I am not sure what a depot is exactly. Santa gets the Lupron shot, but I am not certain about what a depot is. It might be the same thing and that might be what she calls it. I am not aware that there is more then one type of Lupron, but I could be wrong. Santa gets 400mcg.......I do not remember how it is measured so I hope mcg is right, but I know the dose is 400.
Hope that helps.

[Mod Note: the depot feature allows the drug to be released over time as opposed to 24 hour Lupron which has the potential to possibly do harm

See:
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/depot
including
a body area in which a substance, e.g., a drug, can be accumulated, deposited, or stored and from which it can be distributed.
