Duphaston, whose main active ingredient is Dydrogesterone, which is a potent, orally active progestogen indicated in a various gynecological conditions that result from progesterone deficiency, acts by inducing menstrual bleeding. Progesterone is one of the two main female sex hormones, along with estrogen.
Dydrogesterone, thanks to its ability to regulate the development of the uterine lining, often is used to treat irregular periods and relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome associated with hormonal fluctuations. This regulation can also lead to less painful periods. Other uses of this compound include hormone replacement therapy and to treat irregular or painful menstruation, endometriosis, infertility and to help prevent miscarriage.
Dydrogesterone thus acts by thickening the lining of the uterus in order to ensure that the endometrium of the uterus is thick enough to be shed. As hormones shift after ovulation, bleeding is more likely. Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding between periods) also may occur if the build up of the endometrium from Duphaston use is substantial because the body naturally will shed cells that it isn't using.
The most common side effects associated with Duphaston include bloating, dizziness, headache and nausea. Rarely, some women have developed anemia or abnormal liver function while taking dydrogesterone. Women also can experience an allergic reaction, usually in the form of a rash, to the medication.
Metformin and Duphaston do not interact together and thus do not affect one another's function. Metformin i was initially (and still is) used to control blood sugar in individuals with type 2 diabetes; another very common and effective use of metformin is in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and in metabolic syndrome. Metformin has a host of side effects, and although not very common, it does produce symptoms or urinary frequency, burning, and urgency (you feel the urge to urine many times per day, and barely pass any urine). But be careful as elevated blood sugar in itself causes an increase in urinary frequency, so it may be a good idea to have a fasting blood sugar and a urine analysis (to look for sugar in the urine) done.
