The Risks of Depo-Provera
Depo-Provera, used by millions of women annually, contains synthetic progesterone, which has been identified as a leading cause of meningioma brain tumors. Meningiomas can cause serious and debilitating symptoms such as:
- Vision problems
- Severe headaches
- Numbness or loss of motor control
- Hallucinations and seizures
- Other neurological problems
In many cases, treating these tumors requires dangerous and costly brain surgery, leaving patients with physical, emotional, and financial burdens. If you’ve taken Depo-Provera for at least one year and have been diagnosed with a meningioma brain tumor, you can now seek justice and needed compensation.
Current Litigation Against Pfizer: Legal Action Is Ramping Up
The omission of a known and dangerous side effect from any medication label is unacceptable. Patients have already begun seeking justice from Depo-Provera for both the branded and generic versions of their defective drug:
- Plaintiffs argue that Pfizer and its subsidiaries failed to warn users of the serious risks associated with long-term use.
- An MDL (multi-district litigation) may soon consolidate cases, streamlining the path to potential justice for affected individuals.
Why Depo-Provera Users Should Act Now
If you’ve developed a Depo-Provera brain tumor, you deserve answers — and you may be entitled to compensation. Lawsuits against Pfizer are in the early stages, which means acting quickly can be essential to preserving your rights.
If you fit these two simple criteria, you may have a case:
- You’ve used Depo-Provera for over one year
- You’ve received a diagnosis of intracranial meningioma
What the Science Says About Depo-Provera
A groundbreaking study published in 2024 analyzed over 100,000 cases, including approximately 18,000 cases of women who underwent surgery for meningiomas. This study found that women using Depo-Provera over extended periods were over 5x more likely to develop meningiomas compared to non-users.
The study highlights that the synthetic hormone medroxyprogesterone acetate, used in Depo-Provera, plays a key role in the heightened risk. Additionally, it found that risk increases with the duration of use, particularly for women using the drug for more than a year.
Despite these findings, Pfizer, the manufacturer of Depo-Provera, has yet to add a warning to the U.S. label. While European labels now disclose this risk, American users often remain in the dark, unaware of the potential harm.
