Does Duphaston Intake During Pregnancy Affect The Child?

Yes, I took Duphaston every day for 8 months of my pregnacy, due to a threatened miscarriage. It stopped me miscarrying but I feel that it has affected my child. I need to know if this drug can have had a side affect to my daughter? She is now 38 years old. If so what would the possible symptoms be.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Duphaston may produce certain abnormalities in a male fetus, if taken during pregnancy. It doesn't usually produce any adverse effects in a female fetus.
So don't worry you have done no harm to your daughter by taking Duphaston during your pregnancy.
I find this answer helpful
