Hi
Dub 5 MG Tablet is a synthetic form of progestin and has a similar action to the female hormone, progesterone.Side effects occur with hormonal pills but type and duration differs from person to person.Continue the drug for 2 to 3 cycles and watch for the side effects.Watch for any abdominal pain,irregular bleeding,weight loss or gain,sleep disturbances.
Hope that was helpful.Let me know if i can assist you further.
