Buy Medroxyprogesterone Tablets

Medroxyprogesterone helps delay your period, which is ideal if you have an important event or holiday when your period is due. This type of medicine is called a progestogen and prevents the breakdown of your uterine lining. 

It acts similarly to a natural hormone in your body that does the same thing, called progesterone. These tablets also prevent the normal drop in hormone levels that would usually signal the start of a period..

Directions

Always take medroxyprogesterone as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you.

Take one 10mg tablet three times a day. You should start three days before you’re due to start your period. You can take them anytime, but try to stick to the same time each day.

Side effects

Like all medicines, these tablets may cause side effects in some people, but these won’t affect everybody. Common side effects may include:

  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Weight gain
  • Irregular bleeding or spotting
  • Acne

Please refer to the patient information leaflet for more information on side effects, including potentially serious side effects.

Warnings

Most adults and girls who have started their periods can take medroxyprogesterone tablets; however, they are not suitable for everyone. You should consult your prescriber before taking this medication if you:

  • Are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have diabetes, epilepsy, asthma or gallstones
  • Have had a heart attack
  • Have ever had an allergic reaction to medroxyprogesterone or any other medicine

Medroxyprogesterone tablets do not work as a contraceptive, and you could get pregnant while taking them. It’s important to use another method of contraception, such as condoms.

Storage information

Store in a cool, dry place out of sight and reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date, referring to the last day of the month stated on the packaging. Do not throw away any medicines via wastewater or household waste.
