Description
Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is an injectable form of birth control, commonly known as the “Depo shot” or “birth control shot.” It is administered by a healthcare provider into the arm or buttocks, although a version is also available for self-injection at home. This method provides protection against pregnancy for up to 14 weeks, but it is typically recommended to receive an injection every 12 weeks to maintain its effectiveness.
