Launched in 1992, Depo-Provera by Pfizer Inc. has gained popularity as an effective and convenient birth control injection containing medroxyprogesterone, a synthetic progesterone.

Besides birth control, Depo-Provera also treats endometriosis, injected into the muscle of the upper arm or buttocks quarterly. It suppresses ovulation with a high dose of progestin. At 150 mg/mL, it's considered one of the most effective contraceptives, on par with sterilization, minimizing unintended pregnancies.
