Important Update regarding Depo-Progesterone Injections

Recent safety updates have highlighted a possible link between prolonged use of high-dose progestogens—including Depo-Provera—and an increased risk of meningioma. Although the risk remains low, regulators advise discussing alternatives for patients using long-term injectable contraception.

Want to Talk About Your Options?
We are offering a friendly, confidential drop-in clinic to discuss:
· The latest safety information
· Your personal contraceptive needs
· Safer long-term alternatives, such as:
o The coil (IUD/IUS)
o The Nexplanon implant

Drop-In Clinic with Nurse Jo
Every Wednesday 2:00pm – 5:00pm No appointment needed.
Alternatively you can book an appointment ideally with Nurse Jo or Nurse Heidi to discuss your options by calling the practice or sending us a message https://florey.accurx.com/p/M82043
