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

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

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

Like all medications, acetomepregenol can cause side effects. These may include:

• Nausea
• Headache
• Breast tenderness
• Mood changes
• Weight gain

If these side effects persist or worsen, patients are advised to seek medical attention.
