Patient's question:
I'm poor at home. Although I studied hard and worked hard to get into university, I have to spend a lot of money every year. Only when I earn money myself, recently, I was noticed by an employer. Every time he has sex with me, he doesn't wear a condom and asks me to take medication. Can megestrol acetate be used as a contraceptive?Doctor's answer:
Methoxyprogesterone tablets are a progestogen, and conventional oral administration cannot achieve contraceptive effects. They are primarily used to treat menstrual disorders in women, functional uterine bleeding, endometriosis, and the treatment of certain cancers. Contraceptives include short-acting, long-acting, and emergency contraceptives, all of which contain estrogen and progestogen formulations and must be used properly to be effective for contraception.
