Anyone taking Depo-Provera or any other sex hormones would be well-advised to take supplements of B complex with B12, either oral, if you want to chance absorbtion, or injectable, if you want to be sure of absortion, to prevent blood clots. I do not know if this applies to Androcur users.

MADSCIENTIST you say oral or injectable. I would assume oral would be once a day but what about injectable.

That would be up to you. People who take B12 shots typicaly take them once a month. However, these people are not on hormones. I mention this because of the ads for birth control pills/patches, where they state that, in this case, women over 35 or who smoke may suffer blood clots. Since the B vitamins are water-soluble you may take as much as you wish without fear of ODing. I take one every week.
BTW, do you take Depo-Provera once a month or once every 3 months?
