Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) oral tablets are indicated to treat secondary amenorrhea, reduce the incidence of endometrial hyperplasia in postmenopausal women, and to treat abnormal uterine bleeding due to hormonal imbalance, not organic pathology. Oral tablets containing MPA and conjugated estrogens are indicated to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis and to treat moderate to severe menopausal symptoms such as vasomotor symptoms, vulvar atrophy, and vaginal atrophy. Subcutaneous MPA is indicated to prevent pregnancy and manage pain associated with endometriosis. Intramuscular MPA is indicated to prevent pregnancy, and at higher concentrations for palliative treatment of endometrial or renal carcinoma.
FDA Label
Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) inhibits gonadotropin production, reduces nuclear estrogen receptors and DNA synthesis in epithelial cells of the endometrium, and induces p53 dependant apoptosis in cancer cell lines. MPA oral tablets have a half life of 40-60 hours and other formulations can have half lives that are considerably longer, so the duration of action is long. The therapeutic window is wide as patients may take doses ranging from 5mg orally daily to 1000mg as a depo injection weekly. Long term use of MPA is associated with a reduction in bone density and patients who taking MPA during adolescence may have lower peak bone mass than untreated patients, which can also increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures in the future.
Contraceptive Agents, Female
Chemical substances or agents with contraceptive activity in females. Use for female contraceptive agents in general or for which there is no specific heading. (See all compounds classified as Contraceptive Agents, Female.)
Contraceptive Agents, Male
Chemical substances or agents with contraceptive activity in males. Use for male contraceptive agents in general or for which there is no specific heading. (See all compounds classified as Contraceptive Agents, Male.)
Antineoplastic Agents, Hormonal
Antineoplastic agents that are used to treat hormone-sensitive tumors. Hormone-sensitive tumors may be hormone-dependent, hormone-responsive, or both. A hormone-dependent tumor regresses on removal of the hormonal stimulus, by surgery or pharmacological block. Hormone-responsive tumors may regress when pharmacologic amounts of hormones are administered regardless of whether previous signs of hormone sensitivity were observed. The major hormone-responsive cancers include carcinomas of the breast, prostate, and endometrium; lymphomas; and certain leukemias. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual 1994, p2079) (See all compounds classified as Antineoplastic Agents, Hormonal.)
Contraceptive Agents, Hormonal
Contraceptive agents that act on the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM. (See all compounds classified as Contraceptive Agents, Hormonal.)
Absorption
Absorption of oral medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) varies considerably between formulations. A 1000mg oral dose reaches an average Cmax of 145-315nmol/L while a 500mg oral dose reaches an average Cmax of 33-178nmol/L with a Tmax of 1-3 hours and a lag time of half an hour. The AUC of a 500mg oral dose of MPA was 543.4-1981.1nmol\*L/h depending on formulation. Intramuscular MPA reaches a Cmax of 4.691.52nmol/L with a Tmax of 4.752.09 days and an AUC of 81.5827.64days\*nmol/L. Subcutaneous MPA reaches a Cmax of 3.831.56nmol/L with a Tmax of 6.522.07 days and an AUC of 72.2638.73days\*nmol/L. However, the pharmacokinetics of MPA may also vary depending on injection site.
Route of Elimination
The majority of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is eliminated in the urine as glucuronide conjugates and a minority of sulphate conjugates. Glucuronide conjugates are also detected in the feces. Determining the exact ratio of metabolites and parent compound eliminated in the urine and feces is difficult as the metabolite profile in the urine is not significantly different and radio labelling studies are not readily available.
Volume of Distribution
The volume of distribution of medroxyprogesterone acetate is 203L.
Clearance
The mean clearance of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is 1668146L/day or 21.94.3L/kg/day. Due to the high inter patient variability in MPA pharmacokinetics, clearance has been reported to be 1600-4000L/day.
Medroxyprogesterone acetate undergoes beta hydroxylation to form the metabolites 6-beta (M-2), 2-beta (M-4), and 1-beta-hydroxymedroxyprogesterone acetate (M-3). M-2 and M-4 are further metabolized to 2-beta,6-beta-dihydroxymedroxyprogesterone (M-1). M-3 is further metabolized to 1,2-dehydromedroxyprogesterone acetate (M-5).
Medroxyprogesterone Acetate has known human metabolites that include M-2, M-3, and Medroxyprogesterone Acetate.
S73 | METXBIODB | Metabolite Reaction Database from BioTransformer | DOI:10.5281/zenodo.4056560
Oral medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) has an absorption half life of 15-30min and a biological half life of 40-60 hours. Intramuscular MPA has an absorption half life of 0.860.30 days and an elimination half life of 24.0321.74 days. Subcutaneous MPA has an absorption half life of 1.050.56 days and an elimination half life of 30.9015.11 days.
Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) inhibits the production of gonadotropin, preventing follicular maturation and ovulation, which is responsible for its ability to prevent pregnancy. This action also thins the endometrium. MPA reduces nuclear estrogen receptors and DNA synthesis in epithelial cells of the endometrium. MPA can also induce p53 dependant apoptosis in certain cancer cell lines, and inhibit GABA-A receptors.
