I've just finished a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, and it's been four days since then, but I still haven't got my period. How long is it usually supposed to take after finishing the medication for periods to start? Should I be concerned?

After taking a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, it is common to experience a delay in the onset of your menstrual period. Typically, withdrawal bleeding occurs 2-7 days after finishing the course of Deviry. If you have not started your period within a week after completing the medication, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

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_ 1. _Active Ingredient_: Duphaston contains Dydrogesterone, while Jigest contains Micronized Progesterone. 2. _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.
