Key Benefits
Sayana Press 104mg/0.65ml 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. Sayana Press 104mg/0.65ml 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.
