What are the possible side effects of medroxyprogesterone? • If you experience any of the following serious side effects, seek emergency medical attention or notify your doctor immediately: · an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives); · a blood clot in the lung (shortness of breath, pain in the chest, or coughing up blood); · a blood clot in an arm or leg (pain, redness, swelling, or numbness of an arm or leg); · severe headache or vomiting, dizziness or fainting, problems with eyesight or speech, weakness, or numbness in an arm or leg (indicating a possible stroke); · high blood pressure (severe headache, flushing, blurred vision); or · liver damage (yellowing of the skin or eyes, nausea, abdominal pain or discomfort, unusual bleeding or bruising, severe fatigue). · unusually heavy menstrual bleeding; or · persistent pain, pus, or bleeding at the injection site. • Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Talk to your doctor if you experience · irregular, or increased or decreased menstrual bleeding; · no menstrual bleeding at all; · pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site; · headache or dizziness; · nausea; · breast tenderness; · changes in weight or appetite; · oily skin or acne; or · changes in hair growth. • Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
