medicine. If you have further questions,

This medicine has been prescribed to
treat you. Do not pass it on to others. It
may harm them, even if it seems to you

1. WHAT IS THE MEDICINE INTENDED
FOR?
• Depo-Provera
®
is a contraceptive agent,
when there is a medical indication for
this and oral contraceptives (taken by
mouth) cannot be used.
THERAPEUTIC GROUP:
PROGESTOGENS
A progesterone derivative – Depo-
Provera
®
contains the active ingredient
medroxyprogesterone acetate, which is
chemically similar to the natural hormone
progesterone. Progesterone is produced
by the ovaries during the second half of the
menstrual cycle. Depo-Provera
®
prevents
the eggs in the ovaries from maturing,
thereby preventing their passage from
the ovaries into the womb, and therefore,
fertilization is not possible and pregnancy
is prevented. Depo-Provera
®
also acts by
changing the lining of the womb, which
makes it less likely for pregnancy to
occur, and by thickening the mucosa at
the entrance of the womb, making it more
difficult for sperm to enter.
Depo-Provera
®
is
given
as
an
intramuscular injection ONCE EVERY 12
WEEKS.
