Depo-Provera May Cause Loss of Bone Density

The FDA has put a warning out on Depo-Provera, which is a form of birth control where a woman gets a shot as a contraceptive. The warning is the strongest type ever by the FDA -- a black box warning. If a woman uses this type of birth control for too long, she will likely experience a loss of bone density. The FDA urges women to only use this type of birth contol if there are no other options left that will work for her.
