Hello sir, we have been asked to take duphaston from 6th week of pregnancy and continue to take it till the end of pregnancy. We are feeling lot bloating in stomach and there is absolutely no hunger for food. Moreover feels breathlessness sometimes. We are in 17th week, all reports and ultrasound normal. Are these any side effects of duphaston and is it ok to take it for that long?
