Are Depo shot users more likely to break a bone?

<p>A new study from England found that women using the shot did have a higher risk of broken bones compared to women using other types of birth control&mdash;but that was the case before they ever used the shot.</p><p>Women who eventually used the shot were 30% more likely to have a broken bone before starting the method compared to women who went on to use a different birth control method. After starting the shot, women were no more likely to have a broken bone than before.</p><p>Maybe you&rsquo;re wondering, if this is true, why the label for Depo carries a warning about its effect on bone density. Unfortunately, a lot goes into updating labels, so they don&rsquo;t always reflect the latest research.</p>
