Same Medication: Depo Provera and Petegen are basically the same medication. You shouldn't notice a big difference switching from one to the other. Best wishes!

No: As far as I can tell, they seem to be comparable medications. As such, the side effect profile should be similar. Since you've been on Depo-Provera before with good tolerance presumed; I would expect the transition to Petogen to be uneventful. Good luck!
