Hi,
Yes, it can delay the periods. Duphaston is a synthetic progestogen and has a similar action to the female hormone, progesterone.
It helps to regulate the healthy growth and normal shedding of the uterus lining and hence used in the treatment of menstrual disorders such as absent, irregular or painful menstrual periods. Continue taking it as prescribed.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
