• Reduces menstrual bleeding: Depogen 150mg Injection often makes menstrual periods lighter, shorter, and less painful. In some people, periods may stop altogether after several months of use, which can help reduce heavy menstrual bleeding and lower the risk of iron-deficiency anaemia.

• The timing and frequency of Depogen 150mg Injection will be determined by your doctor, based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
• This medication should only be administered by a qualified healthcare provider.
• Do not attempt self-administration of the injection.

• Increase calcium and vitamin D: This medication can sometimes cause a temporary decrease in bone mineral density. Eat calcium-rich foods like dairy, leafy greens, and almonds, or talk to your doctor about taking daily calcium and vitamin D supplements.
• Perform weight-bearing exercises: Regularly engage in activities like walking, jogging, hiking, or strength training to help protect and maintain your bone strength.
• Avoid smoking: Smoking while using hormonal medications significantly increases your risk of developing blood clots, stroke, or heart issues.
• Limit alcohol intake: Excess alcohol consumption can weaken your bones further and increase the risk of osteoporosis, especially when combined with this therapy.
• Keep a symptoms journal: Note any changes in your bleeding patterns, mood, or weight so you can easily review them with your doctor during your routine follow-up visits.

• Inspect before use: Check the solution before injection. Do not use it if it contains large particles, is severely cloudy, or is discoloured.
• Shake well: Shake the vial or pre-filled syringe vigorously immediately before use to ensure the medicine is evenly mixed.
• Rotate injection sites: Change the injection site with each dose to help reduce the risk of skin dimpling, scarring, or local irritation.
• Do not miss doses: Set a reminder to receive your injection on schedule, as delays may reduce its effectiveness.
• Never reuse injection equipment: Always use a new needle and syringe for each injection and dispose of used sharps in a suitable sharps container.
• Inform your healthcare providers: Tell your doctor, dentist, surgeon, and other healthcare providers that you are using this long-acting injection, as it may remain in your body for several months.
