Brief Answer:
meprate can be taken during lactation
Detailed Answer:
Hello there, I understand your concern.
In my opinion Tab. Meprate can be taken during lactation in place of Primolut N.
Meprate is a medroxyprogesterone hormone and it does not effect the lactation.
1)For postponing menstruation :-
Tab.Meprate 10 mg twice a day starting 3 days before the expected period and continued not more than 10 days.
Bleeding is seen 3 to 7 days after the last dose.
2)For contraception:-
Injection Meprate 150 mg once every 3 months.
3)For heavy bleeding:-
Tab.Meprate 10 mg from 21 st day for 5 days.
Bleeding is seen after 2 to 3 days.
4)For no periods or withdrawal bleeding:-
Tab.Meprate 10 mg twice daily for 5 days.
Meprate tablet to be taken daily at same time for good results.
