Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)Infobox references Medroxyprogesterone (MP) is a pregnane that acts as a progestin. An acylated derivative, medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate (MPA) is clinically used as a drug.[1] Compared to MPA, MP is approximately 100 fold less potent as a progestin.[2] MP is also a metabolite of MPA.[3]
While medroxyprogesterone is sometimes used as a synonym for medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate,[1] what is normally being administered is medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate and not medroxyprogesterone.[4]
Medroxyprogesterone is used to regulate irregular periods in a woman's menstral cycle. This drug is also used with women going through menopause.
