Description:
Medroxyprogesterone acetate (INN, USAN, BAN), also known as 17α-hydroxy-6α-methylprogesterone acetate, and commonly abbreviated as MPA, is a steroidal progestin, a synthetic variant of the steroid hormone progesterone. It is used as acontraceptive, in hormone replacement therapy and for the treatment of endometriosis as well as several other indications.
MPA is a more potent derivative of its parent compound medroxyprogesterone (MP). While medroxyprogesterone is sometimes used as a synonym for medroxyprogesterone acetate, what is almost always being referred to is MPA and not MP. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system.
