Meprate Tablet is used to treat the absence of menstrual periods (amenorrhea) and abnormal uterine bleeding. Besides this, it also prevents endometrial hyperplasia (thickening of the uterine lining with the risk of cancer) and overgrowth in the lining of the uterus in postmenopausal women who are receiving estrogen hormone replacement therapy. It contains Medroxyprogesterone, which works by replacing the normal hormone medroxyprogesterone functions in the body and treating associated symptoms. It may sometimes cause side effects such as breast tenderness, swelling in other body parts, headaches, migraines, mood swings, depression, acne, tummy (abdominal) pain, back pain, and vaginal bleeding.

Health Queries

I have irregular periods. Sometimes I have light bleeding before my expected date, but my full period still comes on time. What could be the reason for this?

Dr Chandrakanth Jena

Dr Chandrakanth Jena

Pharm D

Light bleeding before your period is often caused by hormonal changes or ovulation spotting (light vaginal bleeding during the middle of the menstrual cycle) and is usually not serious. It may also occur due to stress, thyroid problems, or conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome. If it persists or becomes heavy, please see a doctor for proper evaluation.

I had my period on 10 February, but after 10 days (24 February), I got my period again. What could be the reason for this irregular bleeding, and what medicine should I take?

Dr G Reddy

Getting your period again 10 days after the previous one can sometimes happen due to hormonal imbalance, stress, sudden weight changes, thyroid issues, or side effects of certain medications. In many cases, it may also be mid-cycle spotting (ovulation bleeding), which is usually harmless. However, if the bleeding is heavy, painful, or happens repeatedly, it is best to consult a gynaecologist for proper evaluation. Avoid taking medicines on your own; the doctor may suggest hormonal tablets or tests if needed.

I have a fibroid measuring 60 by 65 mm, and my periods are very painful. What should I do?

Dr S Aneela

Dr S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

A fibroid of this size can cause painful periods and heavy bleeding. Try using a heating pad on the lower abdomen and ensure proper rest during painful episodes. Maintain a healthy diet and avoid excessive stress. Consult a gynaecologist to discuss suitable treatment options for pain relief and fibroid management.

I have PCOD and have not had my periods for the last 6 months, and I also want to lose weight. What should I do to regularise my periods and reduce my weight?

Dr S Aneela

Dr S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

PCOD can cause missed periods due to hormonal imbalance and irregular ovulation. Weight reduction through portion control, regular exercise, and limiting sugary and refined foods can help improve cycle regularity. Focus on steady lifestyle changes instead of crash dieting. Consult a doctor to check hormone levels and get proper treatment to regulate your cycle.
