Description
Homogeneous yellowish suspension.
Structure
1 ml of the drug contains the active ingredient:
megestrol acetate – 40.0 mg.
Excipients: polyethylene glycol, polysorbate, xanthan gum, sodium benzoate, citric acid, sodium citrate, sucrose.
Pharmacological properties
Megestrol acetate is a synthetic progestogen that blocks the secretion of gonadotropic follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) and luteinizing (LH) hormones produced by the anterior pituitary gland. With a lack of these hormones, the maturation of follicles in the ovaries of females is delayed, as a result of which estrus and sexual desire in animals cease. By suppressing the secretion of gonadotropic hormones and delaying ovulation, megestrol provides an antigonadotropic effect, clinically manifested by the retention of estrus, and a progestogenic effect by direct action on the endometrium of the uterus, which causes its secretory phase, due to which implantation of the embryo is inhibited and the contraceptive properties of the drug are provided.
In males, under the influence of megestrol, testosterone synthesis is blocked, as a result of which their sexual activity decreases and the related: anxiety, increased excitability and aggressive behavior.
Megestrol acetate is rapidly absorbed in the intestine and reaches its maximum concentration in blood plasma after three hours. It is metabolized in the liver and excreted from the body in the form of metabolites, mainly in the urine within 1-2 days.
