A member asked:

Can the depovera injection i'm on give me cold symptoms as a side affect? i've heard it can

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Not likely: That is not a side effect of depoprovera. Cold symptoms are quite common and are caused by viruses and allergies.
