Pharmacology
Dydrogesterone is an orally-active progestogen which produces a complete secretory endometrium in an oestrogen-primed uterus thereby providing protection against the increased risk for endometrium hyperplasia and carcinogenesis induced by oestrogens. It is indicated in all cases of endogenous progesterone deficiency. Dydrogesterone has no oestrogenic, no androgenic, no thermogenic, no anabolic and no corticoid activity.
Dosage & Administration
Always take Presentation 10 mg tablet exactly as your doctor has prescribed.

Contraindications
Known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Known or suspected progestogen dependent neoplasms (e.g. meningioma).
Side Effects
The most commonly reported adverse drug reactions of patients treated with Duphaston in clinical trials of indications without oestrogen treatment are migraines/headache, nausea, menstrual disorders and breast pain/tenderness.
Pregnancy & Lactation
It is estimated that more than 10 million pregnancies have been exposed to Dydrogesterone. So far there were no indications of a harmful effect of Dydrogesterone use during pregnancy. No data exist on excretion of Dydrogesterone in mother's milk. Experience with other progestogens indicates that progestogens and the metabolites pass to mother's milk in small quantities. Whether there is a risk to the child is not known. Therefore Dydrogesterone should not be used during the lactation period.
Precautions & Warnings
Before initiating Duphaston treatment for abnormal bleeding the etiology for the bleeding should be clarified. Breakthrough bleeding and spotting may occur during the first months of treatment. If breakthrough bleeding or spotting appears after some time on therapy, or continues after treatment has been discontinued, the reason should be investigated, which may include endometrial biopsy to exclude endometrial malignancy. If one of the following disorders occurs during use for the first time or gets worse, stopping the treatment should be considered.
- Severe headache, migraine or symptoms that may indicate cerebral ischemia.
- Marked increase in blood pressure.
- Occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE)
Overdose Effects
Duphaston was well tolerated after oral dosing (maximum daily dose is 360 mg). No reports of ill effects from overdose have been recorded. If a large overdose is discovered within two or three hours and treatment seems desirable, gastric lavage is recommended. There are no specific antidotes and treatment should be symptomatic.
