Hallow dear,

Duphaston is a progesterone preparation. Progesterone, as the name suggests is a pro gestational hormone; i.e. it supports the stability and continuity of the pregnancy. The placenta produces large amount of progesterone for maintaining the pregnancy.

Since you had POCS, the chances of low progesterone could challenge your pregnancy. Hence, for additional support, Duphaston has been prescribed to you. It will help stabilize your pregnancy.

You can safely tak Duphaston.

I hope your doubt has been clarified.
