Hey, I am 16 weeks pregnant and I was prescribed Duphaston since I found out that I was pregnant due to PCOS prior to pregnancy. The dose I am on is 2 tablets of 10mg a day. I just realized that I have forgotten to take my morning tablet. What shall I do? Shall I take two tablets or just forget about the missed dose? Will it have any negative effect on my pregnancy or baby?  Thanks :)
Hi,   Thanks for the query.I understand your query. Duphaston is given in early pregnancy..to protect it by supplementing progesterone hormone (present in duphaston)     Usually it is continued till 4 months of pregnancy... for by this time natural progesterone start secreting.    Progesterone like all other hormones .. must be tsken at prescribed time (  here twice a day .. that is 12 hourly)    You had missed a dose... it should have been taken the moment you remembered  about missing dose...You should not take double dose at a time... continue it as usual. Take care not to forget it again.continue till your treating doctor advises to discontinue.Have regular monthly check up.       Thanks.
