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.
