What Is Depo-Provera?
Depo-Provera is an injectable contraceptive drug manufactured by Pfizer. It contains a hormone called medroxyprogesterone acetate, which stops ovulation, thickens cervical mucus, and thins the uterine lining.
Administered on a three-month basis, the drug was marketed as a safe and convenient drug to prevent pregnancy. After being banned by the FDA in 1978 over concerns that it might cause cancer, Depo-Provera was reapproved as a contraceptive in 1992.
