Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is a form of progesterone, a female hormone that prevents ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medicine also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.

Depo-Provera and depo-subQ provera 104 injections are used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.

depo-subQ provera 104 injection is also used to reduce pain caused by endometriosis.
