Product Name: Depo Provera Injection 150mg/ml

Depo Provera Injection 150mg/ml is a highly effective, long-term birth control medication. This injectable suspension contains 150mg/ml of Medroxyprogesterone acetate, a progestin hormone that prevents pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation and thickening the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. The product offers continuous protection against unplanned pregnancy for about 12 to 14 weeks.

How Depo Provera Works

Depo Provera works by slowly releasing Medroxyprogesterone into the body, which suppresses the normal cyclic pattern of the pituitary gland and ovaries, thereby preventing ovulation. In addition, it alters the cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.

Depo Provera Key Benefits

- Effective contraceptive: Offers over 99% effectiveness in preventing pregnancy when used as directed. - Long-lasting: Provides continuous protection for about 12 to 14 weeks per injection. - Private: No daily reminders or physical evidence of contraceptive use.

Usage and Safety of Depo Provera Injection 150mg/ml

Depo Provera should be administered by a healthcare provider, via injection into a muscle (intramuscular). It's given every 12 to 14 weeks, and the first injection should be given during the first 5 days of a normal menstrual period.

Adverse Effects

Potential side effects may include changes in menstrual periods, weight gain, nausea, stomach cramping or pain, bloating, dizziness, and headache. A healthcare provider should be contacted if these symptoms persist or worsen.
