Hi,
Ralovera contains medroxyprogesterone that is used in the treatment of various menstrual problems like absent, irregular or heavy menstrual periods. It contains progesterone only called medroxyprogesterone is also used to prevent unwanted pregnancies from unprotected sexual intercourses as a contraceptive pill or method. Like other medications, Ralovera has side effects too like it may cause irregular uterine bleeding, delayed menstrual cycles, breakthrough bleeding or spotting between periods, vaginal bleeding or vaginal discharge etc.
It may also cause unusual tiredness and weakness, exhaustion, fatigue, back pain or cramps, joint pain, muscle aches or stiffness, breast tenderness and enlargement, easily bruising or bleeding, changes in body weight, sweating, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, allergic reactions etc. These side effects are mild and go away eventually as your body adjusts to this medication. But, if these side effects persist for long or bother you, then you should consult your doctor first for medical attention.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
