MEPROGEST™ (MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE) TABLETS U.S.P.
PHARMACEUTICAL CLASSIFICATION
PROGESTIN
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MEPROGEST™, an orally-active progestational steroid, when
administered to women with
adequate endogenous estrogen transforms a proliferative endometrium
into a secretory
endometrium. MEPROGEST™ inhibits the secretion of pituitary
gonadotropin which, in turn,
prevents follicular maturation and ovulation. The anti-cancer activity
of MEPROGEST™ at
pharmacologic doses, may be dependent on its effect on the
hypopituitary/gonadal axis, estrogen
receptors and the metabolism of steroids at the tissue level.
BIOAVAILABILITY
In a randomized cross-over study with 25 healthy post-menopausal
female volunteers, the
bioavailability of MEPROGEST™ 10 mg and PROVERA
®
10 mg tablets was studied
following multiple oral doses in the following regimens:
A)
one MEPROGEST™ 10 mg tablet or
B)
one PROVERA
®
10 mg tablet at 0-hour on Days 1-6.
Each dose was administered during a fasting period which began 10
hours before and lasted until
3 hours after the dose. Treatment phases were separated by a 16-day
washout period. Blood

following times after drug
administration on Day 6: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 24 and

plasma samples were analyzed for medroxyprogesterone using a
radioimmunoassay procedure.
