Hi,

Thanks for writing to HCM .

Don't worry these both drugs are safe . They have many minor and major side effects but they won't occur in all. They should be stopped and your doctor to be consulted if major side effects occur.

Evatone is oestradiol. Duphaston is dydrogesterone. These are derivatives of normal female sex hormones. These are normally required for normal ovulation . In case of fertility problems these are given from outside.

Side effects of both drugs
Minor- abdominal discomfort, weakness, depression, breast pain, spotting, pelvic pain, headache, weight gain etc.

Major - vaginal bleeding, jaundice, swelling of legs.

Hope I have been helpful .

Regards
