I have been taking MEPRATE 10mg daily to delay my period but have been bleeding for the past few days; is this my actual period or just unexpected bleeding caused by the medication?

Asked by Female, 23 · 21 days ago

What you are experiencing is likely "breakthrough bleeding," which is a very common side effect of medroxyprogesterone acetate (the active ingredient in Meprate) when used to delay a period, rather than your actual menstrual period. This happens as the body adjusts to the hormonal changes. Please rest assured this is quite normal. However, if the bleeding becomes heavy or is accompanied by severe pain, it is always a good idea to consult your gynecologist for personalized guidance.
