What Is Depo-SubQ Provera 104?

depo-subQ Provera 104^® (medroxyprogesterone subcutaneous injection) is an injectable prescription medication approved for the following uses:

Preventing pregnancy
Relieving pain from endometriosis, a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of the uterus.

depo-subQ Provera 104 contains medroxyprogesterone, a progestin hormone. It comes as a liquid that is injected into the tissue just below the skin. This is known as a subcutaneous (SC or subQ) injection.

depo-subQ Provera 104 is not the same medication as Depo-Provera^® (medroxyprogesterone intramuscular injection). Both medicines are long-acting contraceptives (lasting up to three months with each shot) that contain the hormone medroxyprogesterone. However, Depo-Provera contains higher doses of medroxyprogesterone and is given as an intramuscular injection (into the muscle).
