Hi,
Tab Duphaston is a medication commonly prescribed during pregnancy. It contains the active ingredient dydrogesterone, a synthetic hormone similar to the natural hormone progesterone. Duphaston is primarily used to support and maintain the lining of the uterus, which is essential for a healthy pregnancy.
Progesterone plays a crucial role in pregnancy by preparing the uterus for implantation and supporting the development of the fetus. Duphaston helps to supplement the body's progesterone levels, ensuring an adequate hormonal environment for the pregnancy to progress successfully.
The medication is often prescribed in cases where there is a history of miscarriage or threatened miscarriage, as well as in cases of hormone deficiency or certain hormonal imbalances. By supporting progesterone levels, Duphaston can help prevent miscarriage and support a healthy pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
