The decision to ban the contraceptive injection Depo-Provera is part of a multi-stakeholder effort by the South African government to address the growing problem of pregnancy outside the mother's arm.
Depo-Provera, which has been in use since 1992, is a hormonal birth control shot used to prevent pregnancy outside the mother's arm. It works by stopping ovulation, thinning of the cervical mucus, thinning of the uterine lining and thinning of the uterine bleeding. Depo-Provera, which was banned in South Africa by the government in 2013, is the only form of hormonal birth control that prevents pregnancy outside the mother's arm.
The decision comes after a significant medical review was completed by the Medical Research Council (MRC) in July 2013 to examine the health risks associated with hormonal birth control. MRC concluded Depo-Provera is associated with a higher risk of death and a higher risk of major birth defects.
“While the health of women and men can be very sensitive, we are not convinced that women who have had an unplanned pregnancy should have this form of contraception,” said Professor Kwa-Byun Kim, MRC professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Cape Town.
“While there is an increased need for effective and safe contraception, women who take Depo-Provera are more likely to become pregnant. This is a very important problem for all women who need to be protected.”
“Our research is very comprehensive and provides good evidence for the use of Depo-Provera, but we do not believe that it should be banned,” said Dr Kim.
Depo-Provera is available in 150 countries and countries including South Africa, Uganda, Ghana, Kenya, Senegal, South Africa, Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Uganda. It has also been approved for use in some countries including Uganda, but only in the United States.
It is important that women who take Depo-Provera are closely monitored, especially in early pregnancy.
“It is important to note that the risk of birth defects has increased in many developing countries, particularly South Africa, where there is a high level of risk. It is a major concern for the country, and there is no specific evidence for the use of Depo-Provera,” said Kim. “The availability of contraceptive options in the South African context is not supported by the evidence and is only available in South Africa.
“While the risk of having a pregnancy outside the mother's arm is minimal in South Africa, it is important to consider that many women have been using this form of contraception for a long time. It is not uncommon for a woman to have a child with the same contraceptive when she is not pregnant.”
Dr Kim’s view is that the benefits of Depo-Provera outweigh the risks. “It is also important that all women who take Depo-Provera, whether they are having children or not, have a healthy pregnancy rate with the use of the contraceptive,” she said. “If a woman who is pregnant has a healthy pregnancy, it is important that she has a good prognosis for the pregnancy and that she can use the contraceptive to prevent pregnancy outside the mother's arm."The decision to ban the Depo-Provera shot is part of a multi-stakeholder effort by the South African government to address the growing problem of pregnancy outside the mother's arm.

Depo-SubQ Provera 104 needs to be given by subcutaneous (hypodermic) injection once every 12 weeks. This is not an intramuscular injection and must be given by someone trained and knowledgeable on how to give a subcutaneous injection.
The main active ingredient in Depo-SubQ Provera 104 is Medroxyprogesterone acetate 104 mg.
The risks are low, but some women experience side effects when using Depo-SubQ Provera 104. Minor ones include (spotting) or some gain weight. Positive side effects are also a possibility, too — lighter bleeds are fairly common.
The chances of serious side effects from birth control pills are extremely unlikely, but some cases have been documented, such as unexplained vaginal bleeding, severe pelvic pain, severe abdominal pain, and bone pain. Depo-SubQ 104 has been associated with lower bone mineral density (BMD). However, pregnancy results in a greater potential loss of BMD. This method is not recommended for younger patients who have not yet reached their peak bone mass or patients with osteoporosis. Alternatives to Depo-SubQ Provera would be the pill, patch, ring.
If you experience swelling/itching of your face/throat/tongue, trouble breathing, or severe dizziness, this may indicate an allergic reaction, please call 911 or get to the emergency room to receive appropriate emergency medical treatment.

This is not intended for immediate delivery and should be used as a last resort for other serious medical conditions.
A common course of treatment with IUDs is by Irrigation. Irrigation methods include air embossing, wetwaxing, cuttings, and adhesive cutters. Irrigation methods do not provide birth control options for women who do not wish to use additional methods of care.
IUDs should be used only as long as needed, even if the patient feels the IUD is not working as intended. If the IUD is not working right away, ask your doctor or pharmacist if you can give it a try.

Provera 20
This drug is a synthetic androgen agonist that is used in the treatment of male infertility. Provera is a hormone which has been produced in the ovaries by a process called ‘ovulation’.ovulation is when sperm and eggs are released from the ovaries and released from the ovary and are released into the fallopian tube. In the menstrual cycle, sperm are released into the fallopian tube to fertilise the egg which causes the ovaries to release an egg (or egg) which then triggers the first cycle of pregnancy. During the first year of pregnancy, the baby will have a normal womb length but after this time the ovaries are no longer producing sperm.
