It has few side-effe: It is an artificial "progesterone" like drug (progestin). It is not used much in the us, but it can be used to prevent miscarriages do to hormone imbalance, and it can be given with estrogen, uusally 17-beta-estradiol to prevent uterine hyperplasia, breakthrough bleeding, and uterine cancer, in women who have a uterus. It has some benefits over medroxy- and methylprogesterone.
