I imagine that it could. I have never been on depo, but antibiotics do render b/c pills ineffective.

Goodness, you make it sound impossible or something. Heck, i've done that lots of times. I get mad when my man can't go another time after we've already gone three or four.

Yes antibiotics can cancel out Depo. I was on Depo when I got pregnant with my youngest son. I was on antibiotics at the time I ovulated and according to my OB, the Depo was ineffective due to the medication and I was able to conceive. On the pamplet you get with the Depo Provera shot, if you pick it up from the pharmacy will tell you that Depo will become ineffective with antibiotics.

Once again it sucks that the pharmaceutical companies are publishing false information. However, they were correct in my case. You would think the companies that actually manufacture the drug would have more information than google, but I guess not. Good job researching Amy.
