Hi, I think duphaston is safe to take in breastfeeding. Irregular periods can be due to breastfeeding the baby, because breastfeeding interferes with the hormone level in the body. You can take some medicines like tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding. You can take duphaston also. It is a progesterone and it doesn't affect the breast milk. Hope it helps.
