Medroxyprogesterone

This page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Medroxyprogesterone but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.


Overview:

Medroxyprogesterone
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Medroxyprogesterone, a synthetic progestin more potent than progesterone, is used as a contraceptive and to treat amenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding, endometriosis, endometrial and renal cell carcinomas, and pulmonary disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Pickwickian syndrome, and other hypercapnic pulmonary conditions. Contraception

Mechanism Of Action:
Progestins diffuse freely into target cells in the female reproductive tract, mammary gland, hypothalamus, and the pituitary and bind to the progesterone receptor. Once bound to the receptor, progestins slow the frequency of release of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus and blunt the pre-ovulatory LH surge.
