Meprate is a female hormone that affects ovulation and is classified as a progestin (a kind of progesterone) (the release of an egg from an ovary). It is used to treat amenorrhea, or the lack of menstrual cycles, as well as irregular uterine bleeding. It also protects postmenopausal women on estrogen hormone replacement treatment from endometrial hyperplasia (thickening of the uterine lining, which increases the risk of cancer) and uterine overgrowth.

Meprate comes in a variety of forms that can be taken by mouth, vaginal, muscle injection, and other methods. Meprate is also available as a birth control pill, vaginal ring, and intrauterine (IU) device. Meprate should be taken without food and in the evening or before night. Breast soreness, swelling in other areas of the body, headaches, migraines, mood fluctuations, depression, acne, tummy (abdominal) pain, back pain, and vaginal bleeding are all possible side effects. The majority of Meprate’s negative effects do not require medical treatment and fade away with time. However, if the negative effects do not go away, consult your doctor.
