“…Progesterone receptor modulators (PRMs) act directly on progesterone receptors in the smooth muscle of UFs, resulting in inhibition of cell proliferation and stimulation of apoptosis [7,8]. In women with UFs, treatment with PRMs such as mifepristone, asoprisnil and ulipristal acetate (UPA) has been shown to induce amenorrhoea [9][10][11][12][13]; furthermore, UPA has been shown to reduce UF size to a similar extent as uterine artery embolization [14]. UPA (5 mg daily) is approved in the European Union for the intermittent treatment of moderate to severe symptoms of UFs in adult women of reproductive age [15].…”
