Does Antibiotics Knock out the Depo Shot?

Neither antibiotics nor antiseizure medicines reduce Depo-Provera's effectiveness. The only drug which reduces its effectiveness is aminoglutethimide (Cytadren), used to suppress adrenal function in some people with Cushing syndrome. Research indicates that Depo-Provera even reduces the frequency of seizures.

What medicine cancels out the Depo shot?

Some drugs or herbal products that may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives include:
  • barbiturates.
  • bosentan.
  • carbamazepine.
  • felbamate.
  • griseofulvin.
  • oxcarbazepine.
  • phenytoin.
  • rifampin.

Do antibiotics cancel out injection?

Antibiotics do not interfere with the injection, only the Pill. So you are safe.
