Common Use
Dydrogesterone is a synthetic progestogen used to treat various menstrual disorders, infertility, endometriosis, and threatened or habitual miscarriage due to progesterone deficiency. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle and supports pregnancy in early stages. Dydrogesterone mimics the natural hormone progesterone without many of the side effects of older progestins.

Dosage and Direction
The dosage depends on the condition being treated and is prescribed by a healthcare provider. Tablets are usually taken orally once or twice daily with or without food. It is important to follow the exact timing and duration recommended by your doctor.

Precautions
Inform your doctor if you have a history of liver disease, depression, thromboembolic disorders, or breast cancer. Use during pregnancy should be monitored by a healthcare provider. Dydrogesterone should not be used without confirming that you are not pregnant unless used to support early pregnancy under supervision.

Contraindications
Do not use dydrogesterone if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. It is contraindicated in patients with unexplained vaginal bleeding, known or suspected hormone-sensitive tumors, or severe liver dysfunction. Always consult your doctor before starting treatment.

Possible Side Effects
Common side effects may include headache, nausea, breast tenderness, or breakthrough bleeding. In rare cases, allergic reactions or liver problems may occur. If you experience jaundice, severe abdominal pain, or mood changes, seek medical advice.

Drug Interaction
Dydrogesterone may interact with enzyme-inducing drugs like rifampicin, phenytoin, or carbamazepine, which can reduce its effectiveness. Always inform your doctor about any medications or herbal supplements you are taking. Avoid alcohol during treatment unless approved by your physician.

Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with the regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

Overdose
Overdose is rare but may cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or drowsiness. If an overdose is suspected, seek immediate medical attention. There is no specific antidote, and treatment is usually symptomatic.

Storage
Store dydrogesterone tablets at room temperature away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Keep the medication in its original packaging and out of the reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the box.
