Why was I prescribed Meprate 10mg to take for 10 days starting on the 15th day of my cycle, given that my periods are regular but painful with vomiting, and my CA125 blood test result is normal?
Meprate contains medroxyprogesterone, a hormone similar to the progesterone your body naturally produces. Even with regular cycles, painful periods and vomiting are often driven by an imbalance or sensitivity to prostaglandins?chemicals that cause the uterus to contract violently. By starting Meprate on the 15th day of your cycle, your doctor is helping to stabilize your uterine lining and reduce these intense contractions, which should ease both the pain and the nausea.
