Medroxyprogesterone acetate

Medroxyprogesterone acetate is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, used in medicine to regulate or treat hormonal imbalances. It’s commonly used as a contraceptive (birth control shot), to manage abnormal uterine bleeding, or to support hormone therapy in certain conditions. It works by influencing the ovaries, uterus, and other tissues to help control menstrual cycles and prevent pregnancy. It’s administered via injection or other forms and is prescribed by healthcare providers based on individual needs. Like all medications, it should be used under medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
