Chemical formula: C₂₂H₃₀O₃  Molecular mass: 342.479 g/mol  PubChem compound: 68926

Active ingredient description

Trimegestone is a 19-norpregnane progestagen, with an in vitro affinity for the progesterone receptor approximately 6 times that of progesterone. As oestrogens promote the growth of the endometrium, unopposed oestrogens increase the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer. The addition of a progestagen reduces, but does not eliminate the oestrogen-induced risk of endometrial hyperplasia in non-hysterectomised women.
