Duphaston (Dydrogesterone) Buyer and Patient Handbook in Singapore
What is Duphaston?
Duphaston is a synthetic progestogen tablets (10 mg) used to treat hormonal disorders in women. It belongs to the class of progesterone-like agents and is indicated for conditions such as luteal phase deficiency, irregular menses, and preparation of the uterine lining for assisted reproduction. The product is approved by the Singapore Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and holds FDA and EMA clearances. It is supplied as oral tablets.
Who Should Use Duphaston?
- Women of reproductive age experiencing luteal-phase insufficiency.
- Patients undergoing in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) or other assisted reproductive techniques.
- Women with irregular menstrual cycles or secondary amenorrhoea.
- Those requiring hormonal support during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
How Does It Work?
Duphaston mimics natural Progesterone, binding to progesterone receptors in the uterus and ovaries. This stimulates the endometrium to become receptive, stabilises the menstrual cycle, and supports early pregnancy. Think of it as a “key” that unlocks the uterine lining, allowing it to thicken appropriately. The medication has a low risk of abuse because it does not produce psychoactive effects.
Why Choose Duphaston?
Choosing Duphaston offers a well-studied, high-purity progestogen with predictable absorption. For patients seeking a reliable hormone supplement, it provides consistent plasma levels and minimal androgenic activity. While off-label uses exist (e.g., certain menstrual-related mood disorders), always discuss them with a qualified healthcare professional.

Reviews
First week on Duphaston and it's a rollercoaster. My spotting stopped almost immediately, which is great, but the bloating is unreal. I look pregnant. Also getting these weird headaches that come and go. My gynae said to push through for at least one cycle, so I'm sticking with it. Taking it right after dinner seems to help a bit with the nausea.
Doc prescribed this to regulate my cycle before IVF. On day 5 now. The fatigue hit me hard by day 3, I could sleep for 10 hours and still feel tired. Mood swings are something else too - cried at a shampoo commercial yesterday. Hoping this is just my body adjusting. Pro tip: set an alarm to take it at the exact same time every day, it makes a difference.
Been on Duphaston for 3 years for endometriosis. It's been a lifesaver for the pain, my periods are finally manageable. The key is to take it with food, otherwise my stomach gets upset. I did gain about 4kg over the first year, but it stabilized. Small price to pay for being functional. Sometimes I split the 10mg pill if I feel my symptoms are mild that month, seems to work fine.
Using it for 8 months for irregular periods. It works, my cycle is like clockwork now. But the breast tenderness is no joke, especially the week before my period. I also noticed my hair shedding more when I first started, but it slowed down after 3 months. Drink lots of water, it helps with the bloating. I skip the occasional dose if I know I'm going out for drinks, doesn't seem to affect me.
Two years on Duphaston for luteal phase defect. It's the only thing that helped me carry my pregnancy to term. The side effects were rough at first - acne breakout and moodiness - but they faded after the first two cycles. Now I don't even notice I'm on it. I take it at 9 PM sharp with a small snack. Don't take it on an empty stomach, trust me on that.
Prescribed for heavy bleeding. It definitely lightens the flow, but the trade-off is constant low-level nausea and this metallic taste in my mouth. I found sucking on a lemon drop right after taking the pill helps with the taste. My skin has actually cleared up, which was a nice surprise. It's okay, not great, but better than the alternative.
My experience is mixed. It completely stopped my spotting, which was the goal. But it also killed my libido, which my doctor didn't warn me about. It's like a switch flipped. I'm less irritable on it, which my husband appreciates, but the other side effect is frustrating. Thinking of asking to lower the dose or try something else after this pack.
Took Duphaston for 10 days to induce a period. It worked, my period came 3 days after finishing the course. But the emotional dip during those 10 days was intense. Felt really down and anxious for no reason. Also had crazy vivid dreams every night. Glad I only needed it short-term, not sure I could handle that long-term. Taking it right before bed helped me sleep through the worst of the moodiness.
