Back to index Depo-Provera Additional information About Depo-Provera
Depo-Provera is a progestin injection. Progestins in general help prevent fertilization by preventing a woman's egg from fully developing. In addition, they cause changes at the opening of the uterus that make it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg. The Depo-Provera injection is administered in either the woman's buttock or he upper arm. It is repeated four times a year for year-round pregnancy prevention. Proper Depo-Provera Usage

Store away from heat and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children. The medicine should not be frozen. Missed Depo-Provera Dosage
If it has been longer than 13 weeks since your last injection, your physicain may want you to stop receiving Depo-Provera for a while. You will need to use a different birth control method (such as condoms) until it is determined that you are not pregnant. Depo-Provera's Side Effects
Women who use Depo-Provera may lose significant bone mineral density. The bone loss is greater with increasing duration of use and may not be completely reversible; therefore, Depo-Provera should be used as a long-term birth control method (e.g. longer than two years) only if other birth control methods are inadequate. Depo-Provera may be a risk factor for development of osteoporosis. Drug Interactions with Depo-Provera

Depo-Provera has been determined to be 99.7% effective in preventing conception. Progestins do not protect a woman from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The use of latex (rubber) condoms or abstinence is recommended for protection from these diseases. See "Side Effects" for additional precautionary information. ABOUT PFIZER
