Hello doctor i m suffering from irregular periods for about 4 to 5 years now i m takint meprate for now but i m reallly puting on weight for the past years could u help me with an alternative? Or should i continue with meprate for my PCOS problem Kindly help me Thank u Arti
Hello, Meprate tablets contain a chemical similar to the female hormone progesterone. It may cause weight gain as a potential adverse effect on some patients. An alternative would be combined oral contraception with low dose or very low dose of estrogen/progesterone. These would be for instance Yam, Marlette, Lo String Fe, Yasmin, etc. I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
