Hi,

Duphaston contains Dydrogesterone that is progesterone used for pregnancy and maintenance of pregnancy. This being a hormone can cause nausea and abdominal symptoms. I would advise you to consult your gynecologist immediately as only she/he can tell you whether the cause is related to medicine or is due to gastrointestinal problems. She alone can tell whether the medicines to be stopped or continued.

Symptomatic treatment with Domperidone and a PPI like Omeprazole may help for your symptoms. Pseudocyesis also can cause similar symptoms and should be considered if you miss the period and yet the pregnancy tests are negative. Follow the advise strictly of your gynecologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
