Medroxyprogesterone is a type of female hormone (progestin) that is similar to the progesterone that the body naturally makes and is used to restore normal menstrual periods in women who do not have a period due to decreased progesterone in the body. It is also used to decrease the risk of endometrial hyperplasia (a condition that may lead to uterine cancer) while taking estrogens, treat secondary amenorrhea, and for endometrial cancer treatment.

How is this medication used?

Medroxyprogesterone is usually taken once a day on specific days of the menstrual cycle, depending on the condition being treated. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions closely when taking this medication. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of medroxyprogesterone include changes in menstrual periods, weight gain, headache, stomach pain or discomfort, dizziness, and breast tenderness. More serious side effects can include symptoms of depression, blood clots, sudden vision changes, and yellowing of the skin or eyes. Contact a healthcare provider immediately if serious side effects are experienced.

What are the potential interactions?

Medroxyprogesterone can interact with other medications, including blood thinners, certain cancer treatments, and herbal products that contain St. John's wort. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about all other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
