Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Dear Dr! How do I take Duphaston 10mg to delay period. My GP said 4days before next period, half tablet in morning and half tablet at night I have 12 pills, and do not want my period for 5 days. Is 1 Pil per day enough and is 4days before period suppose to start advisable i Thx A
Yes, the medication is normally started a few days before the period is due and continued for the length of time the person does not want the period.
Normally 5 mg strength is used though some persons may use higher. Because 5 mg is the normal dose, your doctor has said to take 5 mg (half of the 10 mg strength).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Michelle Gibson James
