welcome to hcm,
your drug pentogen contains medroxy progesterone.
it is a hormonal injection.As it is a hormonal injection it has the side effect of changing the menstrual pattern it will cause irregular bleeding also.
some even complains of painful bleading, amenorrea, loss of libido. drowsiness etc.
these are some of the side effects of taking this injection.
i would like you to discuss these things with your gynecologist . if it is used for contraception there are other means of contraception you can use the one which has lesser side effects.
hope this explains
with regards
Dr.Amarnath
