Ingredients

• Medroxyprogesterone

Benefits

Depo-Provera offers hassle-free contraception for those who find it inconvenient or impossible to take a pill every day. It provides effective prevention against pregnancy for 12 to 14 weeks with just one injection. Don’t forget that it doesn’t protect against sexually transmitted diseases though.

How it works

Depo-Provera contains Medroxyprogesterone, a hormone that prevents ovulation, thickens the mucus in the cervix, and thins the lining of the uterus. These combined functions make it harder for sperm to reach any eggs and for an egg to implant into the womb.

Dosage

The usual dose is one injection every 12 weeks. It is essential that the shot is given in a precise manner to ensure effectiveness. Please consult your health professional for specific directions.

Specifications

Every pre-filled Depo-Provera syringe contains 150mg/1ml of Medroxyprogesterone. It should be stored below 25 degrees Celsius and protected from light and moisture. Always ensure to check the expiry date before use.
