Take duphaston as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Yes dear duphaston is a wonderful progesterone and supports pregnancy the best.
Proluton if given in addition has an even better effect and helps to prevent bleeding further.
I usually give duphaston till 16 weeks of pregnancy and then stop it but would like to continue Proluton till 34 weeks of pregnancy.
Keep taking it as advised and wish you a healthy pregnancy.
Regards
Dr Manisha
