Provera 10mg
Provera 10mg is one of 3 strengths in which Provera (Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) is supplied. The full range is 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg. This page covers what the 10mg strength is used for and how it fits into typical dosing.
Forms and dosages
Provera is supplied as oral tablets in 2.5, 5 and 10mg strengths. For HRT alongside estrogen, typical dosing is 2.5–5mg daily continuous or 5–10mg daily for 12–14 days each month (cyclic). For abnormal uterine bleeding, 5–10mg daily for 5–10 days. For secondary amenorrhoea, 5–10mg daily for 5–10 days. Take at the same time each day; food does not significantly affect absorption.
Indications
Provera is approved for amenorrhoea, abnormal uterine bleeding due to hormonal imbalance, and prevention of endometrial hyperplasia in postmenopausal women receiving estrogen. According to current menopause guidelines, micronised progesterone is now generally preferred over MPA for HRT because of evidence suggesting lower breast cancer and cardiovascular risk, but Provera remains widely used and is an effective alternative.
