Depo Provera is the brand name (manufactured by Pfizer) for contraceptive injection, widely used in the USA and other parts of the world for decades. Users also know this drug as a Depo shot or birth control shot. The use of contraceptive drugs helps users prevent unwanted pregnancy as it effectively prevents ovaries from releasing eggs. Meanwhile, it also thickens cervical mucus, restraining the male sperm from reaching the female eggs.
Brain Tumors: Even though the manufacturers did not warn of this health impact, many studies have found that frequent use of Depo Provera can cause rare brain tumors.
Bone loss: Depo-Provera can cause bone loss as it potentially (if used excessively) reduces bone mineral density. That, as a result, causes osteoporosis.
