Depo Injections


The contraceptive injection releases the hormone progestogen into your bloodstream.

​It stops ovulation, thickens cervical mucus, and thins the womb lining — making it more than 99% effective when used correctly.

Who can use it?

Most people can, but it may not be suitable if you have certain medical conditions (for example, heart disease, liver issues, or osteoporosis).

Speak to your GP or get in touch with our service for tailored advice.
