Doctors warned on Depo Provera side effects and approval

The institute cites 45 callers, only four told of side effects and status, while research suggests possible nine month fertility delay. Mishell notes temporary delay, not permanent, and County USC Medical Center uses the drug for specific patients where other methods are unsuitable.
