Novo-Medrone (generic name: Medroxyprogesterone; brand names include: Climanor / Cycrin / Farlutal / Perlutex / Meprate) is a progestogen which comes from progesterone, a natural sex hormone.
Novo-Medrone is used to treat:
1. Endometriosis - a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (womb) grows outside the uterus, causing pain and bleeding. Novo-Medrone helps to stop the growth of this tissue.
2. Amenorrhoea together with an oestrogen containing medicine. Amenorrhoea is a lack of menstrual periods not due to pregnancy. Novo-Medrone helps to re-establish a regular menstrual cycle.
3. Abnormal bleeding from the uterus where the lining of the uterus breaks down during the menstrual cycle rather than at the end resulting in vaginal spotting or bleeding. Novo-Medrone helps to re-establish a regular menstrual cycle.
4. Symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes or sweating together with an oestrogen containing medicine. Novo-Medrone works by protecting the lining of the uterus while taking the oestrogen treatment.
Your doctor may have prescribed Novo-Medrone for another purpose.
