Jipende Jipange brings family planning to the pharmacy you already visit, not a clinic across town. At its centre is DMPA-SC: a single prefilled injection offering three months of protection, given by a trained pharmacist or self-administered after training. It's built on clear information over lectures, privacy over queues, and on busting the myths that keep women from choosing it — like the fear that a lighter or absent period means something is wrong. Every partner pharmacy offers a private space to ask questions and walk out with a plan that's actually yours.

Fact or myth , tap to find out
The three things we hear most often. Tap a card to flip it.
"DMPA-SC causes permanent infertility."
Tap to reveal →DMPA-SC is reversible. Return to fertility may take time after the last injection, but this is not permanent infertility. Your pharmacist can walk you through what to expect.
"If my periods stop, the blood stays trapped inside my body."
Tap to reveal →Injectable contraceptives can change bleeding patterns, including lighter, irregular, or absent periods. Menstrual blood does not accumulate inside the body — there is simply no bleeding. If your periods change, ask your pharmacist what to expect.
"Everyone experiences the same side effects."
Tap to reveal →No — everyone is different and will have different experiences. Your pharmacist can explain the probable side effects so you know what's typical for you.
"Self-injection means figuring it out on my own."
Tap to reveal →No. Self-injection should be learned with proper information, demonstration, and support. Ask your pharmacist how it works and you'll be trained before doing it alone.
"Jipende Jipange is about pushing DMPA-SC."
Tap to reveal →No. Jipende Jipange is about bringing choice and options to you so you can decide what works for you. DMPA-SC is simply a newer option — ask your pharmacist about everything else available too.
"Pharmacies are just there to make a sale."
Tap to reveal →Jipende Jipange Partner Pharmacies had to demonstrate commitment to service before being onboarded. What you pay keeps them able to operate and serve you — that's not the principle behind their practice. Ask your pharmacist about the values behind Jipende Jipange.
"Self-injecting is painful and risky."
Tap to reveal →The Uniject needle is short and fine, and every first-time user is coached hands-on before trying it alone. Ask your pharmacist for a demonstration before you try it yourself.
"Everyone at the pharmacy will know my business."
Tap to reveal →Partner pharmacies have private, partitioned counselling spaces built exactly for this conversation. Ask your pharmacist to show you the private space.
"Once I start DMPA-SC, I can't switch to another method."
Tap to reveal →No. You always have the option to switch from one method to another based on your unique needs and circumstances. Your pharmacist can talk you through switching whenever you're ready.
