About Dimple Contraceptive Injection

Dimple 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.

Dimple 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, Dimple 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.

Dimple 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 Dimple Contraceptive Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Medicinal Benefits

Dimple 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. Dimple 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.

Storage

Disease/Condition Glossary

Contraception: It is a procedure that aims to prevent pregnancy. A woman can only get pregnant if a man's sperm fertilizes her egg. Contraception aims to prevent this from happening by keeping egg and sperm apart by stopping egg production or not letting the uterus wall become thick. As a result, no fertilization takes place, so contraception is a safe method for family planning.
