Deivry 10mg twice a day for 20 days
This is a follow-up question to my previous post regarding missed to consume 2nd pack of krimson 35 pack of 21 tablets, so irregular,breakthrough bleeding for 5 days. Dr prescribed Deivry 10mg twice a day for 20 days, which started on 15th Sep night being 1st pill and from 16th Sep-4th October consumed ( Medroxy progesterone) twice a day like 1-0-1. Then on 4th September morning faced left shoulder pain which relived after cipcal 500mg(calcium ) and post applying reliwyn gel. Then noticed centre of chest jitterness, mild anxiety sensation, palpitation throughout the day on 4th October. FYI, I was constipated the whole day .By then I have completed 38/39 pill of Medroxyprigestrine. 5th October noticed left calf muscle cramp, swelling which relived post walking. So, out of fear skipped the 40th pill on 5th October which was final pill. Plz let me know is it a cumulative side effects of medroxyprogesteron 39 pils consumed for 19 days like twice a day?Cardiac evualation needed?

You were right to stop the last tablet. Medroxyprogesterone can cause bloating, jitteriness and a racing heart, and these usually settle within a few days of stopping. The part that needs attention today is the left calf swelling with cramp, coming together with the chest discomfort and racing heart while you were on a hormone tablet. Hormone tablets slightly raise the chance of a clot in a leg vein, and a clot can occasionally travel to the lungs. This needs to be ruled out the same day rather than waited out.
Next Steps
Go to an emergency department today for an examination, a heart tracing and a Doppler scan of the left leg, and tell the doctor who prescribed Deviry about these symptoms. Go immediately if you get breathlessness, pain on breathing in, coughing blood or fainting. Consult your gynaecologist before restarting any hormone tablet.
