Tell doctors or dentists that you are being treated with medroxyprogesterone before you receive any treatment from them. Apply warm compresses or soak in warm water for 15-20 minutes several times a day. Swelling of hands, feet or lower legs occur if your body retains extra fluid. Elevate your feet when sitting. Avoid tight clothing.
Blood clots can sometimes occur.
This is more likely to happen if you have had blood clots before. Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid tight clothing. Do not sit with your legs crossed at the knees. This will return to normal when you stop taking medroxyprogesterone.
