- W4298147366 abstract "The injectable contraceptive depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) dissolves slowly and is released over 3 months to suppress ovulation. It is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. More than 30 million women in 90 countries have used DMPA and none have died from using it. A World Health Organization [WHO] study showed that DMPA did not significantly increase the risk of breast cancer or other cancers. One study points to a small reduction in bone density with DMPA use, but the reduction did not become larger with long-term use and may even be reversible. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) thoroughly reviewed these studies and the experiences of DMPA users. This review resulted in the FDA's approving DMPA as a contraceptive in October, 1992. Almost all DMPA users experience menstrual changes with irregular bleeding and spotting occurring during the 1st few months. After 12 months, at least 50% of DMPA users experience amenorrhea, which some women consider a benefit. Other possible but rare side effects are weight gain, headache, breast tenderness, loss of libido, depression, nervousness, and fatigue. It takes longer for past DMPA users to conceive after stopping DMPA use than users of other contraceptive methods, but by 18 months more than 90% of past DMPA users who wanted to become pregnant conceived. DMPA does not protect users from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or HIV/AIDS. They need to use latex condoms to prevent STD/HIV transmission. DMPA users must return to their health care provider every 3 months for another injection. DMPA is a viable contraceptive for women wanting a safe, reliable, long-term, reversible contraceptive. Any woman wanting to use DMPA should discuss it with her provider." @default.
