A member asked:
What type of antibiotic could i take to clear the depo-provera shot out of my system?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
There are none...: There are no antibiotics to clear a depot Provera shot out of your system. There are actually no medications or procedures to quickly reverse depot provera. For those wanting to get pregnant after depot, the average interval from the last Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) injection to pregnancy is 9-10 months, but occasionally may be as long as 18 months.

None: Antibiotics are for infection. Depo shots are for contraception. These are two completely different systems in the body. The only way the Depo-Provera will get out of your system will be to wait 3-6 months, and allow for it to naturaly be absorbed and eliminated.
