How to use Deviry 10mg Tablet
Take this tablet exactly as your gynaecologist has prescribed, with a glass of water. Swallow it whole, preferably at the same time each day so the hormone level stays steady. The number of days per cycle varies with the condition, so follow your doctor's schedule rather than a fixed routine. Do not stop or change the dose on your own.
How Deviry 10mg Tablet works
Medroxyprogesterone acetate is a progestin, which acts like the body's natural progesterone. In women whose own progesterone is too low, it fills that gap, steadies the lining of the uterus and prevents it from overgrowing. This helps regulate irregular or missed periods and eases endometriosis symptoms.
