Abstract
Our data provide evidence of a dose-response relationship between DMPA and BMD loss. Intramuscular DMPA doses less than 150 mg can decrease risk of BMD loss in adolescents. The risk/benefit ratio of lower-dose DMPA should be further investigated in larger and more diverse adolescent populations.
