Algestone acetophenide (USAN) (brand names Neolutin, Droxone, Deladroxone, Decadroxone, Dexadroxate, Bovitrol), also known as dihydroxyprogesterone acetophenide (DHPA), is a steroidal progestin of the 17α-hydroxyprogesterone group that is used as a contraceptive.[1][2] It is marketed in combination with estradiol enanthate as a combined injectable contraceptive.[3][4][5] The drug is the ketal formed between algestone and acetophenone.[1][2] It is also described as a corticosteroid, similarly to other 17α-hydroxyprogesterone derivatives.[1] Algestone acetophenide is said to be both more potent and longer-acting than hydroxyprogesterone caproate.[6]
