Hi,

Duphaston is having estrogen. It is active female hormone useful in initial stages of pregnancy. It actually helps in the implantation of fertile ovum and development of the placenta. So it is indicated in the first trimester of pregnancy to prevent miscarriage.

No role of Duphaston after 1st trimester. So no need to continue Duphaston till the 7-8th month of pregnancy. She can continue Duphaston till 3 months.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
