Hi doctor, my wife is 7 weeks pregnant and doctor with whom we are consulting has suggested her to take duphaston for 1.5 month. It cost a boom 6000 rs only for this medicine. Is it correct as I have not seen anybody else to take it so frequently even when everything is normal. Also she has asked us to avoid any exercise for a while.

Hello. Duphaston contains dydrogesterone and is prescribed empirically during pregnancy especially with some risk factors to support pregnancy and prevent miscarriage. It is usually not prescribed as a routine.
