Hi,

Depo shot and other hormonal injections should be stored properly since they are very sensitive drugs and can easily lose potency. Do not store above 25°C. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Keep the drug in a cool dry place.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
