Uses of Depotone Injection 1ml / (Depo-Queen)

Depotone Injection 1ml / (Depo-Queen) is used as a long-acting contraceptive injection that gives protection against pregnancy for several weeks at a time.

Higher-strength forms are used by specialists in some hormone-sensitive cancers.

How Depotone Injection 1ml / (Depo-Queen) works

Medroxyprogesterone is a synthetic form of progesterone. As a contraceptive, it stops the ovaries from releasing eggs, thickens cervical mucus and thins the womb lining. In menstrual disorders it stabilises the womb lining so bleeding becomes more regular and controlled.

Possible side effects

Depotone Injection 1ml / (Depo-Queen) can cause hormonal side effects, particularly in the early months. These may include:

• Irregular bleeding or spotting
• Periods stopping altogether
• Weight gain
• Headache
• Breast tenderness

Get urgent medical help for pain or swelling in one leg, chest pain, sudden breathlessness, a severe headache, sudden vision changes or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Precautions and warnings

• Long-term use of the contraceptive injection can reduce bone density, which usually recovers after stopping; your doctor will review whether it remains suitable, especially for teenagers and women at risk of osteoporosis.
• Fertility may take several months or longer to return after stopping the injection, so discuss this if you plan a pregnancy soon.
• Tell your doctor about any history of blood clots, stroke, breast cancer, liver disease or unexplained vaginal bleeding.
• It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, and it must not be used if you are pregnant.
