Am I eligible for the Depo-Provera patient assistance program?

To find out if you are eligible for Depo-Provera assistance you can apply online using our enrollment application. Each pharmaceutical company sets its eligibility criteria, and we will review your application individually to determine if you may be eligible. The three main factors to consider are:

  • I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Depo-Provera patient assistance program?

Our application process aims to make it as easy as possible to apply for the Depo-Provera patient assistance program. The first step is to complete our online enrollment application. We will ask you for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income as this information is required by the pharmaceutical companies. We may be able to help you apply for other patient assistance programs too, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Depo-Provera.

NiceRx will review your application and determine whether you may be eligible for Depo-Provera assistance. If so, we will handle the full enrollment process for you and prepare all required documents for your healthcare provider to sign. Once you are successfully enrolled in the Depo-Provera patient assistance program, we will help you manage your prescription refills by requesting refills on your behalf throughout your enrollment period.

What is Depo-Provera?

Depo-Provera ((Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA)) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Pfizer. Depo-Provera is a progestin injectable contraceptive used for the prevention of pregnancy and to manage medical conditions related to your menstrual cycle. Depo-Provera suppresses ovulation, preventing your ovaries from releasing an egg. The cervical mucus also becomes thicker to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. Your health care provider may recommend Depo-Provera if:

  • You don’t want to take a birth control pill every day
  • You need or want to avoid using an estrogen-based contraceptive
  • You have certain health conditions such as anemia, seizures, sickle cell disease, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids

Depo-Provera is not recommended as a long-term birth control method (i.e., longer than 2 years of use) unless other forms of birth control are unsuitable.

What doses of Depo-Provera are available?

Depo-Provera is available in injection form, in the following doses: 50 mg per mL in prefilled syringes.

Depo-Provera will not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Some studies suggest hormonal contraceptives such as Depo-Provera may increase your risk of chlamydia and HIV. You are advised to use barrier contraceptive methods to prevent the transmission of STIs.

See the full prescribing information for the complete boxed warning, and always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
