Hi,
Primolut-N or Duphaston are progesterone preparations. .It is given in early pregnancy to supplement low levels of hormone in pregnancy and thus prevent abortion. But there are few chances of birth defects in fetus. The drug is advised to a patient for good effects but side effects may be evident sometimes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
