A member asked:
Is depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) safe for anemic women?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Yes, depoprovera is safe in patients who are anemic. Depoprovera will help reduce the amount of blood lost during each menstrual period, which will help the patient conserve her iron stores.

Yes: Actually, Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) may eliminate menstrual periods in many women and help with iron deficiency which can lead to anemia. Most women are iron deficient to some degree by the mere fact that they menstruate.
