  • Title: [Use of Depo Provera as a contraceptive in the puerperium].
    Author: Narducci U, Piatti N.
    Journal: Minerva Ginecol; 1973 Feb; 25(2):107-11. PubMed ID: 4735312.
    Abstract:
    Use of Depo-Provera for contraception during the postpartum period is reported. Contraceptive efficiency of 100% for more than 6 months was observed after injections of 150 mg on the 5th day postpartum and after 3 months. Estragenital and lactation side effects were negligeable. Spotting was observed in 21 patients, and bleeding in 7. Physiological amenorrhea continued to the 7th month in 24 patients. The authors believe that depoprovera is particularly indicated, and has fewer side effects, in the puerperium.
