Reviews

Olga. Took this medicine to restore the cycle. Has suffered with this problem, yet have not advised the good gynecologist-endocrinologist. She looked at my tests and prescribed progesterone. The cycle was normalized. But, I'm afraid when I stop stabbing this hormone, everything will go wrong again.

Cyrus. I'm drinking Duphaston. During the first pregnancy, progesterone was prescribed. So my injections did not resolve the bumps for a long time. It is better to drink pills. Although they say that they are not fully absorbed. But, like everything is fine.
