Meprate 2.5mg Tab (Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) is a progestin, a synthetic form of progesterone. It works by binding to progesterone receptors in various tissues, influencing the menstrual cycle, endometrial growth, and hormone levels. In the case of endometrial cancer prevention, it counteracts the effects of estrogen which is a major factor in this type of cancer. In prostate cancer, it interferes with the production of testosterone. The exact mechanism varies depending on the specific condition being treated.
