WHAT ARE COMMON SIDE EFFECTS OF depo-subQ provera 104?
The most common side effects are:
· Changes in your monthly periods. You may not know when you will bleed, your periods
may not be regular, you may have heavy bleeding, or you may have spotting. You may have
more days of bleeding during the first 2 or 3 months after you start depo-subQ provera 104.
Over time, you may have less and less bleeding. Many women stop having periods by the
end of one year. Your periods will come back eventually after you stop using depo-subQ
provera 104.
· Weight gain. In studies, women gained an average of 3 to 4 pounds during the first year they
used depo-subQ provera 104. After 2 years of using depo-subQ provera 104, women gained
an average of 7 to 8 pounds. Some women gained more, some gained less, some lost, and
some stayed the same. Weight changes beyond 2 years of use with depo-subQ provera 104
have not been studied. Women who used a similar birth control product for 5 years gained
on average 5 pounds more than women who did not use a hormone contraceptive product.
· Skin reaction where you got the shot. Lumps, skin dimpling, or pain are usually mild and
usually don’t last long. Scarring is unusual, but may happen. If there is swelling or your skin
gets hot, has pus or looks bruised one or more days after your shot, call your healthcare
provider.
· Headache.
Women using depo-subQ provera 104 for birth control or endometriosis had these less common
side effects: abdominal pain, acne, breast tenderness, being irritable, depression, hot flushes,
insomnia, joint pain, lack of energy, less sex drive, nausea and sleepiness.
If you feel you are having other side effects, talk with your healthcare provider.
