Could taking Meprate for a week to help with my missed periods be causing my stomach bloating and constipation?

Asked by Female, 21 · 23 days ago

It is very common to experience bloating and constipation while taking Meprate (medroxyprogesterone acetate). This medication mimics progesterone, a hormone that naturally slows down your digestive system, leading to these uncomfortable symptoms. Please be reassured that this is usually temporary and should improve once you finish the medication. To help ease your discomfort, try drinking plenty of water, eating fiber-rich foods, and engaging in light walking. If these symptoms become severe or don't improve after you stop the medication, please reach out to your healthcare provider.
