Description
“Duphaston 10mg” refers to a medication containing dydrogesterone, a synthetic progestogen that mimics the effects of natural progesterone in the body.
Here’s a short description:
- Active Ingredient: Dydrogesterone 10mg.
- Drug Class: It belongs to the group of medicines called progestogens or hormonal replacement therapy.
- Main Uses: Duphaston 10mg is widely used to treat various conditions caused by progesterone deficiencies in women. These include:
- Female infertility: Helps prepare the uterine lining for pregnancy and support implantation.
- Pain during menstruation (dysmenorrhea): Helps alleviate cramps and pain.
- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS): Reduces symptoms like bloating, mood swings, and fatigue.
- Endometriosis: Helps manage pain and symptoms by preventing the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus.
- Abnormal uterine bleeding: Regulates and balances the menstrual cycle, reducing heavy or irregular bleeding.
- Prevention of miscarriage: Often prescribed in early pregnancy, especially in cases of threatened or recurrent miscarriage, to support the uterine lining and maintain the pregnancy.
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): Used in postmenopausal women, often with estrogen, to manage menopausal symptoms and protect the uterus from excessive growth.
- Mechanism of Action: Dydrogesterone acts directly on the uterus’s progesterone receptors, helping to regulate the healthy growth and normal shedding of the womb lining. Unlike some other progestins, it generally doesn’t inhibit ovulation.
- Administration: It is an oral tablet, typically taken with water.
- Important Note: Duphaston 10mg is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
