Which contraceptive injection is best?

Published in Contraceptive Options 1 min read

Determining the "best" contraceptive injection depends on individual needs and preferences, but let's examine the effectiveness of one common option.

Depo-Provera® Effectiveness

  • Effectiveness Rate: Depo-Provera® is 96% effective in preventing pregnancy. This means that approximately 4 out of 100 women may experience an unplanned pregnancy each year while using it.
  • Risk Factors: Younger women, particularly adolescents, are at a higher risk of accidental pregnancy while using Depo-Provera®.

It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss your individual needs, medical history, and lifestyle to determine the most suitable contraceptive method for you. Other factors, like side effects and personal preferences, should also influence the decision.
