Depo-Provera is the brand name of the drug medroxyprogesterone, which is an injection used to prevent pregnancy. A form of this medication may also be used to treat endometriosis (a condition where tissue that lines the uterus grows in other areas of the body). Depo-Provera is in a class of drugs known as progestins. It works by preventing the ovaries from releasing eggs and thinning the lining of the uterus.
Each injection gives you protection against pregnancy for 12 weeks. When you have the Depo-Provera injection within the first five days of your menstrual cycle, it works 24hrs after the injection. When you have the Depo-Provera injection after the first five days of your menstrual cycle, it works after 14 days. When the Depo-Provera injection is given to a woman after she has given birth, or had a miscarriage or an abortion, it works immediately. You can get Depo-Provera from your health care provider.
