Description:

Deviry 10 mg Tablet contains Medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic form of the naturally occurring female hormone progesterone. Medroxyprogesterone is used for various gynecological and reproductive system conditions. It is often prescribed for its ability to regulate menstrual cycles, treat abnormal uterine bleeding, and manage endometrial disorders.

Deviry works by mimicking the effects of progesterone in the body, helping to balance hormone levels, reduce excessive bleeding, and treat conditions like amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and endometrial hyperplasia (a condition where the uterine lining becomes too thick).

Indications:

Deviry 10 mg Tablet is commonly prescribed for the following conditions:

• Irregular or Absent Menstruation (Amenorrhea): To restore normal menstrual cycles in women who do not have periods or experience irregular periods.

• Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding: To treat abnormal bleeding from the uterus that is not related to other conditions, such as fibroids or cancer.

• Endometrial Hyperplasia: To prevent the overgrowth of the uterine lining, which could lead to endometrial cancer.

• Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Often used in combination with estrogen for menopausal women to treat symptoms and prevent conditions like osteoporosis.

• Contraceptive use (in some cases): Medroxyprogesterone is sometimes used as a long-term contraceptive method, though other forms may be preferred for this purpose.

Dosage and Administration:

• General Dosage:

  • For treating amenorrhea or dysfunctional uterine bleeding, the usual dose is 10 mg once a day for 5 to 10 days.

  • The medication may be prescribed for different durations depending on the condition being treated and the individual patient.

• Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT):

  • In combination with estrogen, the usual dose of Deviry is 10 mg for 10 to 14 days each month, depending on the specific regimen prescribed.

• Contraceptive Use:

  • When used for contraception, your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage and duration.

Note: Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. The exact dosage may vary depending on your specific medical condition, so it is important to adhere to your healthcare provider’s instructions.
