Medroxyprogesterone injection side effects

Common Questions and Answers about Medroxyprogesterone injection side effects

depo-provera

I first wanted to know about side effects. Second I was reading that this particular drug is not recommended as it could cause some sort of pregnancy issue. Wasn't sure about if that was fact or myth. Any input is appreciated.

anyway Ive been taking the medroxyprogesterone for 2 1/2 days and no significant side effects...a little sluggish feeling kinda blah and dreaming alot more than usual.....

By any chance did you ask the farmacist if medroxyprogesterone had any effects with plan B sometimes certain hormones or medicines may conteract and perhaphs you are pregnant or perhaphs its just plan B side effect. Any how any time u have intercoarse you have 20% getting pregnant. When did you have sex?

Hi EAFarm, I recommend googling the name of this medication and see if you can find out what the possible side effects of this drug are and see if there is any mention of an association with breast cancer. I found a helpful site for looking up side effects of various drugs is www.rxlist.com .

You might want to do a bit more research on the timing of taking this injection It takes a few hours for the side effects to hit and by doing your injection just before bedtime the timing is you are feeling flu-like as you are waking in the morning. As I understand it, if you adjust the timing and do it several hours before bed, the flu-like symptoms occur more while you are asleep. There is good information on the page for Rebif, which is another interferon like betaseron - http://www.

Hi all, I had an injection in summer 2013 and before that I was on the pill for about a week, and took some emergency contraception before all that. On average I was on the pill for just a week and half and had injection that last 3 months. Due to side effects I didn't return for second dose and I didn't take pills again. Can anyone tell me the long term side effects because my body has not been the same again.

ve been on a titration dose for about 5 weeks now and I can still see the the bruise from my first injection. A majority of the other injection sites are red blotches that are about 2 inches in diameter. These marks are mostly visible on my thighs and stomach. Sometimes I get a little residual pain and a red welt. I don't inject in the same area twice, I pre-medicate with Ibuprofen, I pinch, inject, let go, rub, apply Hydrocortisone cream.

I have a 5k walk run same day and would like to participate of I feel well enough afterwards.

Is there anything we can do to ease the side effects.........The high fever was the most difficult to bare for my hubby after the shot......Thanks in advance to u all for giving wonderful suggestions always.......

Hi, I received the depo injection on the 14th of November not knowing that I was at least two weeks pregnant. I found out this morning and was shocked, and now rather concerned. What are the risks of being on the depo injection while pregnant? Can it harm my baby?

Hi everyone! I'm a 2B and just started my treatment 2 nights ago with my first injection. It went really well, and I still don't notice any side effects (sx?). I am taking pegintron and rebetol. Is this normal? I have been reading about all the side effects and had me pretty scared, but so far, I feel fine??

i had similar side effects when coming off the depo shot. I thought i was pregnant and took 3 tests. they went away but it took about 6mo. My docs checked my hormones and pituitary gland and they we all fine. It's probably not the effexor but ck w/ your doc anyway.

Started chemo last Friday, AC- Accelerated Taxol, they gave me an injection to help with low white blood cells and the effects of this only just hit 6 days in, severe pain in my leg joints, has anyone else had the same and can you tell me how long it will last and if it will get worse and spread?

It is my 2nd week on the triple therapy and the side effects that I have been experiencing seen to be very mild. But there are some noticeable changes that I am still trying to get my head around which are: Over active bowel movement - it doesn't mean that I am suffering from diarrhea but probably with helps from a healthy diet regime that I am on at a hospital, I go to a loo at least three times a day Static shocks - I get what it feels like static shocks in my hands and toes.

exactly how bad are side effects from the drugs used for treatment?? i mean will i be so sick from them that i cant function??

t received any relief at all from the injection and teh side effects have been horrible this time.

Hi. How safe is the injection as a contraceptive and is there side effects.

Well, loss of balance, slurred speech, loss of memory and disorientation are not known side effects of Bonista injection, so in a way the neurologist was correct. However, if the symptoms are reappearing with the injections, then yes, there could be a connection, or the injection is causing these symptoms due to some drug interactions, if the patient is on other drugs. Do discuss this with your mother's doctor. Take care!

Ive been on medroxyprogesterone for a wk already to hopefully regulate my period but my breast are very sore. I havent felt this soreness since i was pregnant. I know the soreness is normal but I also feel like my breast feel n look bigger. I barely fit a size 34b for over 3 yrs or so n now it fits a lil tight. Is this normal? Are my breast getting bigger? Does my age have something to do with it (20years old).
