What Is Depo-Provera?
Depo-Provera is a widely used injectable birth control developed by Upjohn (now Pfizer). Approved by the FDA in 1992, it delivers medroxyprogesterone acetate every three months to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation and altering cervical mucus. Since its introduction, millions of women have chosen it for its convenience. However, early concerns about side effects like bone density loss and cancer risks sparked debates, with the FDA initially rejecting approval in the 1970s due to safety concerns. Despite its popularity, recent evidence suggests serious health risks were not adequately disclosed.
