What are the common side effects which I can experience while taking Provera?

The common side effects of Provera include headache, nausea (feeling sick), weight gain, breast pain, and unusual vaginal bleeding or spotting. Do not worry, most of these symptoms are temporary. However, if they persist, check with your doctor as soon as possible.

How does Provera work? What is it used for?
