A member asked:

How long does it take for the depo-provera shot to get out of your system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is used for birth control. It can be administered im or sq. The half life of an im injection is 50-55 days, a bit longer for sq. This means the medication will remain in your system 250-275 days.(5x the 1/2 life).
