Medroxyprogesterone (Generic Provera)
Medroxyprogesterone (Generic Provera®) is derived from the female hormone progesterone, a class of medications called progestins, which regulates menstruation and ovulation. It works by stopping the growth of the lining of the uterus and by causing the uterus to produce certain hormones. You may be given this if your menstrual periods have stopped or a female hormone imbalance is causing your uterus to bleed abnormally.
