Gestoserv M 10 mg Tablet

Gestoserv M 10 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 10 mg of medroxyprogesterone acetate in each tablet. It belongs to the progestin class, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. This strength is used when a clinician wants a tablet that can help manage hormone-related conditions, including certain menstrual problems and other uses decided by a doctor. Gestoserv M 10 mg Tablet is not an over-the-counter birth control pill and should be used only for the reason and schedule prescribed.

How it works: Medroxyprogesterone acetate works by acting like progesterone in the body, helping change how the lining of the uterus grows and sheds. In tablet form, Gestoserv M 10 mg Tablet provides a measured oral dose that your doctor can use to regulate hormone effects over time.

Gestoserv M 10 mg Tablet is a standard 10 mg tablet, which is a higher-dose oral progestin form compared with many lower-dose hormone tablets used for routine daily contraception. Because it is a specific prescription strength, it is typically chosen when a doctor needs the effects of medroxyprogesterone acetate in a defined oral tablet dose rather than a lower-strength or different dosage form. It may be selected based on the condition being treated, your bleeding pattern, and how you respond to progestin therapy.

• Irregular or absent menstrual periods
• Abnormal uterine bleeding
• Endometrial protection in selected patients
• Hormone-related conditions as prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Gestoserv M 10 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly at the time and on the days prescribed; do not change the schedule on your own.
• You may take this tablet with or without food if your prescriber has not given special instructions.
• If you miss a dose, follow your prescriber’s directions or the package instructions provided with your prescription.
• Do not crush or split the tablet unless a pharmacist or doctor specifically tells you it is safe to do so.

Each Gestoserv M 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of medroxyprogesterone acetate per tablet. How often it is taken can vary a lot depending on the condition being treated; some patients may take it once daily for a set number of days, while others may need a different schedule. Your doctor decides the dose and the maximum number of tablets per day based on your diagnosis and response to treatment.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
