The usual dosage varies depending on the indication, and it should be administered under medical supervision to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes.
Common side effects are generally mild and may include nausea, headache, and breast tenderness. Contraindications include known hypersensitivity to dydrogesterone or any component of the formulation, active thrombophlebitis, or thromboembolic disorders.
