Does Depot Shot Have Any Side Effects?
Hi, I received a depo shot about a month ago. Shortly after, my skin started itching all over. I ve recently noticed raised patches, mainly on my arms. I m assuming they re hives. I m not on any new medications, or have I had any allergic reactions to anything before. Could the depo shot be causing this?

Hello,
Most likely the symptoms you have mentioned is about an allergic mild reaction. I will suggest you to take antihistamine like Tab Zyrtec 10 mg once at night, It is available as OTC. This will settle your problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
