No. It's the older types of oestrogen that are from equine sources. DG x

Ingredients

The active ingredient in PROVERA tablets is medroxyprogesterone acetate. [glad I'm no longer taking shorthand notes!]

PROVERA 2.5 mg , 5 mg and 10 mg tablets also contain lactose, sucrose, maize starch, liquid paraffin, purified talc, calcium stearate, purified water, and the colouring agents sunset yellow FCF (2.5 mg) and indigo carmine (5 mg).

PROVERA 100 mg and 200 mg tablets also contain sodium starch glycollate, microcrystalline cellulose, maize starch, gelatin, docusate sodium, macrogol 400, sodium benzoate, isopropyl alcohol, magnesium stearate and purified water.

Apparently it's sourced from natural progesterones.
