Overview
Ravimed 5mg Tablet contains medroxyprogesterone acetate 5mg, a synthetic progestin used to treat abnormal uterine bleeding and secondary amenorrhoea (absence of periods due to hormonal imbalance), and as the progestin component of certain hormone therapy regimens.
Medroxyprogesterone acetate works by binding to progesterone receptors in the lining of the womb (endometrium), converting it from a proliferative to a secretory state and helping to regulate and stabilise the menstrual cycle. As part of hormone therapy, it also opposes the effect of oestrogen on the endometrium.
How it Works
Medroxyprogesterone acetate binds to progesterone receptors in the endometrium, transforming it from a growth (proliferative) phase into a secretory phase, and suppresses the release of gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, reducing further hormonal stimulation of the endometrium.
Directions for Use
Take Ravimed 5mg Tablet at the same time each day for the number of days prescribed by your doctor, with or without food. Do not skip doses within a course, as this can lead to irregular breakthrough bleeding.
Dosage
Ravimed 5mg Tablet is usually prescribed as a course of daily tablets over a set number of days each cycle, as individualised by your doctor depending on the condition being treated. Take exactly as prescribed and complete the full course, even if bleeding stops earlier.
