Hi i currently got my wisdom teeth taken out and i have been on clindamycin, hydrocodone, and ibuprofen do these medications make depo-provera less effective?

No,: The antibiotics and opioids do not affect the effectiveness of any form of hormonal birth control. This includes Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone). For more information ask your surgeon.
