What Is Medroxyprogesterone 5mg?
Medroxyprogesterone is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, sold under the brand name Provera. It works by regulating the growth and shedding of the uterine lining. Doctors prescribe it to restore menstrual periods that have stopped (secondary amenorrhea), to manage abnormal uterine bleeding caused by hormonal imbalance, and to protect the uterine lining in women taking estrogen for menopause. It is available as a 5mg oral tablet and requires a prescription in the United States.
