Medroxyprogesterone

A synthetic progestin discovered in 1956 and in use since 1959, used as medroxyprogesterone acetate for menstrual disorders, menopausal hormone therapy, contraception and some hormone-dependent tumours. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, metabolites, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?It was developed partly because for decades natural progesterone could not be taken by mouth. In its injectable 'depot' form, used as a contraceptive since 1969, a single injection lasts about three months.
