Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Sometimes duphaston can cause breathlessness as a serious side effect.
So you better consult gynecologist immediately.
Usually duphaston tablet once a day is prescribed for maintenance of pregnancy.
And according to FDA it comes under category D drug in pregnancy.
So before continuing the tablet better to confirm this with your doctor.
Take care.
