Hi,

Light spotting can happen after taking Depo shots and it will settle by itself even without any treatment.

As of now, no treatment is required. If the bleeding is profuse you can take Tranexamic Acid or Ethamsylate tablets.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
