Title
DMPA's effect on bone mineral density: A particular concern for adolescents.
Authors
Schrager, Sarina B.
Abstract
The article discusses the use of the injectable progestin-only depot-medroxyprogesterone (DMPA) and its potential for decreasing bone mineral density (BMD) in adolescent women. The author cites several studies that examined the relationship between DMPA and BMD. One early study found that DMPA users had significantly lower BMD than nonusers.
