Like all hormonal medications Dydrogesterone can have side effects. These may include:
Breakthrough bleeding (increase dose), altered liver function with asthenia or malaise, jaundice & abdominal pain. Allergic rash, pruritus, urticaria, oedema, angioedema, haemolytic anaemia.
The use of progestins, in particular medroxyprogesterone, in treating post-menopausal symptoms have been associated with increased risk of blood clots and breast cancer in a study carried out by the Women's Health Initiative. While the study did not study dydrogesterone, it is possible, but not certain, that it too increases these risks.

“The duty of the State toward the citizen is the duty of the servant to its master.... One of the duties of the State is that of caring for those of its citizens who find themselves the victims of such adverse circumstances as makes them unable to obtain even the necessities for mere existence without the aid of others.... To these unfortunate citizens aid must be extended by government—not as a matter of charity but as a matter of social duty.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Separation anxiety is normal part of development, but individual reactions are partly explained by experience, that is, by how frequently children have been left in the care of others....

—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
“The only way to win is to fight on the side of your adversaries.”
—Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
“The machines that are first invented to perform any particular movement are always the most complex, and succeeding artists generally discover that, with fewer wheels, with fewer principles of motion, than had originally been employed, the same effects may be more easily produced. The first systems, in the same manner, are always the most complex.”
—Adam Smith (1723–1790)
