Duphaston (dydrogesterone) is prescribed for seven days to ensure your body receives enough hormonal signal to trigger a reliable withdrawal bleed once you stop. Shortening the course to five days may reduce its effectiveness, meaning your period might not start as expected. For the best and safest results, it is highly recommended to complete the full seven-day course exactly as your doctor prescribed. Please consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication schedule.
