5 reviews for Medroxyprogesterone (Provera)
Provera contains Medroxyprogesterone.
Medroxyprogesterone is a man-made form of progesterone, a female hormone. It is used for missing or irregular periods, abnormal bleeding from the womb, endometriosis, and to protect the womb lining in HRT.
What is it used for?
- Missing periods (amenorrhoea) or irregular periods
- Abnormal bleeding from the womb
- Endometriosis
- Protecting the womb lining during oestrogen HRT
How does it work?
Medroxyprogesterone acts like natural progesterone. It changes the womb lining so that it sheds in a controlled way, or stops it from thickening too much.
