Common
- Headache
- Nausea
- Breast pain
How to cope with side effects?
The occurrence of side effects varies from person to person. The following are a few ways of dealing with some of the common side effects. However, consult your doctor if these persist.
- Coping with HeadacheMake sure you rest and drink plenty of fluids. Rest in a quiet, dimly lit room. Do not sleep more than you normally would. Do not strain your eyes (for example by looking at a screen). Do not drink alcohol. Headaches are usually temporary and usually go away with time. But, if they last longer or get worse, ask your doctor to recommend a painkiller.
- Coping with NauseaYou can help yourself by eating small, frequent meals rather than large ones and drinking plenty of fluids. Eat slowly. Avoid fatty, fried, spicy and very sweet foods. Eat cold or slightly warm food if the smell of cooked or cooking food makes you feel sick. Get plenty of fresh air. You could also try chewing ginger or drinking ginger tea. Eat bananas to replace potassium in your blood which can drop if you are sick (vomit). Use oral rehydration salts to replace vitamins and minerals lost through being sick. There are some medicines that can help you stop from feeling sick. Speak to your doctor if your condition does not improve.
- Coping with Breast painUse hot or cold compresses on your breasts. You could try some pain-relieving creams or gels. Wear bras which fit well. Wear a soft support bra when you sleep and a good sports bra when you are exercising. Avoid consuming caffeinated drinks as it can increase the discomfort. Limit your salt intake as it contributes to water retention which causes pain and swelling. Talk to your doctor because in many cases, it is possible to treat breast pain with over-the-counter medicines.

How Duphaston Tablet works
Duphaston 10mg Tablet is a progestin (female hormone). It works by regulating the healthy growth and normal shedding of the womb lining. This action helps re-establish a regular menstrual cycle in conditions where a lack of progesterone causes menstrual problems, such as in premenstrual syndrome, painful or absent menstrual periods, and endometriosis. It also helps in the treatment of infertility by stimulating the womb lining to prepare for a pregnancy.

FAQs
Q. For how many days should Duphaston be taken?
The dose and the number of days required to take Duphaston depend on the medical problem you are being treated for. Take the medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. You can take it with or without food, preferably at the same time of each day.
Q. What are the side effects of Duphaston during pregnancy?
Duphaston may cause an increased risk of hypospadias which is a birth defect of the penis involving the urinary opening. This occurs in children whose mothers have taken certain progestogens. However, the chance of developing this increased risk is not yet certain. So far, there is no evidence that taking Duphaston during pregnancy is harmful. Discuss with your doctor the risks and benefits of taking Duphaston during pregnancy.
Q. Is progesterone and Duphaston same?
Duphaston is a man-made synthetic progesterone. However, it is very similar to the hormone “progesterone” made by your body. It is used in conditions when your body does not produce enough progesterone.
Q. Is Duphaston good to prevent a miscarriage?
Duphaston is used to prevent habitual abortion (miscarriage) and possible cases of abortion. Your doctor will advise you regarding the dose and duration of treatment. It is advised that you should follow the instructions for best results.
Q. Who should not take Duphaston?
You should not take Duphaston if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to it or you have a tumor that is made worse by progestogens (such as meningioma). Along with that, if you have irregular or unusually heavy periods and you have not told your doctor then restrain from using dydrogestrone.
Q. What if I forget a dose?
If you forget to take today’s tablet and it is less than 12 hours late, take it as soon as you remember. Continue taking the next scheduled tablet at the normal time. But, if it is more than 12 hours since you should have taken your tablet, miss this tablet out and continue the medication as prescribed. Remember not to take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. Missing a tablet may cause irregular bleeding or spotting.
