Should Duphaston Be Taken During Pregnancy?
hi doc my wife is 7 weeks pregnant, she is observing continuous vomiting, she is feeling too much weakness. Doctor has suggested her Duphaston tablet twice a day. My wife believes that due to Duphaston her vomiting has been increased. It is worth-mentioning here that scan report shows only pouch not baby. please tell me either she continue duphaston or not...????

Hi.
Duphaston is given to prevent a possible miscarriage or spontaneous abortion. As only the sac is observed and not the fetus inside, there is a risk present of a possible abortion. To avoid this, duphaston has been prescribed. The nausea or vomiting is due to a hormonal surge, and is expected. But please do not discontinue the duphaston at any cost, it could very well save your babys life.
Best wishes.
