Estraval Depot Injection can be given at home. You don't need to go to your provider's office to receive your monthly dose. But, you will need to be taught how to correctly give yourself the injection.
Make sure the needle and syringe you are using to draw up estraval depot injection are dry. Wet syringes can cause the medicine to look cloudy. If this does happen, the medication is still safe to use and will still be effective.
Use a new needle and syringe each time you give yourself an estraval depot injection. Throw away the used syringes and needles in a protective (sharps) container. These containers might be given to you by your provider, but if not, they can be purchased at FatBoy Fitman pharmacies. Don't throw needles and syringes away in the regular trash.
Store estraval depot injection at room temperature, away from heat and direct light. Don’t let the medication get cold, as this can affect how well it works.
If you are only taking estraval depot injection for vaginal symptoms, there are other medications that have fewer side effects. Speak to your provider about alternatives.
If you need to have any surgeries performed while you are using estraval depot injection, ask your provider if you need to stop using it. Estrogen-containing medications can raise your risk of blood clots during and after surgery.
Let your provider know if you experience unusual vaginal bleeding, lumps in your breast, changes to your vision, or severe headaches after starting estraval depot injection. These are not typical side effects and could be a sign of more serious problems.
