Makena (hydroxyprogesterone caproate) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Makena (hydroxyprogesterone caproate)
I was able to carry two babies to term using this and at the time was highly satisfied because of course healthy babies, but I've had some health problems since then with super short menstrual cycles (15 days) 18 months after having the babies. The doctor has said both times it was because my body wasn't making enough progesterone anymore. I don't really know if it was the drug but before I was pregnant with my second child (first that I used Makena with) I had a very predictable 28 day cycle. I really wonder if my body just won't make its own progesterone anymore. This has also come with terrible migraines where I can't drive because my vision changes and bad mood swings. These are all symptoms of low progesterone. I just wonder.. . but I'd probably do it all again for healthy babies.
The only side effect I felt was itching and the injection site. I was able to go full term with my pregnancy and have a healthy little boy.
MAKENA (HYDROXYPROGESTERONE CAPROATE): This medication is used in women who are pregnant with a single baby, and who have delivered a baby too early (preterm) in the past. It is used to help lower the risk of having a preterm baby again. Hydroxyprogesterone is a man-made form of a female hormone (progestin). It is not known how it works to prevent preterm births. This medication is not intended to prevent preterm birth in women pregnant with more than one baby (such as twins, triplets). It is also not intended to stop active preterm labor.

From what I have now learned about this particular drug some people might have an adverse reaction to it or not. It depends if you are allergic to any
I am actually taking the generic Tri-Previfem, which I expected to work just like OTC.My periods started earlier than expected, had break-through bleeding the first 3-months, LONGER periods (1 and a half weeks!), periods weren't significantly lighter AT ALL, my breasts were EXTREMELY tender and sore, gained more than 5 pounds even though I haven't changed my eating habits and usually I stay pretty thin, and my sex drive is pretty much destroyed!!! and sometimes I get moody for no reason!; Tri-previfem did clear up SOME acne, but I STILL have to use additional topical medications such as Benzol Peroxide every night to keep my skin from flaring up the next morning!The whole reason I wanted to get on BC was to help my acne. Insurance won't cover the name brand OTC and I really don't have the $$ to spend $60 every month...I'm a poor college student just tryin to find a simple way to have clear skin!HAS ANYONE ELSE TRIED TRI-PREVIFEM? Has anyone had problems with this kind of

Did notice less palpitations but it is not worth the side effects. I was only on 25mg at night but I have cut them in half so that I can wean myself.I can live with the PVC's and palpitations!
My son was diagnosed with ADHD in Nov. 2008. The doctor put him on concerta (18mg). It worked instantly. I was so happy. He was not moving around in class he was able to concentrate. It was a wonder drug. Well in Feb. the dosage was increased to 27mg because of the length of the effectiveness did not get him through the day. 3 weeks later I noticed a change in him of mild moodiness. at times he would have a temper tantrum. In May the dosage was increased again, now to 36mg. Big mistake I think. He became violent and distructive at school. It even got to a point where he was physically abusive himself. He bust his lip with a book and bled all down his mouth. just yesterday he went bolistic in the mall to the point I had to call mall security to escort me back to my vehicle. The psychitrist said it is not the concerta because the side effects would have been seen within 24 hours of the first dose back in Nov. But to me there is no other explaination for his outburts. He has never been violent like this. I have a master's degree in psychology, but I am currently teaching, I feel helpless because I can't help my child. I am going to request the doctor change his medicine because for my son the side effects outweigh the benefits.
