    Your next patient is a 17-year-old who admits she has a hard time remembering to take the Pill, but says she wants to avoid unintended pregnancy. When you begin to counsel on the injectable contraceptive Depo Provera [depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), Pfizer, New York City], what do you tell her about the drug? Read More

    Checking your next patient’s chart, you see that the young woman uses depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA, Depo-Provera, Pfizer, New York City) for birth control. When you ask about her last injection, she tells you she missed her scheduled shot because she was out of town. Read More

    Which drugs might impact the efficacy of the birth control pill? Comments are offered by Andrew Kaunitz, MD, professor and assistant chair in the obstetrics and gynecology department at the University of Florida Health Science Center/Jacksonville, and Susan Wysocki, RNC, NP, president and chief executive officer of the National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Health.

    STD Quarterly: New syphilis guidelines will change your practice
