Does dufaston help PMS symptoms?
In this small study, all 30 women showed disappearance or weakening of some PMS symptoms after taking dufaston. We need larger studies to be confident in these results.
What they did
Thirty women with PMS received the medication dufaston. Some women took it combined with antidepressants.
What they found
All women showed disappearance or weakening of certain PMS symptoms.
What it means for you
Dufaston may help with some PMS symptoms. However, the study was very small with only 30 women, had no control group for comparison, and does not specify which symptoms improved or by how much.
