Uses of Duphaston Tablet

Benefits of Duphaston Tablet

In Female infertility

Duphaston 10mg Tablet contains progesterone, a female hormone that is important in the regulation of ovulation and menstruation. It is used to cause menstrual periods in women who have not reached menopause but are not having periods due to a lack of natural progesterone in the body. Progesterone helps to prepare the uterus for pregnancy by causing the uterus lining (endometrium) to thicken. This increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective. You may be asked to continue with this treatment for a period after becoming pregnant.

In Pain during menstruation

Duphaston 10mg Tablet is a man-made hormone which replicates the effect of a natural female hormone called progesterone. It counters the effects of another hormone called oestrogen and reduces pain (cramps) during periods. Painful periods have a big impact on everyday life of a woman and there is not always an obvious cause. This medicine is normally used during a particular part of the menstrual cycle. You may have to use painkillers (NSAIDs) as well for rapid pain relief. Ask your doctor about which are most suitable.

In Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

Duphaston 10mg Tablet may help reduce PMS symptoms such as mood swings, anxiousness, tiredness, bloating, breast tenderness and headaches. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, getting plenty of sleep, and using relaxation techniques may also be helpful.

In Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue like the lining of the womb starts to grow in other places. The main symptoms include pain in your lower stomach or back, period pain, pain during and after sex, constipation, diarrhea and feeling sick. It can also make it difficult to get pregnant. Duphaston 10mg Tablet works by preventing the lining of your womb and any endometriosis tissue from growing too quickly. This will help relieve the symptoms you may have. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective and you may need other medicines or procedures to help control endometriosis.

In Heavy menstrual bleeding

Duphaston 10mg Tablet slows the growth of the lining of the womb before menstruation, which reduces the bleeding during menstruation. If heavy periods become such a problem that they interfere with your everyday life, then try taking things a little easier on those days. Some women find that relaxation techniques or yoga help them feel more relaxed and reduce stress. Getting a lot of exercise can also help.

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.

It also helps in the treatment of infertility by stimulating the womb lining to prepare for a pregnancy.
