What is Hydroxyprogesterone Acetate?
Hydroxyprogesterone acetate (OHPA), sold under the brand name Prodox, is an orally active progestin related to hydroxyprogesterone caproate (OHPC) which has been used in clinical and veterinary medicine.It has reportedly also been used in birth control pills.OHPA is a progestin, or a synthetic progestogen, and hence is an agonist of the progesterone receptor, the biological target of progestogens like progesterone.
Hydroxyprogesterone acetate is of relatively low potency as a progestogen, which may explain its limited relative use. It is 100-fold less potent than medroxyprogesterone acetate, 400-fold less potent than chlormadinone acetate, and 1200-fold less potent than cyproterone acetate.
