Medroxyprogesterone 10mg Tablets

Medroxyprogesterone 10 mg Tablets contain medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic progestogen that acts similarly to the natural hormone progesterone. It is prescribed for certain menstrual and hormonal conditions, including secondary amenorrhoea (absence of menstrual periods) and abnormal uterine bleeding associated with hormonal imbalance.

Depending on the product's approved indications, medroxyprogesterone acetate may also be used to manage selected cases of endometriosis or to protect the uterine lining in certain patients receiving oestrogen therapy.

This prescription medicine should be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
