Question:
49 years old. Peroids every 20 to 24 days. Heavy 3 days, to where wear tampon and pad. Dr. prescibed medroxypr ac 10 mg to slow flow down. What are the risks of medroxypr
Answer:
Do NOT use medroxy pr ac (medroxyprogesterone acetate, brand name Provera). It is a dangerous drug and has been proven to increase the risk of breast cancer when taken for long periods of time. You are perimenopausal and need to take proper doses of bioidentical progesterone which is the hormone you are lacking. This is what is causing the frequent periods and heavy flow. One brand name of bioidentical progesterone is Prometrium and can be prescribed by any doctor.
