Proluton Depot Injection 1ml

Proluton Depot Injection 1ml is an injection made by Schering Asia GMBH Pakistan that contains Medroxyprogesterone, a progestogen hormone. It is used for contraception, menstrual disorders and endometriosis. Pack size: 3 pcs.

Uses of Proluton Depot Injection 1ml

Proluton Depot Injection 1ml is used as a long-acting contraceptive injection that gives protection against pregnancy for several weeks at a time. Tablets are used to treat heavy, irregular or absent periods and endometriosis, and to protect the womb lining in hormone replacement therapy. Higher-strength forms are used by specialists in some hormone-sensitive cancers.

How Proluton Depot Injection 1ml 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

Proluton Depot Injection 1ml 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
• Mood changes

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.
• Discuss breastfeeding, depression and any other medicines you take with your doctor before starting.

Storage
