Meprate 5mg Tablet contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, which is identical to a hormone called progesterone. It is used to treat several conditions such as amenorrhoea (absence of periods); heavy, i

rregular, or painful periods; abnormal bleeding from the uterus, and endometriosis. Menstrual cycle is regulated by various hormones naturally produced by the body.

It also causes the lining of uterus to become thinner, which is helpful in treating endometriosis and endometriosis-related pain. You should not take Meprate 5mg tablet without medical advice. This medicine is not recommended in children.
