Just did a little research and some women confirmed they got pregnant while on depo and antibiotics.

Hmmmm.... I don't know but I am more inclined to trust your pharmacist. Doctors are brilliant and so essential to healthcare but pharmacists have their place and I feel that place is knowing medications inside-outside-backwards-forwards.
