hello there,
you had your last period on 3 rd April and you are on duphaston 2 tablets daily since may 20 th. Now you are just having brownish spotting for last 4 days.... so I will suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test with early morning urine sample done.
Duphastone is a hormone- progesterone tablets. so if your pregnancy test is positive, you can continue with this tablet, after doing a ultrasound scan as you are having brownish discharge also.
If the test is negative, you can discontinue this tablet so you will get normal periods.

IT may be because of pregnancy. get a USG abdomen. Brown spotting can be due to inevitable abortion. continue the medications.
