Understanding Provera (Medroxyprogesterone)

Provera is a medication containing medroxyprogesterone that is used to treat menstrual disorders and delay periods. They work by altering hormone levels in the body.

You can request treatment for period delay via our online pharmacy service. If you'd like to check your eligibility, please proceed to the consultation.

How Does Provera Work to Delay Periods?

Normally, your menstrual cycle is controlled by the rise and fall of estrogen and progesterone levels. Estrogen dominates the first half of your cycle, peaking around ovulation. After ovulation, progesterone takes over, maintaining the uterine lining. If pregnancy doesn't occur, progesterone levels drop, triggering your period as the lining sheds.

Provera contains medroxyprogesterone, a synthetic form of progesterone. By supplying your body with a steady level of artificial progesterone, Provera essentially delays your period by maintaining the uterine lining. The uterine lining is maintained, delaying your period until you stop taking the tablets.

How Much Provera Do I Need to Take to Stop My Period?

To postpone your period with Provera:

  • Begin taking the tablets 2-3 days before your period is due
  • Take one 10mg tablet three times a day at regular intervals
  • Continue the tablets for the duration recommended by your doctor (typically up to 10-14 days)
  • When you're ready for your period to begin, simply stop taking Provera

It usually takes a few days (usually 3 to 7 days) after stopping the tablets for your period to resume as hormone levels rebalance. Your cycle should then return to normal the following month.

How Can I Get Provera?

Provera is a prescription-only medication. Fortunately, at Prescription Doctor, we make accessing the medicines you need simple and discreet.

We offer a quick and easy online consultation service. Just complete a short health questionnaire, and our qualified doctors will assess whether Provera is right for you. If approved, we'll ship your Provera tablets in plain packaging straight to your door as soon as the next working day. No GP appointments or pharmacy trips are required.

Is Provera Right For Me?

Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) may be suitable for delaying periods, but it's not appropriate for everyone. You shouldn't take Provera if:

  • You're pregnant or think you might be pregnant
  • You have unexplained vaginal bleeding
  • You have liver disease
  • You have a history of breast cancer or other hormone-sensitive cancers
  • You have a history of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack

Provera requires careful consideration if you have:

  • Depression
  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Asthma
  • Epilepsy
  • Migraine headaches

Regarding allergies: you shouldn’t take Provera if you're allergic to medroxyprogesterone or any other ingredients in Provera. Allergic reactions can be serious, including rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing.

What Side Effects Can Provera Cause?

Provera is generally well-tolerated, especially for short-term use in period delay. However, some users may experience side effects. The most common side effect is irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting. This can range from light spotting to heavier, unpredictable bleeding. While this can be inconvenient, it's usually not a cause for concern.

Some women report mild nausea when taking Provera. This often improves if the medication is taken with food. Headaches are also possible but are typically mild and short-lived. Mood changes are another possible effect. Some users notice increased irritability or mood swings. In rare cases, more severe mood changes like depression may occur. Weight fluctuations are sometimes reported, though it's unclear if this is a direct effect of the medication.

A Safer Choice for Women at Risk of Blood Clots

If you're looking to delay your period but have concerns about blood clot risks, Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) might be the right option for you. Research shows that Provera is considered a safer alternative because it doesn't convert into ethinyl estradiol in your body. So, unlike some other medications used for period delay, Provera is recommended for women who have a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). This includes:

  • Women who are overweight
  • Smokers
  • Those aged over 35
  • Anyone with other known risk factors for blood clots

Warning: Provera is Not a Contraceptive

Provera is not a contraceptive in its own right – you can still conceive while taking it. Make sure to use condoms or your usual birth control method if you want to avoid pregnancy. Provera isn't designed to avoid pregnancy, only to postpone periods.
