Dear Miriam

Depo-provera and oral progestative pill are not exactly the same product,
but they are progestative. It is said in my  medical dictionnary that the
difference with depo-provera is not in relation with a different action, but
with the retention of the product at the site of the injection. The two have
same metabolism.
