A member asked:

If the depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) (?) birth control is incorrectly injected will it still do its job or is there a risk of pregnancy. recent mood changes/cravings

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depo provera (medroxyprogesterone): What does it mean by incorrectly injecting depo-provera? It's an intramuscular injection so i would think if it is injected in the muscle, it should work just fine.
