cholesterol, otherwise known as "bad" cholesterol. No
effects have been observed on levels of triglycerides and
HDL cholesterol. |

Amen, Curretab, Cycrin,
Medroxyprogesterone, Provera |
| Medroxyprogesterone is sometimes used with another
medication (a type of estrogen) as combination hormone
replacement therapy (HRT) in women after menopause.
Combination HRT can rarely cause very serious side effects
such as heart disease (e.g., heart attacks), stroke,
serious blood clots (e.g., in the lungs and legs),
dementia, and breast cancer. Some of these risks appear to
depend on the length of treatment and other factors.
Therefore, combination HRT should be used for the shortest
possible length of time at the lowest effective dose so
you can obtain the benefits and minimize the chance of
serious side effects from long-term treatment. Combination
HRT should not be used to prevent heart disease or
dementia. Discuss the risks and benefits of treatment and
your personal health history with your doctor. If you take
combination HRT, check with your doctor regularly (e.g.,
every 3-6 months) to see if you still need to take it. |

| Common uses -This medicine is a female hormone
and is usually given to women who do not produce the
proper amount. It is used to reduce menopause
symptoms (such as vaginal dryness). It may also be
used to treat other conditions as determined by your
doctor. Before using -WARNING: Estrogens have
been reported to increase the chance of womb
(endometrial) cancer in women who have been through
menopause, especially in women with a uterus who
receive estrogen-only hormone therapy. Estrogens may
also increase the risk of cancer of the ovary/breast.
Estrogen-containing medicines should not be used to
prevent heart disease. Estrogen given in combination
with another hormone (progestin) for replacement
therapy can infrequently cause heart disease (e.g.,
heart attacks), stroke, serious blood clots, and
cancer of the breast. These risks appear to depend on
the length of time this medicine is used and the
amount of estrogen per dose. Therefore, this medicine
should be used for the shortest possible length of
time at the lowest effective dose, so you obtain the
benefits and minimize the chance of serious side
effects from long-term treatment. Consult your doctor
or pharmacist for details. If you use this medicine
for an extended period, you should be evaluated at
least once yearly (see CAUTIONS section). This
medicine is not effective in preventing/treating a
tendency toward miscarriages nor the threat of
miscarriage. This medicine must not be used during
pregnancy because its use may result in birth defects
or cancer later in the child's life (see CAUTIONS
section). INFORM YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST of all
prescription and over-the-counter medicine that you
are taking. ADDITIONAL MONITORING OF YOUR DOSE OR
CONDITION may be needed if you are using other
vaginal medicines. Drug interactions -Drug
interactions can result in unwanted side effects or
prevent a medicine from doing its job. Use our drug
interaction checker to find out if your medicines
interact with each other. |
