    GlossaryChlormadinone Acetate

    synthetic hormone used in contraceptives and hormone therapy

    Chlormadinone Acetate (CMA) is a synthetic progestin, a type of hormone similar to the natural hormone progesterone. It is commonly used in hormonal contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy to regulate menstrual cycles, treat endometriosis, and manage symptoms of menopause. Additionally, it has anti-androgenic properties, which means it can help reduce the effects of male hormones, making it useful in treating conditions like acne and hirsutism (excessive hair growth).
