Hi,
Duphaston is a progesterone hormone that is commonly prescribed to support early pregnancy and to relax the uterus. It is preferably used to prevent threatened and habitual abortion (associated with proven progesterone deficiency).
It is not related to a thyroid problem, it is safe hence can be taken as prescribed by her doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
