SAYANA PRESS – ADVANCED ALL-IN-ONE CONTRACEPTIVE PROTECTION

Sayana Press contains Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA), a potent progestogen hormone. It works by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg), thickening the cervical mucus to block sperm, and thinning the lining of the womb to prevent a fertilized egg from implanting. Unlike traditional injections that require a deep muscle (intramuscular) application, Sayana Press uses a specialized sub-cutaneous (under the skin) delivery system, providing a slow, steady release of hormones that protects against pregnancy for a full 13 weeks.

In Nigeria, Sayana Press is a revolutionary choice for modern family planning. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, pre-filled Uniject devices manufactured under strict international quality standards (Pfizer) and stored in temperature-monitored environments to maintain the hormonal stability of the 104mg dose.

Important: This is a long-acting, prescription-only contraceptive. It must be administered every 12 to 13 weeks to remain effective. Bone Density Note: Long-term use (more than 2 years) may lead to a temporary decrease in bone mineral density; ensure adequate Calcium and Vitamin D intake. Sayana Press does not protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If you suspect you are already pregnant, do not use this medication.

Key Uses & Benefits

Sayana Press 104mg Injections are primarily used to:

• Provide highly effective, long-term reversible contraception (over 99% effective)

• Offer a convenient "all-in-one" pre-filled device that eliminates the need for separate syringes

• Allow for discreet administration in the thigh or abdomen

• Manage heavy or painful menstrual periods (endometriosis-associated pain)

• Provide an alternative for women who cannot use estrogen-based birth control

• Reduce the "memory burden" of taking a daily contraceptive pill

Who Should Use Sayana Press?

This product is suitable for:

• Women of reproductive age seeking reliable, 3-month protection from pregnancy

• Breastfeeding mothers (typically starting 6 weeks after childbirth)

• Women who prefer a sub-cutaneous injection over a deep intramuscular shot

• Individuals requiring a "discreet" contraceptive method that is not visible to others

Not recommended for: Women who are already pregnant. It is strictly contraindicated for individuals with active liver disease, undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, or a history of breast cancer. Use with caution if you have a high risk for osteoporosis or severe cardiovascular disease. Not recommended for those planning to become pregnant within the next 12 months, as the return to fertility can take several months after the last injection.

Suggested Usage

• Administered once every 13 weeks (3 months); do not exceed 14 weeks between doses

• The injection is given sub-cutaneously (into the fatty tissue) of the anterior thigh or abdomen

• The pre-filled device must be shaken vigorously before use to ensure the white suspension is uniform

• The needle is tiny and designed for minimal discomfort compared to traditional injections

• It can be administered by a healthcare professional or, after proper training, by the patient themselves (self-injection)

• If the first injection is given during the first 5 days of a normal period, protection is immediate; otherwise, use a backup method (like condoms) for the first 7 days

Common Side Effects

Sayana Press is effective, but some individuals may experience:

• Changes in menstrual patterns (spotting, irregular bleeding, or complete absence of periods)

• Weight gain or increased appetite

• Mild headache or dizziness

• Mood changes or decreased libido

• Injection site reactions (mild dimpling or a small lump)

• Rare but serious: Severe allergic reaction or sudden heavy vaginal bleeding

Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience signs of a blood clot (sudden leg swelling or chest pain), yellowing of the skin/eyes, or a persistent severe headache.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Will I stop seeing my period?

Many women find that after a few injections, their periods become very light or stop altogether (amenorrhea). This is a normal effect of the hormone and is not harmful to your body.

How soon can I get pregnant after stopping?

Sayana Press is reversible, but because it is a "slow-release" formula, it can take 6 to 10 months (sometimes longer) for your regular ovulation and fertility to return after the last 13-week window has ended.

Does it cause weight gain?

Some women report a modest increase in weight (usually 1-2kg per year). Maintaining a healthy diet and active lifestyle can help manage this potential side effect.
