so confused
Medroxyprogesterone is used to treat abnormal uterine bleeding, promote menstrual cycles, and to treat symptoms of the menopause. Progestins are responsible for changes in the mucus and inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) during the second half (secretory phase) of the menstrual cycle. Progestins prepare the endometrium for implantation of the embryo, and once an embryo implants in the endometrium, i.e., pregnancy occurs, progestins help maintain the pregnancy. At high doses, progestins also prevent ovulation (release of the egg from the ovary). Progestins were first isolated in 1933, and progesterone itself was synthesized in the 1940s.

Male and estradiol
Very little, and it'll be out of his system within a few weeks. Unless he no longer has his gonads, the testosterone produced by them will by far exceed the estrogens, and thus there will be absolutely no difference, except for a slightly higher risk of blood clotting while he was on them. By now, assuming he's stopped on August 3 or earlier, it's totally out of his system.

Males also have estrogens, some with higher concentrations than others. But the testosterone really lords over it and prevents it from doing anything unwanted unless a person uses what's called an anti-androgen, or testosterone blocker, such as spironolactone.

And 2 weeks really isn't enough for anything at all even if he used both, it takes over a year for anything permanent at that age. So don't worry.

Though I must say I'm curious as to how this came to be.

Clindamycin severe side effects
I took Clindamycin for an oral abcess, I've been off it for 2 weeks but tomorrow I plan to see my doct because I've had severe abdominal cramps and diarreah for 5 days. Really don't understand why I wasn't warned about this severe side effect on this drug!! This was too strong an antibiotic for an oral abcess! I think Pseudomembranuos Colitis or Clostridium Difficile is the bacteria it causes. Colitis is managable but not curable.

Clindamycin severe side effects
I was prescribed cleocin-oral 300mg from the dentist when I had my wisdom teeth removed. A couple of weeks later I notice a change in the consistancy of my bowel movements and thought that it was just a phase until one morning I was awaken with severe diarrhea. For three weeks I was back and fourth between going five times a day to not going at all. During this time I'd been to the doctor three times and have even taken a trip to the emergency room. I used to be afraid of needles but I have had so much blood taken from me that it doesn't bother me anymore. I was told that I had developed Cdif and am now on flagyl for a week. The severe cramping caused me to bleed two weeks after my normal cycle. I am lucky that I wasn't pregnant because I don't think that the baby would have made it. Tomarrow I have to see the Radiologist and the Gynocologist to make sure no damage was done. I understand that you take the risk of developing complications from using prescription drugs since they put the warning on the label but I wonder how many people have severe reactions from using this drug. They say that you should talk to your doctor if you have question about taking a drug prior to. But what is left out of the conversation for those of us who are unaware of what is further down the line weeks after taking a certain drug. I don't know if the dose of cleocin that I received was just too strong for me or if my immune system was already impared. I make it a priority to keep up on my visits to the doctor and I do ask questions. But how careful do you need to be? I have done some research on cleocin and am somewhat aware of its other uses. If not taken orally I wonder about its other possible side effects and what they can lead to.

How effective has Glipizide Been For You
Good Evening, About six months ago, I was surprisingly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and was originally put on insulin when I was hospitalized. After two months, I was given an oral medication called Glipizide and was even sent home on that medication. I have found the results from this medication far more successful than when I was on an insulin shot. I would enjoy corresponding with others who are on this medication. Did you experience any side effects or how succedssful has it been with you? Thank You-Tony
