Depo-Provera®, a widely used injectable birth control, has been linked to an increased risk of meningiomas, a type of brain tumor that can cause vision loss, neurological complications, and other serious health effects. If you or a loved one developed a brain tumor after using Depo-Provera, you may be entitled to compensation.
Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a progestin-based hormonal contraceptive administered through an injection every three months. While it has been used by millions of women for birth control, long-term use has been associated with a significantly higher risk of brain tumors.
A study published in The BMJ found that women who use Depo-Provera for more than a year are five times more likely to develop meningiomas than non-users. Despite this serious health risk, Pfizer, the drug’s manufacturer, has failed to update the warning label to properly inform patients of the potential dangers.
If you or a loved one have developed a meningioma after using Depo-Provera, you may have grounds to file a Depo-Provera brain tumor lawsuit against Pfizer.
You may be eligible to file a lawsuit if you or a loved one:
If you meet these criteria, you may be entitled to significant compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
