Being on depo-provera shot and not the depo-provera pill, people say amoxicillin affects the birth control, and others say it dont, so i was wondering which is true?

Antibiotics: Don't impact the Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot. They can make birth control pills less effective temporarily. So many people recommend back up method of birth control if need antibiotics while on birth control pills.
