Indications of Uliroid 5 mg
Ulipristal Acetate is used before surgery to treat moderate to severe symptoms of uterine fibroids, which are noncancerous (benign) tumors of the womb (uterus). Ulipristal Acetate is used in adult women who have not yet reached menopause.
Theropeutic Class
Drugs acting on the Uterus
Pharmacology
Ulipristal acetate is a selective progesterone receptor modulator. It acts by blocking the receptor of a hormone in the body called progesterone, which is involved in controlling the growth of the lining of the womb. In some women, progesterone may promote the growth of fibroids, which may cause symptoms such as heavy uterine bleeding, anaemia and abdominal pain. When progesterone activity is blocked, fibroid cells stop dividing and eventually die which reduces the size of the fibroids and reduces the symptoms caused by them.

Endometrial Changes: Endometrial Thickening or Progesterone receptor modulator Associated Endometrial Changes (PAEC). Ulipristal acetate has a specific pharmacodynamic action on the endometrium. An increase in thickness of the endometrium may occur. The thickness of the endometrium decreases to baseline levels upon treatment cessation. If the endometrial thickening persists beyond 3 months following the end of treatment and return of menstruations, this may need to be investigated as per usual clinical practice to exclude underlying conditions.
Bleeding Pattern: Patients should be informed that treatment with ulipristal acetate usually leads to a significant reduction in menstrual blood loss or amenorrhea within the first 10 days of treatment. Should the excessive bleeding persist, patients should notify their physician.
