I started taking Deviry for a late period and began having light spotting and cramps after the first dose; should I finish the 5-day course or stop taking the medication?

Please feel reassured that experiencing mild cramping and light spotting after starting Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is very common and typically not a cause for concern. These symptoms usually occur as your body adjusts to the hormone. I highly recommend completing the full 5-day course as prescribed. Stopping the medication early can disrupt your cycle further and may prevent the treatment from successfully inducing your period. However, if the cramping becomes severe or the bleeding becomes heavy, please reach out to your doctor.
