Dosage and duration are determined individually by your doctor, and the injection should be continued only as prescribed. Commonly reported side effects include headache, dizziness, stomach pain, anxiety, weight increase, and breast sensitivity.

FAQs on Dimple Contraceptive Injection

Dimple Contraceptive Injection is a hormonal birth control method for women. Containing a progesterone-like hormone, it prevents pregnancy by inhibiting egg development and release from the ovaries.
The initial injection is administered within five days of your period's start, intramuscularly in the arm or buttock by a healthcare professional. This single dose prevents pregnancy for 12 weeks; subsequent injections are needed every 12 weeks for continued protection.
Dimple Contraceptive Injection is 97% effective, meaning approximately 3 out of 100 users may still become pregnant. Consistent, timely use increases effectiveness to over 99%.
Fertility typically returns within three months of discontinuing the Dimple Contraceptive Injection, though it may take up to a year. Therefore, avoid using Dimple if you plan a pregnancy soon, unless advised by your doctor.
Dimple Contraceptive Injection may cause temporary side effects such as irregular or absent periods, weight gain, headaches, stomach pain, dizziness, acne, and breast tenderness. Persistent side effects warrant a doctor's consultation.
The Dimple Contraceptive Injection is effective immediately when administered within the first five days of your period. Otherwise, effectiveness may take 7-10 days, so use a backup method like condoms during this time to prevent pregnancy.
Dimple Contraceptive Injection offers highly effective, long-lasting contraception. A single injection provides protection for at least three months, eliminating the need for daily pills and without impacting sexual activity. It significantly reduces endometrial cancer risk (by 80%) and may alleviate painful periods.
Dimple injections must be administered every 12 weeks. Delays exceeding 13 weeks necessitate a pregnancy test prior to the next injection. Use alternative contraception, such as condoms, for 14 days following a late injection.
