How to use
Medroxyprogesterone may be taken with food or on an empty stomach with a glass of water or juice.
Sideeffects
Swelling of hands, feet or lower legs occur if your body retains extra fluid. Blood clots can sometimes occur. This is more likely to happen if you have had blood clots before.

Breast swelling, soreness and/or leaking from the nipple may occur. You may gain or lose weight due to a change in appetite. Weight gain is more common.
Interaction
Other drugs such as aminoglutethimide or rifampin may interact with medroxyprogesterone. Tell your doctor if you are taking these or any other drugs as your dose may need to be changed. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before you start taking any new drugs.
Overdose
Contact 1-800-222-1222 your local poison control center or emergency room immediately.
Notes
Provera may cause dark skin patches on your face. Exposure to the sun may make these patches darker. If patches develop, use a sunscreen or protective clothing when exposed to the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of medroxyprogesterone, take it as soon as you can if it is within 12 hours of the missed dose. If it is over 12 hours since your missed dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your usual dosing times.
Uses
Provera works in two main ways. Firstly it fools the signal pathway between the brain (pituitary) and the Ovaries by increasing the blood levels of another hormone produced in the ovaries called progesterone so in turn the brain thinks the ovaries are producing too many hormones including oestrogen. As a consequence the body switches off the driving signal from the brain by itself - this results in reducing the blood level of oestrogen. Secondly Provera has a direct effect on the tumour via its own receptors called progesterone receptors. Stimulation of these receptors causes the cell to slow its uncontrolled growth and become less aggressive.
Other Uses
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Storage
Store Provera in a tightly closed container at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F / 20 and 25 degrees C.
