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?

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

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.

Low Cost Prescription:
What are discount generic prescription drugs? If you ordered with the online drug store, for example generic viagra, do not be surprised to receive medications with a different name. Since generic are bioequivalent (made of the same active chemical elements) to branded pills, but just named differently. Popular and known drugs are manufactured by pharmaceutical companies-inventors, and generic are manufactured by other companies, after patent terms are out.
From a physician's point of view, generic drugs are better than branded prescription medications, for their chemical composition and way of taking are maximally well studied. Means generic drugs are more reliable and safe drugs. Accordingly, risks of eventual side effects are set up to the minimum for the manufacturer.
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) controls the quality of all medications. Before allowing any manufacturer to start clinical tests generics or prescription medications must be registered at the FDA. More over pills can be on sale only they were approved. The methods of control used by the FDA are so strict that not more 1/5 of drugs are approved.
Who manufactures generic drugs? Make sure to first know who manufactures the prescription medications, you intend to purchase. For example, if the generic viagra, proposed by the online drug store, is manufactured in India, means it is a quality and good generic. It is known that India is the biggest and reliable manufacturer of generics. Large parts of generics are made in India. Among them we can name drugs for depression, prescription diet pills, sleeping pills, blood pressure medication, birth control pills, pain medication, slimming pills, asthma medication, impotence medication, stop smoking medication, arthritis medication and many other pills.
How much high quality prescription drugs and generics cost? Be aware of purchasing too cheap prescription drugs. Keep in mind the fact that no one will sell regardless of the profits! That's why any reliable online drug store will never sell quality medication at the same prices it purchases pills from manufacturers. Thus more the online drug store, whose prices for drugs are closed to the prices proposed by other stores. If you find a site where prices are considerably lower than usual do not hurry to purchase. More probably, you do will receive poor quality prescription medications and do will loose your money.
However show attention when purchasing generic and not branded pills! Thus manufacturing and advertising generics is substantially less expensive than doing the same with branded pills, that's why generics are always cheaper! A generic can cost 10, 20 or even 50 times lower than its equivalent branded drug. That's why prices for one generic must be compared only to the prices for another generic, and to the ones for branded pills. If you find on an online drug store generic at a quite lower price than on other stores make the choice in favor of the usual, common price which justifies itself.
Prescription Medication News. Health professionals have been advised that patients who are prescribed anti-psychotic drugs are the least likely to pick up their medicine.
Figures provided by the NHS Information Centre for England show that of all the anti-psychotic drugs prescribed by clinicians, only 85.1% of them are picked up by the patient.
This compares with 98.5% of other drugs that are prescribed. The data, from 145 GP practices and covering the period between 2004 and 2008, shows that the overall collection figure also dropped from 99.6% in 2005 to 98.5% in 2008.
