hi,
Duphaston is prescribed for many conditions that may result from progesterone deficiency. It is used for hormone replacement therapy and to treat irregular or painful menstruation, endometriosis, infertility and to help prevent miscarriage.
Rarely, some women have developed anemia or abnormal liver function while taking Duphaston. Women also can experience an allergic reaction, usually in the form of a rash, to the medication
