Dr. Please help. I am currently trying to get pregnant after a missed abortion in June. And my doctor put me on duphastone 10 mg twice a day so total 20 mg. I did some research on this and found it is banned in US as it causes foetal abnormalities. I cannot bear another loss and am sure my doctor knows what she is doing but I am really skeptical with the per day 20 mg dose.
Do I need to consult another doctors opinion or is duphastone safe? I am currently in the 2 week wait period before I can check for a pregnancy.

Hello..<br>
duphaston is life saving drug during pregnancy and also for the one who are trying to conceive.. so please neglect such research papers because we have so many papers that a simple paracetamol also affects liver and other systems.. so if you have doubt talk to your present doctor only.. no need of second opinion..

Hi anon. Even i had read on google that duphaston is banned in the US. but we are in India. <br>
Every nation has its own list of bannned medi but in India docs use duohaston under medical allowance only.<br>
Maximum ladies including me have hormonal issues due to lifestyle and end up having issues with concieving. <br>
For the first 3 months of my pregnancy i was also on duphaston and many ladies here on baby chakra too must have taken this.<br>
Baby is a gift from god and u cant predict anything except doing what your doc advises and things will fall in place.<br>
Do not worry you will be fine and keep taking the medi. Hope you have those 2 beautiful pink lines on UPT soon! All the best

Duphaston is prescribed if you have low levels of progestrone. This will help you to get pregnant and sustain it. Doctors will prescribe medicines according to your bodys need. <br>
Trust in your doctor and dont take google seriously.

No 1 : please do not Google about medicines it will throw anything, feel free to post your questions in baby chakra. <br>
No 2: Duphoston is a very good tablet, I had it before getting pregnant, for some it may cause acidity or gas issue apart from that it's safe. Dont worry trust your doctor and follow whatever she says. Tagging <font color ="#3b5998"><b> @616d5a27c1b4770013bcb718 </b></font>
