FDA advisory committees unanimously recommended approval in 1973, 1975 and 1992, as did the FDA's professional medical staff, but the FDA repeatedly denied approval. Ultimately, on 29 October 1992, the FDA approved DMPA for birth control, which had by then been used by over 30 million women since 1969 and was approved and being used by nearly 9&#160;million women in more than 90&#160;countries, including the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a>, <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a>, <a href="/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sweden" title="Sweden">Sweden</a>, <a href="/wiki/Thailand" title="Thailand">Thailand</a>, <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand" title="New Zealand">New Zealand</a> and <a href="/wiki/Indonesia" title="Indonesia">Indonesia</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Leary1992_257-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Leary1992-257"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>248<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Points in the controversy included: </p> <ul><li>Animal testing for <a href="/wiki/Carcinogenicity" class="mw-redirect" title="Carcinogenicity">carcinogenicity</a> – DMPA caused breast cancer tumors in dogs.

The FDA pointed out that all substances carcinogenic to humans are carcinogenic to animals as well, and that if a substance is not carcinogenic it does not register as a carcinogen at high doses. Levels of DMPA which caused malignant mammary tumors in dogs were equivalent to 25 times the amount of the normal <a href="/wiki/Luteal_phase" title="Luteal phase">luteal phase</a> progesterone level for dogs.

Investigators who eventually visited noted that the studies were disorganized. "They found that data collection was questionable, consent forms and protocol were absent; that those women whose consent had been obtained at all were not told of possible side effects. Women whose known medical conditions indicated that use of DMPA would endanger their health were given the shot. Several of the women in the study died; some of cancer, but some for other reasons, such as suicide due to depression.

Reduced risk of ectopic pregnancy. Compared with women who use no contraceptive at all, women who use DMPA have a reduced risk for having an ectopic pregnancy. Although the overall risk of pregnancy and thus ectopic pregnancy is lowered by DMPA, the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy should be excluded if a woman using DMPA becomes pregnant. One study showed that 1.5% of women who got pregnant on DMPA had an ectopic pregnancy, the same ectopic rate as women who conceived while not using contraception.<sup>27</sup></q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=bookitem&amp;rft.atitle=Injectable+contraceptives&amp;rft.btitle=Contraceptive+technology&amp;rft.place=New+York&amp;rft.pages=212-213&amp;rft.edition=20th+revised&amp;rft.pub=Ardent+Media&amp;rft.date=2011&amp;rft_id=info%3Aoclcnum%2F781956734&amp;rft.isbn=978-1-59708-004-0&amp;rft.aulast=Bartz&amp;rft.aufirst=D&amp;rft.au=Goldberg%2C+AB&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AMedroxyprogesterone+acetate" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-56"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-56">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFBorgattaMurthyChuangBeardsley2002" class="citation journal cs1">Borgatta L, Murthy A, Chuang C, Beardsley L, Burnhill MS (September 2002).

The majority of published reports indicate that DMPA does not cause depressive symptoms. In a large, 1-year, clinical trial of DMPA in 3857 US women, fewer than 2% of users reported depression [15]. Other reports in various settings, including a private practice [96], adolescent clinics [97,98], a psychiatric hospital [99] and inner-city family-planning clinics [100,101], have not found an adverse effect of DMPA on depression. [...] Using a variety of objective indices for depressive symptoms, the overall data for both OCs and DMPA are supportive that these agents have no significant effect on mood. Although history of mood symptoms prior to OC use may predispose a subgroup of women to negative mood changes, the data for DMPA suggest that even women who have depressive symptoms prior to treatment can tolerate therapy with no exacerbation of these symptoms.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&amp;rft.genre=article&amp;rft.jtitle=Contraception&amp;rft.atitle=Depot-medroxyprogesterone+acetate+injection+%28Depo-Provera%29%3A+a+highly+effective+contraceptive+option+with+proven+long-term+safety&amp;rft.volume=68&amp;rft.issue=2&amp;rft.pages=75-87&amp;rft.date=2003-08&amp;rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1016%2Fs0010-7824%2803%2900136-7&amp;rft_id=info%3Apmid%2F12954518&amp;rft.aulast=Westhoff&amp;rft.aufirst=C&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AMedroxyprogesterone+acetate" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-pmid9649914-82"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-pmid9649914_82-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-pmid9649914_82-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-pmid9649914_82-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-pmid9649914_82-3"><sup><i><b>d</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFWesthoffTrumanKalmussCushman1998" class="citation journal cs1">Westhoff C, Truman C, Kalmuss D, Cushman L, Davidson A, Rulin M, Heartwell S (April 1998). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://doi.org/10.1016%2Fs0010-7824%2898%2900024-9">"Depressive symptoms and Depo-Provera"</a>. <i>Contraception</i>. <b>57</b> (4): 237–40. <a href="/wiki/Doi_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="Doi (identifier)">doi</a>:<span class="id-lock-free" title="Freely accessible"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://doi.org/10.1016%2Fs0010-7824%2898%2900024-9">10.1016/s0010-7824(98)00024-9</a></span>. <a href="/wiki/PMID_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="PMID (identifier)">PMID</a>&#160;<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9649914">9649914</a>.</cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&amp;rft.genre=article&amp;rft.jtitle=Contraception&amp;rft.atitle=Depressive+symptoms+and+Depo-Provera&amp;rft.volume=57&amp;rft.issue=4&amp;rft.pages=237-40&amp;rft.date=1998-04&amp;rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1016%2Fs0010-7824%2898%2900024-9&amp;rft_id=info%3Apmid%2F9649914&amp;rft.aulast=Westhoff&amp;rft.aufirst=C&amp;rft.au=Truman%2C+C&amp;rft.au=Kalmuss%2C+D&amp;rft.au=Cushman%2C+L&amp;rft.au=Davidson%2C+A&amp;rft.au=Rulin%2C+M&amp;rft.au=Heartwell%2C+S&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.1016%252Fs0010-7824%252898%252900024-9&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AMedroxyprogesterone+acetate" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FinkPfaff2011-83"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FinkPfaff2011_83-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFFinkPfaffLevine2011" class="citation book cs1">Fink G, Pfaff DW, Levine J (31 August 2011). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=Disx7IryLxUC&amp;pg=PA564"><i>Handbook of Neuroendocrinology</i></a>.
