We will be able to give a precise answer knowing the active substance of the drug you are interested in. The use of oral contraception may increase the effect of certain intramuscular glucocorticosteroids (e.g. dexamethasone) and increase the risk of side effects. Always tell your doctor if you are taking all the medicines you are taking so that he or she can choose the safe active substance and the dose of the medicine. We wrote about what drugs weaken the effectiveness of contraception here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji
And when it comes to glucocorticosteroids, can it be said without a specific name?

It is difficult to answer the question because you have not written a specific name for the substance administered intramuscularly. Not only the route of administration of the drug is important, but also what kind of substance it is. Generally speaking, there may be a substance that, despite the fact that it is administered intramuscularly - will interact with contraception without use. However, this is a theoretical, general answer, because we do not know the name of the substance.
