It is really up to your wife as to whether or not she feels the need to continue to take this medication for the rest of her life. By no means is this medication necessary for survival, in my honest opinion. Has she talked to her doctor about other options yet?

Hi!!!
Meprate increases weight even more. To treat any gynec problems one thing doctor advise is to reduce weight. Green sprouts & regular walk helps reducing weight and solves many problems.

Please do not continue or take life long any tablet without a review from a doctor. For tiredness you should check your HB Counts in blood, because after stopping Meprate heavy bleeding would have been there. Moreover, I was prescribed Meprate for reduction of thickness of Uterine wall not for thyroid. After stopping the medicine, I had undergone Ultrasound test. The uterine thickness was reduced to 5 cm from 12 cm and at the same time HB counts was also reduced from 12 to 9.

I had heavy vaignal bleeding with clots. Underwent hysteroscopy followed by Polyptecmy. I was put on meprate , 1 tab per day. first cycle went normal. Started with meprate again on day 5 and resumed with meprate as advised. I got periods in 16th day and was put on Primlout N. Its 11 days since i am on this medication. Initially , i was advised to take Primlout as 3 times day for 5 days, than twice a day for 5 days and than once a day for 11 days. Bleeding was nominal and kind of stopped when i completed the first course of five days...but resumed when i had to follow the other cycle of Primlout twice a day for next 5 days... m advised to roll back to 3 tablets.. want to check if its normal or i need to worry...Is it advisable to stop the medication???
