Depo-Provera is an injectable contraceptive manufactured by Pfizer containing medroxyprogesterone acetate. A major study published in the British Medical Journal found that women who used Depo-Provera for more than 12 months had a significantly elevated risk of developing meningioma — a type of brain tumor that can cause seizures, vision problems, headaches, and may require surgery to remove.
While many meningiomas are non-cancerous, they can still grow large enough to increase pressure within the skull, impair brain function, and require invasive surgical intervention that carries its own set of serious risks.
Thousands of women across the country may be eligible for compensation. Here's who should consider filing a claim.
If you were prescribed and received one or more Depo-Provera shots as a contraceptive method, you may be at risk for developing a meningioma brain tumor.
Women diagnosed with a meningioma or other intracranial tumor after using Depo-Provera may have a strong basis for a legal claim against the manufacturer.
Family members of women who suffered serious health complications or passed away after Depo-Provera use may also be eligible to file a claim on their behalf.
