Medroxyprogesterone acetate mimics the action of natural progesterone, which is essential for regulating ovulation, menstrual cycles, and the stability of the uterine lining. Its mechanism involves altering the uterine lining, making it less likely to cause overgrowth and potentially abnormal bleeding. It is effective in preventing endometrial hyperplasia in postmenopausal women undergoing estrogen replacement therapy and in treating secondary amenorrhea, providing benefits in managing symptoms and reducing the risk of endometrial cancer.
