What side effects are possible?
Some side effects can be managed with birth control medications. However, there are some other contraceptive methods that can be used to prevent pregnancy.
The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today approved the first of the birth control injections for women whose menstrual periods are irregular and who have gone through menopause. This drug, known as Depo-Provera, is the first hormonal birth control to be approved for use in women whose periods have become less than 36 months.
The approval of Depo-Provera, also known as Depo-Provera, is a first step toward an important advance in contraceptive health care. The drug's primary purpose is to prevent the development of unwanted pregnancies and may prevent women from becoming pregnant, thus preventing them from going through menopause.
The FDA's decision to approve Depo-Provera marks the first step in the long journey toward contraceptive medicine for women. In a recent study, the agency found that about 20 percent of women who use birth control injections are at risk for developing unwanted pregnancies, and as many as 25 percent of them are at risk for other health problems, such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems.
"It's a tremendous breakthrough," said Dr. Sarah Thompson, a leading obstetrician-gynecologist at the University of Minnesota. "We hope this will encourage others to be aware of this important health need."
The FDA's decision to approve Depo-Provera marks the first step in a long-term commitment for contraceptive health care. The agency recently completed a study comparing Depo-Provera and birth control methods for the first time. In this study, women who had used Depo-Provera had higher pregnancy rates than those who had not used the birth control method.
Women using Depo-Provera had a slightly higher risk of developing unwanted pregnancies than did those using no birth control method, with the exception of premenstrual symptoms, for which the risk of pregnancy was about 5 percent higher than those who used Depo-Provera.
For the study, the researchers analyzed data from 1,841 women who took Depo-Provera, the only hormonal birth control available on the market. They also analyzed data from 2,841 women who had used the contraceptive during the study period. The researchers found that women using Depo-Provera had a slightly increased risk of developing unwanted pregnancies compared to those who did not use the contraceptive.
Women who used Depo-Provera had a slightly increased risk of developing unwanted pregnancies compared to those who used the contraceptive who did not use the contraceptive. The researchers also noted that a higher percentage of women using Depo-Provera had a history of diabetes, including those who used the contraceptive at least four weeks before the study period.
The findings were published in the August issue of theJournal of the American Medical Association.
"Women are often worried about having children at the time of menopause," said Dr. Susan Zagel, a medical assistant professor at the University of Southern California and the lead author of the study. "But we know that this is not a lifetime decision."
Depo-Provera is also a treatment option for endometriosis, a condition that affects the lining of the uterus, which is the tissue that lines the uterus's lining. The FDA approves these options for use in women who are at risk of endometrial cancer or who have undergone surgery to treat endometriosis.
The FDA's decision to approve Depo-Provera marks a significant step forward in the contraceptive treatment of women whose periods are irregular or are less than 36 months.

It is used in the treatment of the following conditions:
Medroxyprogesterone acetate works by blocking the action of an enzyme called aromatase, which is responsible for producing and suppressing estrogen production on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. By doing so, it reduces the production of estrogen and stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles, increasing the number of eggs released, and reducing the levels of circulating estrogen in the body. Injecting medroxyprogesterone acetate, it is injected into the vagina using a needle or syringe.
