Depo-Provera Overview
Depo-Provera Special Dietary Instructions
While taking Depo-Provera, you should eat plenty of foods that are rich in calcium and vitamin D, in order to help decrease the loss of calcium in your bones. Your healthcare professional should be able to recommend foods that are good sources of these nutrients, suggest the number of servings you need each day, and/or recommend the use of calcium or vitamin D supplements.
Depo-Provera - Getting Legal Help
While all medications have certain anticipated side effects, a drug manufacturer has a duty to make its products as reasonably safe as possible, and to inform the medical community and the public of known risks associated with its drugs. If a manufacturer fails to do so, it can be held legally responsible if patients are injured as the result of inadequate warnings or the unreasonably dangerous nature of the drug, under a legal theory called "product liability."
If you or a loved one have experienced any dangerous symptoms or unusual medical conditions while using Depo-Provera, you should first contact your doctor or other healthcare professional. You may also wish to meet with an experienced attorney to discuss your options and to protect your right to a legal remedy for any injuries caused by Depo-Provera use.
