Hi,

Duphaston contains dydrotestosterone which is used to treat female infertility, various menstrual problems including painful or irregular periods, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and endometriosis. It helps to restart periods that have stopped before the menopause and to prevent usually heavy period. Constipation or diarrhea and increasing appetite are the common side effects of Duphaston.

Other side effects are nausea, vomiting, headache, breast tenderness and enlargement, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, depression, mood swings, abdominal pain, indigestion, sleeping problems, cough, allergic reactions etc.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Zubayer Alam, General And Family Physician
