Duphaston 10 MG Description
Duphaston is a medication often used in women's health, primarily prescribed to address various gynaecological issues. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dose and frequency, following your doctor's guidance, to avoid self-medication. Duphaston tablet is used to treat disorders related to the female reproductive cycle, infertility, irregular menses, and uterine bleeding. It contains dydrogesterone, a synthetic form of the female hormone progesterone.
Duphaston is the original research brand of Dydrogesterone, first approved in April 1960. Dydrogesterone granules present in Duphaston are manufactured in Weesp, Netherlands. Further, it is tableted in two state-of-the-art manufacturing sites in India.
Duphaston tablet works by imitating the actions of the natural hormone progesterone. Hence, it improves the conditions that occur due to an imbalance of the hormonal levels. You must notify your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms or problems while taking Duphaston: Jaundice or decreased liver function. A significant increase in blood pressure and Migraine-type headache.
Before starting the treatment with Duphaston, identify the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. The medicine may cause breakthrough bleeding and spotting during the initial days of the treatment. If this continues, then inform the doctor. Dydroboon tablet, Dydrofem tablet, Dydrogest tablet, Dydrosure tablet and Drolute tablet are other medicines containing dydrogesterone as an active ingredient.
Before starting the treatment, you must inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. You should also inform them about all the medicines and supplements you take and all the conditions or diseases you suffer from.
While Duphaston does not typically interfere with birth control pills, individuals are advised to discuss their contraceptive methods with their healthcare provider. Additionally, 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.
There is no widely reported association between Duphaston and drowsiness or significant impact on thyroid function. However, any concerns regarding side effects, fertility, or alcohol consumption while on Duphaston should be promptly discussed with a healthcare provider for personalized guidance. Overall, Duphaston plays a role in hormonal balance and may be part of fertility treatments, emphasizing the importance of individualized medical advice for optimal outcomes.
