The contraceptive injection (Depo-Provera, Sayana Press or Noristerat) releases the hormone progestogen into your bloodstream to prevent pregnancy. Depo-Provera is most commonly given in the UK and lasts for 13 weeks. Occasionally, Noristerat may be given, which lasts for 8 weeks.
Side Effects:
- Weight gain, headache
- nervousness
- abdominal pain or discomfort

- Physicians should administer the drug only to women found not to be pregnant, because fetal exposure may lead to low birth weight and other problems.
