Acetomepregenol
Acetomepregenol is a synthetic progestogen that is used in gynecology. It is a derivative of progesterone and was first introduced in Russia in 1997. Acetomepregenol is marketed under the brand name Mastodinon and is available in Russia and Ukraine.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Acetomepregenol is a synthetic progestogen, meaning it mimics the effects of the natural hormone progesterone in the body. It is used in gynecology to treat a variety of conditions related to hormonal imbalances, including menstrual disorders, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids.
Medical uses[edit | edit source]
Acetomepregenol is used in the treatment of various gynecological disorders. These include:
- Menstrual disorders: Acetomepregenol can help regulate menstrual cycles and alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
- Endometriosis: This is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. Acetomepregenol can help reduce the growth of this tissue and alleviate symptoms.
- Uterine fibroids: These are non-cancerous growths in the uterus. Acetomepregenol can help shrink these fibroids and reduce symptoms.
Side effects[edit | edit source]
