Aim: This study aimed to describe the use of dydrogesterone in the outpatient setting in Al-Kharj. Methodology: This is a retrospective study that includes reviewing the electronic prescriptions of dydrogesterone among outpatients in a public hospital in Alkharj. Results: During the study period between January 2018 to June 2018, 48 patients received dydrogesterone. The age of 41.67% of the patients was between 20 and 29 years. Most of dydrogesterone prescriptions were written by residents (89.58%) and more than 60% of dydrogesterone prescriptions were written by emergency department (60.42%). Conclusion: The present study showed that the prescribing of dydrogesterone was uncommon in the outpatient setting. More studies are needed to explore the frequency of its prescribing in other settings and to explore the prescribing of other medications that are used for gynecological conditions.
