Medroxyprogesterone is a synthetic progestin primarily used for the treatment of menstrual disorders, endometriosis, and as part of hormone replacement therapy. It is also used as an injectable contraceptive.

This medication works by regulating hormone levels and preventing excessive growth of the uterine lining. When used as a contraceptive, medroxyprogesterone inhibits ovulation and thickens cervical mucus, thereby preventing fertilization.

Medroxyprogesterone is administered in the form of tablets or injections, depending on the medical indication. It is important to follow the dosing schedule recommended by the doctor to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.

Adverse effects may include weight gain, mood changes, or irregular bleeding. Patients with a history of thrombosis or severe liver disease should use this medication with caution.
