Q. What is Depokare 150mg Injection used for?
Depokare 150mg Injection is a birth control method for women. It is made up of a hormone similar to progesterone, which is naturally produced in the body. It helps to prevent the development and release of egg from the ovaries during menstrual cycle thus prevents pregnancy.
Q. When and how to take Depokare 150mg Injection ?
The first dose is usually given within 5 days of starting of your period. It is given as an injection into the muscle of the arm or buttocks, either by a doctor or nurse. A single dose of this injection is effective for 12 weeks. Therefore, after every 12 weeks you need to take this injection to avoid pregnancy.
Q. Does Depokare 150mg Injection provide 100% protection from pregnancy?
No, Depokare 150mg Injection is only 97% effective, which means 3 out of 100 women using Depokare 150mg Injection may get pregnant. However, if you are taking every dose on time then the medicine can be more than 99% effective.

Q. When does Depokare 150mg Injection start working?
Depokare 150mg Injection starts working immediately if given within the first 5 days of beginning of your periods.

Depokare 150mg Injection is almost 100% effective and has many advantages. A single dose works for at least 12 weeks. During that time, you do not need to take daily oral contraceptive pills.

It may also be helpful in relieving painful periods.
Q. What if I am late for my injection?
Depokare 150mg Injection injections should be given every 12 weeks. If you wait longer than 13 weeks between injections, you may need to take a pregnancy test before your next injection. You should opt for other methods of contraception, like condoms, for 14 days after having the late injection.
