Duphaston is a progesterone that is usually given for pregnancy support in early pregnancy. Your doctor might have prescribed it for delayed periods, so that you have withdrawal bleeding. For this purpose a short course of 10 mg twice a day for 5 days is enough. If it’s for any other purpose, better to clarify your doubts with your doctor.
