Medroxyprogesterone acetate tablet uses?

Medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets are a synthetic progestin. They’re used for several gynecologic indications, usually under a doctor’s supervision. Common uses include:

- Abnormal uterine bleeding due to hormonal imbalance (in nonpregnant women)
- Secondary amenorrhea (absence of periods after puberty)
- To induce withdrawal bleeding or for a progestin challenge test in certain cases
- Endometriosis (to suppress menses and relieve pelvic pain) in some regimens
- Part of hormone replacement therapy regimens to protect the lining of the uterus in postmenopausal women receiving estrogen (often in combination with estrogen-containing products)

Note: The tablet form is not the same as the progestin-only injectable contraception (Depo-Provera). For contraception, the injectable form is commonly used; the oral tablet form is primarily for menstrual/gynecologic indications described above.
