I have been detected with endometriosis and my menstrual cramps are unbearable. I usually take 3 combiflam. I have been put on duphaston from day 16 to 26 of periods. I am on a weight loss prog and very worried about the effects of the pill. Is there any other treatment for this or medicine where I won't put on wt. I heard duphaston makes you gain weight.
