Duphaston side effects

Duphaston is a medical preparation used in the therapy of various diseases caused by a deficiency of progestogen in the body of the female. The basic substance of this medication - dydrogesterone, a progestogen analog, actively affects some progestin receptors of the uterus. However, there are no adverse reactions of Duphaston analogs, which are synthetic progestins. The use of Duphaston allows normalizing the progestogen without affecting either ovulation, metabolism, or other processes in the body. In addition, the description of Duphaston suggests that the remedy also has no negative influence on the baby (in case the tablets were taken by a woman during pregnancy).

However, it is extremely rare when using this pharmaceutical, such a side effect as bleeding may occur. In this case, the amount of dydrogesterone taken is increased. Also, there is a likelihood of an individual hypersensitivity to the medication.
