Is medroxyprogest used for hot flashes?
Medroxyprogesterone is not typically used as a first-line treatment for hot flashes; it is primarily prescribed for hormone replacement therapy and to regulate menstrual cycles. However, it can have a role in managing symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, especially in women who also require progestin for endometrial protection. Other treatments, such as estrogen therapy or non-hormonal options, are more commonly recommended for hot flashes. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
