Depending on the dose, it suppresses the secretion of pituitary gonadotropins and has an anti-insulin effect.
In animals, medroxyprogesterone acetate has a pronounced adrenocortical effect and suppresses the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol.
Medroxyprogesterone has an anti-estrogenic effect and reduces testosterone levels in the blood plasma of males.
