🧬 Introduction – What is Duphaston 10mg (Dydrogesterone)?

Duphaston 10mg, manufactured by Abbott India Pvt. Ltd., contains Dydrogesterone, a synthetic hormone similar to naturally occurring progesterone. It is commonly used in gynecology for menstrual disorders, support during fertility treatments, and endometrial maintenance. Unlike other progestins, Dydrogesterone has no androgenic or estrogenic activity, making it safer for long-term use in women.

This drug is widely recommended in luteal phase support, for secondary amenorrhea, pre-menstrual syndrome, and as part of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
