Pari Contraceptive Injection

Pari Contraceptive Injection belongs to a group of medicines called progestogens used as a long-acting contraceptive. Contraception is a procedure that aims to prevent unwanted pregnancy for safe family planning.

Pari Contraceptive Injection contains medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), which is similar to (but not the same as) the natural hormone progesterone, which is produced in the ovaries during the second half of your menstrual cycle. During your menstrual cycle, Pari Contraceptive Injection prevents an egg from fully maturing and being discharged from the ovaries. If an egg is not released, it cannot be fertilised by sperm and result in pregnancy.

Pari Contraceptive Injection will be administered by your doctor or healthcare professional. In some cases, you may have nervousness, headache, stomach pain or discomfort, weight increase or decrease, libido decreased (reduced sex drive), dizziness, and feeling sick and depressed. Most of these side effects of Pari Contraceptive Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Let your doctor know before prescribing Pari Contraceptive Injection if you have, or had migraine headaches, diabetes, Severe pain or swelling in the calf, eye disorders, depression, liver or kidney disorders, osteoporosis, asthma, or epilepsy. And also inform your doctor if you are pregnant or expecting pregnancy or breastfeeding or taking if you are using certain medicines such as high-dose glucocorticoids (steroids).

Pari Contraceptive Injection contains medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), which is close to (but not the same as) progesterone, a natural hormone secreted in the ovaries during the second half of your menstrual cycle. Pari Contraceptive Injection prevents an egg from fully developing and being released from the ovaries during your menstrual cycle. An egg that is not released cannot be fertilised by sperm and result in pregnancy. On the other hand, it also induces changes in the lining of your womb, making conception less likely. It also thickens the mucus at the womb's opening, making sperm entry more difficult.

Pari Contraceptive Injection should not be used if you are allergic to any of its components. Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the substances.
