Antibiotics and Depo Provera

Depo Provera, is a popular form of birth control that is injected into the buttocks or arm every three months. When used correctly, the Depo Provera shot is nearly 100 percent effective in preventing pregnancy.

The effects of the shot should not be lessened when combined with antibiotics. However, it is always smart to let the doctor who prescribed the antibiotics know that you are currently using the Depo Provera shot for birth control.
