Duphaston to be discontinued in the UK

According to this page on Netdoctor...

March 2008: The manufacturer is withdrawing this medicine from the market for commercial reasons. If you regularly take this medicine you should make an appointment with your doctor to discuss alternative treatments.

Previously I was on Provera for this, and that made me mad. As I like my current combination, any suggestions for alternatives?

Found this while googling due to the exact same reasons. If you're also on oestradiol hemihydrate, you might want to look into seeing if you can get prescribed Femoston and Femoston-conti to make up the same dose.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I am currently phasing off the Dupahston, and initally without a replacement. I did see my doctors (see later posts under the medical or transition tags) and am currently waiting for a suggestion to replace it.

In the meantime, I'll see how my moods go after coming off - now down to half every night, and no major problems so far.

Kind regards,
Suzy
