Medroxyprogesterone subcutaneous injection is used for the treatment of endometriosis, a condition in which the endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus.
Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) inhibits the production of gonadotropin, preventing follicular maturation and ovulation, which is responsible for it's ability to prevent pregnancy. This action also thins the endometrium. MPA reduces nuclear estrogen receptors and DNA synthesis in epithelial cells of the endometrium
