About Provera (Medroxyprogesterone):
Product Type: Women's Health
Brand name: Provera
Generic name: Medroxyprogesterone
What is the most important information I should know about Provera?
Do not take Provera if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It could affect the development of your baby.
What is Provera?
Provera is a female hormone usually called progesterone. It is important for the regulation of ovulation and menstruation.
Provera is used to treat conditions such as irregular or abnormal uterine bleeding and lack of menstruation.
Progesterone or progesterone-like drugs have been used to prevent miscarriage in the first few months of pregnancy. No adequate evidence is available to show that they are effective for this purpose. Furthermore most cases of early miscarriage are due to causes which could not be helped by these drugs.
These drugs have been used as a test for pregnancy but such use is not longer considered safe because of possible damage to a developing baby. Also more rapid methods for testing for pregnancy are now available.
The Women's Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS) found that postmenopausal women 65 years of age or older who were treated with oral conjugated estrogens plus Provera acetate had an increased risk of developing dementia. It is unknown whether this finding applies to younger postmenopausal women or to women using estrogen only therapy.
Provera may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Provera?
Do not take Provera without the approval of your doctor if you have
a bleeding or blood-clotting disorder
any type of breast or uterine cancer or
liver or gallbladder disease.
Before taking this medication tell your doctor if you have
epilepsy or a seizure disorder
migraines
asthma
kidney disease
heart disease or
diabetes.
You may not be able to take Provera or you may require a lower dose or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above.

Provera is in the FDA pregnancy category D. This means that Provera is known to harm an unborn baby. There is an increased risk of minor birth defects in children whose mothers take this drug during the first 4 months of pregnancy. Several reports suggest an association between mothers who take these drugs in the first trimester of pregnancy and genital abnormalities in male and female babies. The risk to the male baby is the possibility of being born with a condition in which the opening of the penis is on the underside rather than the tip of the penis (hypospadias). Hypospadias occurs in about 5 to 8 per 1000 male births and about doubled with exposure to these drugs. There is not enough information to quantify the risk to exposed female fetuses but enlargement of the clitoris and fusion of the labia may occur although rarely.
Therefore since drugs of this type may induce mild masculinization of the external genitalia of the female fetus as well as hypospadias in the male fetus it is wise to avoid using the drug during the first trimester of pregnancy. Do not take this medication if you are pregnant or if you are planning a pregnancy.
Detectable amounts of Provera enter the milk of mothers receiving Provera. The effect on the nursing infant has not been determined. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I take Provera?
Take Provera exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions ask your pharmacist nurse or doctor to explain them to you.
Take each dose with a full glass of water.
Take Provera with food or milk to lessen stomach upset.
Try to take your doses at the same time each day. Provera is usually taken for a certain number of days each month according to your body's natural cycle.
Store Provera at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Do not take a double dose of this medication unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
What happens if I overdose?
A Provera overdose is unlikely to threaten life. Call an emergency room or poison control left for advice.
Symptoms of a Provera overdose include nausea vomiting fluid retention (swelling of the hands and feet) breast discomfort and vaginal bleeding.
What should I avoid while taking Provera?
Avoid smoking while taking Provera. Smoking greatly increases the risk of blood clot formation.
Avoid excessive salt intake. Too much salt may cause fluid retention and discomfort.
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Provera may increase the sensitivity of your skin to sunlight. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when exposure to the sun is unavoidable.
What are the possible side effects of Provera?

a sudden severe headache;

I have no response to my email address? Customers who have an aol.com, comcast.net or earthlink.net e-mail address may have difficulty receiving our e-mail confirmations due to the spam filters which are run by these providers. If possible, please supply an alternative e-mail address.
What are the drugs you source for us? All drugs that we offer on this site are in their generic form, and listed by their brand name. Every drug in existence is given a generic name upon its creation. The most popular and mass marketed drugs are then given a copyright brand or trade name for sales purposes. This is very similar to the way actors use a stage name. Just as the actor is one person with two names, these drugs are one chemical with two names. Stage names and brand names serve the same purpose, for the public to identify and easily remember the specific drug. Our drugs are manufactured in India, home to an enormous pharmaceutical industry, largely owned and operated by US drug companies. Under international law, Indian patent law allows scientists to reverse-engineer the active molecule of brand name drugs using a different process than the original patent, thereby allowing these manufacturers to obtain a process patent of their own. These drugs, legally made and patented in India without huge development and advertising costs, can be sold legally worldwide, at a fraction of the cost of the name brand they duplicate.
Drug News Update - Parents of teens underestimate own teens' substance use. Parents of teens likely underestimate own teens' substance use, while overestimating marijuana and alcohol use by teens nationally
The latest C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health from the University of Michigan finds that few parents (10 percent) believe their own teens, ages 13 to 17 years old, have used alcohol in the last year and even fewer (5 percent) believe their own teens have used marijuana in the last year.
Those levels are substantially below what teens themselves reported in the latest Monitoring the Future study, where 52 percent of 10th graders reported drinking alcohol in the last year and 28 percent of 10th graders reported using marijuana in the last year.
