Depo-Provera
Depo-Provera is a white sterile liquid. Each dose contains the hormone Progesterone in a solution that contains methylparaben (E218), macrogol 3350, polysorbate 80, propylparaben (E216), sodium chloride and water. Hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide may also be added when the solution is being made to adjust its acidity or alkalinity to the correct level.
The contraceptive injection is injected into your body every 2-3 months and steadily releases the hormone progestogen into your bloodstream. It prevents pregnancy in three ways - by stopping ovulation, making the fluid in your cervix thicker (which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb), and preventing the lining of your womb thickening enough for an embryo to grow in it.
