We recently visited the doctor because my wife is pregnant. Two months ago, she had a miscarriage, and the doctor recommended Duphaston. I'm wondering if it's okay for her to take Jigest 10mg as a substitute for Duphaston 10mg. Is it safe for us to make this switch? Would love your advice on this.

Jigest 10mg Tablet and Duphaston 10mg Tablet are not exactly the same, although they are used for similar purposes.

Key Differences

Active Ingredient: Duphaston contains Dydrogesterone, while Jigest contains Micronized Progesterone.

Hormonal Action: Both medications are progestins, but they have slightly different hormonal actions and effects on the body.

Substitution Safety

While Jigest can be used as a substitute for Duphaston in some cases, it's essential to consult your doctor before making any changes to your wife's medication regimen.
