Re: a question for youFrom: K Dew (kdew@bellsouth.net)Sat Jan 13 07:26:47 2001
I have had pretty good luck using the following whenever I have a patient in whom I wish to induce amenorrhea. The Depo Provera comes in 400 mg/ml vial 100 mg/month until amenorrheic then 150 mg q three months. In patients such as the 11 yr old described in the original post, who started out at 150 mg/3 months, I feel that either waiting, usually amenorrhea occurs at or around the time of the third injection (i.e. 9 months or so into the regimen). Of course, the OCP for a month or so isn't a bad approach either. Kevin Dew, MD OB/GYN Bardstown, KY

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
