Provera (HRT) Medroxyprogesterone acetate
What is Provera?
Provera is a medication used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help balance hormone levels in the body. It contains the active ingredient medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic form of the female hormone progesterone. Progesterone is important for various functions in the female reproductive system, such as regulating the menstrual cycle and preparing the uterus for pregnancy.
In HRT, Provera is often prescribed to women who have reached menopause to protect the lining of the uterus. It can be used along with oestrogen to relieve symptoms of menopause like hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, low libido, and fatigue.
How does Provera work?
The active ingredient in Provera is medroxyprogesterone acetate, a type of medicine called a progestogen. Its job is to mimic the effects of the female hormone progesterone. It enters cells and attaches to a specific receptor, where it can work. It works by filling in for the hormones that drop during and after menopause. When you take oestrogen as part of your HRT, it can thicken the uterus lining, which may increase your risk of womb cancer. So taking a progestogen like Provera can counteract this effect and work together with the oestrogen to ease menopause symptoms.
What doses are available for Provera?
Provera is available in 2.5mg, 5mg and 10mg tablets. These dosages are used for menstrual issues, endometriosis, and menopause symptoms. It’s also available in higher strengths of 100mg, 200mg and 400mg, but these will mainly be prescribed for specific types of cancer.

Provera (HRT) Medroxyprogesterone acetate
How to use Provera
Depending on what stage of menopause you’re at, your clinician will prescribe you a dosing regimen that you should follow closely.
There are two ways to take Provera:
Sequentially:
- Depending on what dose you’re given, the recommended dose is 10mg per day for 12 to 14 days of each cycle
- Take it at the same time every day with your oestrogen
- Swallow it whole with a glass of water.
Continually:
- The recommended dose is 2.5mg to 5mg every day for 28 days of your cycle
- Take it at the same time every day with your oestrogen
- Swallow it whole with a glass of water.
How long does Provera take to work?
When it comes to menopause, everyone’s different. How long you need to take it can vary, as some women may have to take it for a couple of years while others find their symptoms improve after a few months. Medroxyprogesterone can start to work quickly and can improve your symptoms within a month of taking it. It can take between two and three months of taking it with oestrogen for you to see the full benefits of Provera.
What happens if I make a mistake using Provera?
If you forget to take Provera, take the tablet as soon as you remember, then carry on as normal. Don’t take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. If you take too many Provera tablets, seek urgent medical attention. If you stop taking Provera suddenly, it can cause your symptoms to come back, as well as breakthrough bleeding. It’s important to let your clinician know if you want to stop taking Provera or if you want to alter your dose.
