Amen and Alcohol/Food Interactions
There are 3 alcohol/food/lifestyle interactions with Amen (medroxyprogesterone).
Medroxyprogesterone High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
estrogens/progestogens - fluid retention
Estrogens and progestogens may cause fluid retention, particularly when given in high dosages or for prolonged periods. Therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients who have preexisting problems with excess fluid. In addition, patients with conditions that may be adversely affected by fluid accumulation, such as asthma, epilepsy, migraine, and cardiovascular or renal dysfunction, should be observed for exacerbation of their condition during estrogen and/or progestogen therapy.
Medroxyprogesterone High Cholesterol (Hyperlipoproteinemia, Hypertriglyceridemia, Sitosterolemia)
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
progestogens - hyperlipidemia
Some progestogenic agents may elevate plasma LDL levels and/or lower HDL levels, although data have been inconsistent. Patients with preexisting hyperlipidemia may require closer monitoring during progestogen therapy, and adjustments made accordingly in their lipid-lowering regimen.
Medroxyprogesterone Obesity
Minor Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
progestogens - weight gain
Progestogens can cause weight gain, which may be significant (as is the case with parenteral medroxyprogesterone) and undesirable in obese patients attempting to lose weight.
