Introduction

In Treatment of Abnormal uterine bleeding Deviry 10mg Tablet is a synthetic progestin that replicates the effect of a natural female hormone called progesterone. It slows the growth of the lining of the womb before menstruation, which reduces the bleeding during menstruation. If heavy periods become such a problem that they interfere with your everyday life, then try taking things a little easier on those days. Some women find that relaxation techniques or yoga help them feel more relaxed and reduce stress. Getting a lot of exercise can also help.

How It Works

Deviry 10mg Tablet is a progestin (female hormone). It works by replacing the natural progesterone hormone that the body is unable to make. This treats painful, irregular, or absent menstrual periods. It also prevents an overgrowth of the lining of the uterus in menopausal women taking estrogen (another female hormone).
