Can taking progesterone tablets, such as Meprate, Duphaston, or Provera, to help start your period cause harmful side effects on the body or increase the risk of developing uterine cancer in the future?
Taking progesterone tablets like Meprate, Duphaston, or Provera short-term to start your period is very safe. Any side effects, like mild bloating, breast tenderness, or temporary mood changes, are usually mild and resolve quickly. Most importantly, these medications do not increase your risk of uterine cancer. In fact, by helping your uterine lining shed regularly, they actually protect your uterus and reduce your future risk of uterine cancer. Please feel free to discuss any worries with your doctor.
