Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Acetomepregenol is a synthetic progestogen, meaning it mimics the effects of the natural hormone progesterone in the body. It is used in gynecology to treat a variety of conditions related to hormonal imbalances, including menstrual disorders, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids.
Medical uses[edit | edit source]

- Menstrual disorders: Acetomepregenol can help regulate menstrual cycles and alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
