Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
16 year old is taking Depo shots every 3 months but has been increasingly gaining weight. Doctor suggested try Norplant in stead for possible less weight gain. The implantation procedure sounds painful and possible side effects are off-putting. Just how safe is Norplant?
