摘要
Ulipristal acetate (UPA), a selective progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM), offers new therapeutic options for the clinical management of large uterine fibroids associated with heavy menstrual bleeding or with other moderate or severe symptoms (bulk symptoms, pelvic pain, decreased quality of life). SPRM are synthetic compounds that exert an agonist or antagonist effect on target tissues by their binding to progesterone receptors. UPA reduces fibroid size, controls bleeding in a high percentage of women and significantly improves quality of life. The present review aims to provide insights into UPA indications and its mechanism of action. (C) 2018 Reproductive Healthcare Ltd. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
