Medrogestone is indicated as adjunct to treat endometial shedding in menopausal women, to treat secondary amenorrhea, to induce menses and to treat dysfunctional uterine bleeding in adult and adolescent women.
Medrogestone was created as a more potent and orally active option of progesterone. In pre-clinical trials, medrogestone was proven to have four times more progestational activity than progesterone with a similar duration effect than the one found for 17-hydroxyprogesterone. Medrogestone was also able to maintain pregnancy and prevented ovulation in ovariectomized rats. Administration of medrogestone, alone or with premarin, prevented pregnancy, as well as it suppressed ovarian weight increase by nearly 100% of the tested individuals. Medrogestone does not produce any androgenic effect but it presented a marked anti-androgenic effect. It did not present an oestrogenic effect, nor changes in organ weight or histological appearance in adrenal glands or thymus and it does not present any anti-inflammatory effects.
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.)

Absorption
When administered, medrogestone presents a very rapid gastrointestinal absorption with a bioavailability of 100%. The maximum serum concentration of medrogestone is 10-15 ng/ml.
Route of Elimination
The elimination time of medrogestone is of 36 hours.
The non-protein bound fraction of medrogestoneis available for metabolism. The main route in the metabolism of medrogestone is hydroxylation.
The half-life of medrogestone is reported to be of 4 hours.
Medrogestone is a progestogen, thus its action is done under the same profile. These type of molecules are steroid hormones that bind and activate the progesterone receptor. Its action may involve the suppression of gonadotropic hormones from the anterior portion of the pituitary gland and secondary suppression of testosterone. Medrogestone presents structural similarities to testosterone which allows it to compete for the androgen-receptor-protein receptor sites in prostatic cells. Administration of medrogestone diminishes the response to endogenous hormones in tumor cells due to a reduction in hormone steroid receptors; this effect will translate into cytotoxic or antiproliferative effects.
