Depo-Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuit: Are You at Risk?

Depo-Provera, a widely used injectable contraceptive, is now facing scrutiny due to its potential connection to an increased risk of brain tumors. If you or a loved one has developed a brain tumor after using Depo-Provera, you may be entitled to significant compensation. At Pittman, Dutton, Hellums, Bradley & Mann, P.C., our experienced attorneys are ready to help you fight for justice and hold the responsible parties accountable.

The Link Between Depo-Provera and Brain Tumors

Depo-Provera gained popularity as a convenient contraceptive, requiring only one injection every three months. However, recent findings raise serious concerns about its safety. A 2024 study published in the British Medical Journal revealed that long-term use of Depo-Provera may increase the risk of developing meningiomas — a type of brain tumor — by up to 400%. The synthetic hormones in Depo-Provera may disrupt hormonal balance, potentially stimulating abnormal cell growth in some individuals.

‍

What Is a Meningioma?

A meningioma is a tumor that forms in the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Although typically benign, these tumors can become problematic if they grow large enough to press on brain structures. Symptoms of meningiomas may include:

• Persistent headaches
• Vision problems
• Memory issues
• Neurological deficits

Treatment often requires invasive procedures such as surgery, radiation, or other therapies, impacting a patient’s quality of life.

‍

Why Are Depo-Provera Lawsuits Being Filed?

Lawsuits against Pfizer, the manufacturer of Depo-Provera, are being filed based on the claim that Pfizer failed to adequately warn users of the risk of meningiomas. Despite updating prescribing information in 2024 to reflect this risk, Pfizer has not sufficiently warned patients through labeling or usage instructions.

Victims are seeking compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Diminished quality of life
