I don't know where I found this, but I want to know what it is!! ## There is a 60mg Osphena tablet manufactured by Shionogi INC that matches this description. It is an estrogen receptor modulator, it's used to alleviate pain during intercourse in menopausal women. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, anxiety, double vision and fainting, as listed by the FDA. Is there anything else I can help with? ## It's more oval than oblong, does that make a difference? ## B H on one side blank on the other is 500mg acetaminophen

I've have not had a period for over 10 yes. I'm really feel shame. How do I build myself back up? ## Hello, Dorry! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. However, there is no reason to feel shame, it's not something you can control. Sometimes a woman's hormones become imbalanced and they may not experience their periods, there is nothing you did that caused it and nothing you could have done to prevent it. The NIH lists various other reasons it may happen, such as menopause, perimenopause, unusual weight loss, extreme exercise, some health conditions and some medications. Are you on any medications? Do you have any diagnosed health conditions? Have you consulted your doctor to see what's causing the problem? How old are you?

I have taken Tamoxifin for 3 years after a single Mastectomy.I quit having regular periods last November2013.For the last 16 days I have been bleeding .It is a light flow.Is this something to worry about.Saw my Oncologist last month,got "the all clear".Has anyone else had this experience? ## Hello, Aine! How are you? Is the bleeding still going on? You need to have this checked, because the Tamoxifen can sometimes cause some issues that may require medical treatment. They are rare, so it's most likely nothing to worry about, but best to proceed with caution. Are you on any other medications? ## Definitely check out Tamoxifen has a risk for causing Endometrial Cancer

I had to have a complete hysterectomy at the age if 19 due to cancer. I was put on estrogen 2mg. I was on it for years and then they found a mass in both breast so I had to have surgery and have them removed. It wwasn't cancer. They rrefused to put me back on hormone replacement so for five years things just kept getting worse. I went to a new ob/gyn and he prescribed me the estrogen/methyl 1.25/2.5. The first bottle i got was name brand and had no issues. Now I had to switch to mail order pharmacy because if my insurance or pay 100% of the cost if I chose to go to a different place so I had to switch. They sent me a 90 day supply of the generic and now i have this awful rash on my chest. I have not switched any bath soap, laundry detergent or anything else. This has been the only c...

I have been prescribed Medroxyprogesterone 10mg for 10 days. How long are you supposed to wait after taking the Medroxyprogesterone, to have unprotected sex? I've had irregular periods all my life, but my partner and i decided that i needed something to have my period, and finally after going to my OBGYN, she prescribed me this. I do indeed want to have a child, but i'm seeing if my period will come normally first. Is it better off for me to have protected sex? Or if i'm trying should i try unprotected sex after or during the time i am taking the pill?

This summer has been a rough summer for my body. In May I had a superlight period, then June, July and August basically had my period for 3 weeks straight then off my period then 3 weeks again. They are super heavy and filled with a lot clots. In August I went to the doctor, had a ultrasound done, biopsy and everything came back normal, though she did say I had debris up there. She put me on medroxy, where i would start it on the 10th-end it on the 24th. I had my period when I started, it seemed to stop for about 5 days and now its been back for almost a week and its super heavy and clotty. She gave me a 3 month supply of this, does it take awhile for it to work. I am feeling little weak and tired and am sick of supporting Tampax on my own. Help! ## Hello, Nora! How are you?

My mother had Wysolone 20 Mg for 2 weeks in the year 1999 and till the date she is suffering from fluid retention, weight gain, Swelling and muscle weakness and facing weekness after periods as it is abnormal. ## HI, Naveen! Sorry about the problems that your mother is having. Has she sought medical attention? Side effects from a medication that was taken so many years ago would not still be affecting her. It is most likely that there is some other cause. If she's getting symptoms after her menstrual cycle, as well as other times, then there's a high likelihood that she has a hormonal imbalance and may need to supplement her progesterone levels. ## My father had steroid wysolone 20mg for 1 month & then 10 mg for 1 month. Then he slowly reduced the dose to nil. After nearly 1...

I have been taking the brand drug Estratest, Not Estrates HS. My last prescription was a generic (GLENMARK) and it was the dark green, same as the brand name. I just went to my pharmacy and they provided the light green (Brenckrdg) which I am told is the higher dose 1.25mg/2.5mg. Why would your company not be consistent with Glenmark generic, and the brand in the color of the drug and dose? I read on your website that your light green is the doseage of 1.25mg/2.5mg. Is this correct and why would you not be consistent with the color so as not to confuse patients. Also, what is the color of your generic Estratest HS? Thank you for your reply. ## I had the same experience. I am trying to decipher what IP 78 is, as imprinted on the tablet. The bottle says the right dose, but I cannot find a...

hello po, gumamit po ako ng althea I have the prescription from my doctor after I used it after 6 months mga ilang weeks po ung breast ko may lumalabas na gatas wla pa naman ako anak ska I am single, side effect po ba to saka normal lng ba din to pls reply po i just worried to myself. thnks ## I'm not sure I fully understand your question due to a possible language barrier. However, with the help of a translator, I get the sense that you may be inquiring about about the safety of this medication during breastfeeding. From what I could gather, Althea (Cyproterone acetate + Ethinyl estradiol), is not recommend for use in those who are pregnant or nursing, as it does actually pass into breast milk and may end up causing undesirable side effects on a nursing infant. In such cases, I wou...

I have taken this birth control for one week . My side effects were nausea and a seizure. I do not have a seizure disorder. The other honest possibilility is an increase in anxiety which led to "seizure like" symptoms. Either way I have taken the patch off after one week. ## Hello, Ang! How are you? Have you informed your doctor, so they can check things out? It's very important that you discover what caused the seizure, in case it was unrelated to the Xulane. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, breakthrough bleeding and skin irritation. ## Yes I know and yes I've seen doctors, plural. A neurologist, an er doc, and my primary care doc. I realize those are common side effects, I had trouble sleeping and nausea as well ...

Hi my doctor prescribe me to take medroxyprogesterone for not having my menstrual for almost 3 months 10mg for 10 days i took my last pill December 5 how long would it take for me to come on? In do the pill really work. Thanks ## Hello, Keisha! How are you? Your period should start within 24 to 48 hours of finishing them. Did you start, yet? This is a hormonal medication that may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and breakthrough bleeding. And yes, they do work for many women, but I can't say whether or not they will work for you. It depends on what's causing you to skip your periods. Are they normally irregular? ## I took provera 10mg for 10 days to start my period. I haven't had 1 in over a year. I had intercourse 3 times while taking th...

Is there anything else I can help with?

I've been on medroxy for 3 years but stopped in oct 2013. I got a new doctor who put me back on march 2014, I started at 60mg a day because I bleed and don't come off my period. I got down to 40mg the week before last. Last week I started the 20mg. I had intercourse for the first time in a year on 4/5. Everything was fine. I had intercourse on 4/12. On 4/14 I started bleeding and have not stopped. My bleeding is increasing. My doctor told me to up it to 40mg again. In the past was only on 5mg at the most and I have never had this problem. I can't stop bleeding. I'm giving it until Friday before I call my doctor again to see what he wants me to do. This has never happened to me before. What could be going on? ## Hello, Nina! How are you doing? The levels of progesterone t...

I missed my periods for 1.5 months , preg test negative twice. Doc prescribed endogest for 5 days one st night. Already four days over i completed the course but still i dont have my periods, what could be the problem. Please help!!! ## HI, Priya! The doctor may not have given you enough of the Endogest to cause your cycle to start, you may need a longer course of it. Another alternative is that you may not be producing the estrogen necessary to cause your endometrial lining to build up in order to have a cycle. You should return to your doctor for further testing, so they can help you find a solution. How old are you? ## Hii I missed my periods...I am taking endogest 200... Please tell me endogest delays periods or not... and also tell me that can I get pregnant by ovulation scanning m...

I have been having super heavy periods all my life. It's usually been controlled by the pill, but the one that worked for me was pulled off the market. Last year, I literally bled from Jan Sept. With just a few days of no bleeding. I finally (I'm stubborn) went to the dr, and they gave me the Iud (mirena) That seemed to help, until this last few months. I hurt, hurt so bad, and bled like crazy. My body ended up expelling the iud and I instantly felt better. Unfortunately the bleeding came back with a vengeance. I went to the dr and couldn't see my Dr, he was out of town. The one Dr that I saw gave me a script for medroxyprogesterone. 10 MG daily. When I started taking it, I was told to try 1/2 a pull and I stopped bleeding, almost instantly. Now about 10 days later I started...
