benefits of DUPHASTON

Duphaston is used to manage several conditions related to progesterone deficiency, including dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), endometriosis, secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods), irregular menstrual cycles, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, pre-menstrual syndrome, threatened and habitual miscarriage, and infertility due to luteal insufficiency. It works by mimicking the natural progesterone hormone in the body, helping to regulate the menstrual cycle and promote fertility.

How to Use DUPHASTON

The dosage and duration of Duphaston treatment depend on the specific condition being treated and the individual's response to therapy. It should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional, typically once or twice daily with or without food. Always follow your doctor's instructions closely.

Contraindications & Drug Interactions

Duphaston should not be used in individuals who have an allergy to dydrogesterone or any other ingredients in the medication, or who have liver disease, cancer of the breast or genitals, abnormal vaginal bleeding, or blood clots. Drug interactions can occur with certain medications such as anticoagulants, rifampicin, and herbal supplements containing St. John's Wort. Always discuss with your doctor or pharmacist about all the medications you are currently taking before starting Duphaston.

DUPHASTON and Fertility

Duphaston is often used to help treat infertility issues related to luteal insufficiency (a condition in which the body doesn't produce enough progesterone). Progesterone helps prepare the body for conception and supports the early stages of pregnancy. By supplementing the body's natural progesterone, Duphaston can help increase the chances of successful conception and maintain early pregnancy.

Possible Side Effects

Duphaston may cause side effects like nausea, headache, breast tenderness, and menstrual spotting or breakthrough bleeding. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor promptly.
