Algestone acetophenide, also known more commonly as dihydroxyprogesterone acetophenide (DHPA) and sold under the brand names Perlutal and Topasel among others, is a progestin medication which is used in combination with an estrogen as a form of long-lasting injectable birth control.[3][4][5][6] It has also been used alone, but is no longer available as a standalone medication.[7][8][9] DHPA is not active by mouth and is given once a month by injection into muscle.[4][5][6]

Side effects of DHPA are similar to those of other progestins. DHPA is a progestin, or a synthetic progestogen, and hence is an agonist of the progesterone receptor, the biological target of progestogens like progesterone.[10][11][12] It has no other important hormonal activity.[10][13][11][12]

DHPA was discovered in 1958 and was introduced for medical use in the 1960s.[14][15][16] It was not introduced in the United States, but it is marketed widely throughout Latin America.[17][18][7][16] It was also previously available alone in Italy and as a combined injectable contraceptive in Portugal and Spain, but has been discontinued in these countries.[8]
