Meprate tablets contain a chemical similar to the female hormone progesterone. It may cause weight gain as a potential adverse effect on some patients. An alternative would be combined oral contraception with low dose or very low dose of estrogen/progesterone. These would be for instance Yaz, Mircette, Lo Estrin Fe, Yasmin, etc.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Regards, Dr. Antoneta Zotaj General and Family Physician
