What Is Medroxyprogesterone 10mg?

Medroxyprogesterone is a progestin — a lab-made version of progesterone, a hormone your body produces naturally. Sold under the brand name Provera, the 10mg tablet helps regulate the menstrual cycle when periods have stopped or become irregular due to hormonal imbalance.

Medroxyprogesterone tablets require a prescription and are taken by mouth, typically for a set number of days each cycle as directed by your provider.
