What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Medroxyprogesterone Acetate Overview
Medroxyprogesterone is a type of female hormone (progestin). Medroxyprogesterone Acetate is similar to the progesterone that your body naturally makes and is given to replace the hormone when your body is not making enough of it. Medroxyprogesterone Acetate has several uses. In women who are not pregnant and not going through menopause, Medroxyprogesterone Acetate is used to treat abnormal bleeding from the uterus and to restore normal menstrual periods in women who have stopped having them for several months (amenorrhea). Medroxyprogesterone is also used as part of combination hormone replacement therapy with estrogens to reduce menopause symptoms (such as hot flashes). Medroxyprogesterone is added to estrogen replacement therapy to reduce the risk of cancer of the uterus. Medroxyprogesterone Acetate must not be used to test for pregnancy.
Medroxyprogesterone Acetate Warnings
Medroxyprogesterone is sometimes used with another medication (a type of estrogen) as combination hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in women after menopause. Combination HRT can rarely cause very serious side effects such as heart disease (for example, heart attacks), stroke, serious blood clots (possibly in the lungs and legs), dementia, and breast cancer. Some of these risks appear to depend on the length of treatment and other factors. Combination HRT should be used for the shortest possible length of time at the lowest effective dose so you can obtain the benefits and minimize the chance of serious side effects from long-term treatment. Combination HRT should not be used to prevent heart disease or dementia. Discuss the risks and benefits of treatment and your personal health history with your doctor. If you take combination HRT, check with your doctor regularly (for example, every 3-6 months) to see if you still need to take it. If you use Medroxyprogesterone Acetate for an extended period, you should have a complete physical exam at regular intervals (for example, once a year) or as directed by your doctor. See Notes section.
