Triclofem (DMPA) is used for long-term contraception in women aged over 18 years. It can also be used for short-term contraception to cover specific periods when: the patient's partner is awaiting vasectomy to become effective; the patient is awaiting sterilization; the patient is awaiting immunization against rubella to become effective.
Triclofem (DMPA) may be used in adolescents aged over 12 years if there is compelling reason for contraception and other methods are unsuitable or unacceptable.
Women who are living with HIV or are on antiretroviral (ARV) therapy can safely use DMPA.
