Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Some of the side effects of ProVera Depo injection are:
missed periods, breast tenderness, Breakthrough bleeding, Change in menstrual flow, Spotting, Edema, Anorexia, Weakness, Pain at injection site.

And if you wanna go off periods; being your physician, I would have prescribed you Utovlan 5mg tablet, to be taken by mouth 1 tablet 3 times a day. Start taking the tablet 3 days before your period is due to start. And keep taking as long as you are not ready to come back. Your periods will start usually within 3 days of discontinuation of the drug.

Hope I answered all of your questions. In future, if you need further, detailed and quick assistance on any health issue, feel free to click on 'Ask me a question' directly from my profile. Have a wonderful time ahead.
Regards!
