DESCRIPTION
Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) oral is a progestin hormone medication. Oral progestins are the oldest drugs used for endometriosis. Progestins can prevent ovulation and reduce the risk for endometriosis in two ways. They reduce luteinizing hormone (LH), one of the reproductive hormones important in ovulation and they also change the lining of the uterus and eventually cause the lining to waste away. Some experts recommend progestins as the first choice for women with endometriosis who do not want to become pregnant. Progestins should not be taken during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (the premenstrual phase, which is 14 days before a period.)

MPA is typically administered orally for three months. Pain relief with progestin therapy has been reported as excellent. Clinical trials have shown a pain relief rate of up to 90% and improvement of pelvic density and tenderness in 80% of patients. Progestins have not been shown to improve fertility. Studies of women with early-stage endometriosis who were treated with MPA or expectant management had similar pregnancy rates over an 18-month period of time. Adverse effects include abnormal vaginal bleeding in about 20%, nausea, breast tenderness, fluid retention and depression. If effective, researchers have found that this medication can be used safely for long periods of time.

PROVERA AND PRECOCIOUS PUBERTY
Provera may be used to treat girls with precocious puberty.

Precocious puberty is defined as the onset of pubertal development before the age of eight years in girls or nine years in boys. Central precocious puberty (CPP) has similar physical and hormonal characteristics to normal puberty. Precocious puberty is characterized by rapid growth and advancement of skeletal age. The skeletal advancement is greater than the growth increase, so that final adult height is compromised. Long-acting hormone drugs such as medroxyprogesterone acetate are the current therapy of choice for central precocious puberty, having demonstrated effectiveness in halting the precocious development associated with this condition with minimal side effects.
