Depo-Provera is the Pfizer brand name of the intra-muscularly (IM) injectable form of the hormonal contraceptive Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA). There are currently two injectable contraceptive products that both contain DMPA. In addition to DMPA-IM, which can only be injected by a healthcare provider, there is sub-cutaneous DMPA or DMPA-SC, and this can be injected by either a provider or by oneself (self-inject) after receiving initial training. DMPA-SC is also known by its Pfizer brand name Sayana Press. Different people use the term ‘Depo’ in different ways and it’s possible that they are referring to Depo-Provera specifically, or more broadly to any form of Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, which could include DMPA-SC / self-inject / Sayana Press as well.
