Key Benefits & Uses

• Prevention of pregnancy and contraception

Active Ingredient & Action

Medroxyprogesterone acetate is a synthetic progestin that works by thickening the cervical mucus, preventing sperm from reaching the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus, making it less receptive to implantation. It also helps to regulate menstrual cycles and reduce menstrual cramps.

DEPO-PROVERA should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider and is not recommended for women who are breastfeeding or have a history of blood clots, stroke, or liver disease.

It is essential to discuss the potential benefits and risks with a healthcare provider before starting treatment.
