Medozee 10 from Zeelab Pharmacy contains Medroxyprogesterone Acetate IP 10 mg in an uncoated tablet, made by Zee Laboratories at Paonta Sahib. Two things distinguish it. The first is price: at a fraction of what most brands of the same molecule cost, it is the budget option in a category where treatment is often repeated cycle after cycle. The second is the packaging – the tablets come in Alu/Alu blister rather than the usual clear PVC. Aluminium on both faces blocks moisture and light far more completely than plastic, which matters for a hormone stored in Indian humidity. The medicine itself supplies the progesterone a cycle without ovulation never produces, stabilising the womb lining so it sheds cleanly when the course ends. Strip of 10 tablets. Schedule H prescription medicine.

Uses & Benefits

• Treats absent or irregular periods by restoring a predictable cycle
• Controls abnormally heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
• Used to bring on a withheld period (the progesterone challenge)
• Treats endometriosis-related pain as prescribed by a specialist
• Given alongside oestrogen in hormone therapy to protect the womb lining
• Taken as a short, defined course rather than continuously

Directions for Use

• Take it exactly on the days your doctor specifies. This medicine is prescribed as a course tied to your cycle – the dates matter as much as the dose
• Swallow the tablet whole with water, at the same time each day
• May be taken with or without food; with food helps if it upsets your stomach
• Expect bleeding a few days after finishing the course – that withdrawal bleed is usually the intended effect, not a problem
• Do not take extra tablets or extend the course on your own, and tell your doctor if a period does not follow

Precautions

• Rule out pregnancy before starting. Medroxyprogesterone must not be used in pregnancy – tell your doctor at once if you are or might be pregnant
• Do not use it if you have or have had breast cancer, unexplained vaginal bleeding, severe liver disease, or a history of blood clots in the legs or lungs
• Seek urgent care for leg swelling or pain, sudden breathlessness, chest pain, severe headache, or sudden vision or speech changes – these can signal a clot
• Breakthrough spotting, breast tenderness, bloating, mood changes, headache and weight change are the common effects
• Tell your doctor about migraine, epilepsy, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney or liver disease, or depression before starting
• Unexplained or persistent abnormal bleeding needs investigation, not just treatment. Your doctor should establish the cause before a hormone is used to control it

Storage

• Store in a cool, dark and dry place below 30°C, as printed on the pack
• Keep tablets in the Alu/Alu blister until use
• Keep out of reach of children
