Q: Medicines and depo shot ?

I am currently on the depo shot and I have a bad cold/cough. I was wondering if cold and cough medicine will mess with it. I would like to know if it will make it stop working and what medicines do make it stop working.

Please help!!

The only drug I found that lessens the effectivenes of the DP shot is a drug for women with Cushing's disease. so, i doubt cold or cough medicine will have any affect on it.
