Duphaston is the brand name given to it by the company. The name of the medicine is a hormone called dydrogesterone (progesterone). This product is indicated in women trying to conceive if there is proven, documented deficiency of the progesterone hormone (during luteal phase). Once conception has taken place, progesterone hormone is indicated only in pregnanices due to assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF etc. or in cases of habitual abortion (repeated miscarriages). Misuse and overuse of progesterone can lead to a number of side effects including fetal death and spontaneous abortion (more so in the first three months of gestation), musculanisation of female fetus (such as unwanted hair on face), birth defects in babies such as cleft palate and heart defects. Therefore in the United States, the use of progesterone during "known or suspected pregnancy" is banned. During pregnancy, one should take the most minimal mandatory medicines such as folic acid 5mg daily (such as Folet). If there is anaemia, then one should take an iron preparation along with folic acid (such as Probofex), one capsule a day.
Yes. It is safe in pregnancy. To be taken as per advice of your physician.
Yes, it is possible to get pregnant after taking Duphaston, which contains the hormone dydrogesterone often prescribed to support pregnancy or regulate menstrual cycles. If taken as directed during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, it can help maintain a pregnancy. However, its primary function is not as a contraceptive, so if ovulation occurs, pregnancy can still happen. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
