Good morning Please help, I take duphaston and estrofem - on the 15th day of taking the pills there was a period - whether to continue taking the drugs until the end of the cycle or stop the dosage? As for the new turn of pills (I start taking them on the 5th day from the start of bleeding) - take them in continuity? I do not know how to approach it, I wait a month for an appointment and I have no contact with the NFZ doctor tel. Thank you in advance for your answer!

Continue to use Estrofem and Duphaston as directed by your doctor, despite bleeding. The occurrence of irregular bleeding may be an adverse reaction of the drugs used. I encourage you to report the occurrence of side effects of preparations. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market. We wrote about how and why to report side effects in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane The method of conducting hormone replacement therapy should be determined by the gynecologist: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/htz-hormonalna-terapia-zastepcza-w-menopauzie I do not have information about m.in whether you should use sequential or continuous hormone therapy. Information on the use of medicines on a continuous basis should be provided by your doctor. The manufacturer recommends using Estrofem every day at a fixed time. After the completion of one package, it is recommended to continue using the drug without taking additional breaks. Based on an individual assessment of the patient's condition, the doctor may recommend a different dosage of the drug: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/27772/estrofem-tabletki-powlekane/ulotka/34089 Duphaston is used depending on the type of therapy used, usually for about 14 days of the cycle: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/25619/duphaston-tabletki-powlekane/ulotka/60940
