Duphaston is a highly effective hormonal medication containing Dydrogesterone, a potent, orally active synthetic progestogen. Unlike some other progestogens, Dydrogesterone is molecularly very similar to natural progesterone, meaning it provides effective hormonal support with fewer side effects. It is primarily used to treat conditions caused by a lack of natural progesterone in the body.

Duphaston is indicated for a wide range of gynecological conditions associated with progesterone deficiency. It is commonly prescribed for Endometriosis, Infertility (due to luteal insufficiency), and Threatened or Habitual Miscarriage to help stabilize the uterine lining and support early pregnancy. It is also highly effective for regulating Irregular Menstrual Cycles, treating Dysmenorrhea (painful periods), and managing Amenorrhea (absence of periods) when used alongside estrogen.
Consult your doctor before use. While Duphaston is frequently used to support pregnancy, it should only be used under strict medical supervision. It is not a contraceptive and will not prevent pregnancy. Before starting treatment, inform our pharmacist if you have undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, severe liver disease, or a history of blood clots (thrombosis). If you experience sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, or severe headaches, seek medical attention immediately.
The dosage and timing of Duphaston depend strictly on the condition being treated. For cycle regulation, it is typically taken once or twice daily during the second half of the menstrual cycle. For threatened miscarriage, an initial high dose is usually followed by a maintenance dose every 8 hours. Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food.
Note: It is crucial to take Duphaston at the same time(s) each day to maintain steady hormone levels. Do not stop taking the medication or change your dose without consulting your doctor, especially if you are using it to support a pregnancy.
Duphaston is generally very well-tolerated because it does not have the androgenic side effects (like oily skin or hair growth) seen with some other synthetic hormones. Common side effects may include headache, nausea, breast tenderness, or spotting (breakthrough bleeding) between periods. Some women may experience mild dizziness or mood changes.
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the tablets in their original blister packaging to protect them from moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the pack.
Q: Can Duphaston help me get pregnant?
A: If your difficulty in conceiving is due to "luteal phase defect" (not enough natural progesterone to support an embryo), Duphaston can help by preparing the uterine lining for implantation.
Q: Does Duphaston delay your period?
A: Yes, if taken during the second half of your cycle, it supports the uterine lining. Your period will usually arrive a few days after you stop taking the tablets.
Q: Is it safe to take Duphaston during the first trimester?
A: Yes, it is often prescribed during the first trimester to prevent miscarriage in women with a history of pregnancy loss or low progesterone.
Q: Will it make me gain weight?
A: Significant weight gain is not a common side effect of Duphaston, though some women may experience mild bloating or fluid retention.
Q: Do I need a prescription?
A: Yes. Because hormonal therapy requires a precise diagnosis and monitoring, a valid prescription is mandatory at Sanlive Pharmacy.
