Is duphaston 10mg suggestible for a 5weeks pregnant and having breast cancer in her family history

Hello,

Since duphaston contains progestogen, one of the most important hormones that regulate and enable pregnancy, it also can affect certain types of breast cancer that are directly sensitive to progestogen. That’s the main reason duphaston shouldn’t be used by women who have history of breast cancer. However, if you are already pregnant and you need duphaston to help you keep your pregnancy, I’d recommend you to talk to your ob-gyn and talk to him about any eventual alternative to duphaston. Of course, make sure to mention your family history of breast cancer so that your doctor can give you better advice on weather benefits of using duphostone to keep the pregnancy outweigh the risk of breast cancer.

Wish you all the best,

Nicole
