Depo Provera Lawsuits allege that Pfizer failed to inform Depo Provera users and healthcare providers of the risk of developing brain tumors.
Our experienced attorneys are currently accepting cases for the Depo Provera Lawsuit.
On this page, we’ll discuss the role of Attorneys for Depo-Provera Lawsuits, the scientific links between Depo Provera injections and an increased risk of developing brain tumors, the current Depo Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuit, and much more.
Depo-Provera usage has been linked to an increased risk of developing brain tumors, specifically intracranial meningioma.
A recent study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) found that users of the contraceptive injection Depo Provera were at a more than five times increased risk of developing intracranial meningiomas, a type of brain tumor.
The study which linked Depo Provera to the development of brain tumors is becoming the basis of lawsuits against the drug’s manufacturer, Pfizer Inc.
If you or a loved one have developed brain tumors after taking Depo Provera injections, you may be eligible to file a Depo Provera Lawsuit and seek compensation.

The Depo-Provera Lawsuit involves claims against Pfizer, the manufacturer of the Depo-Provera contraceptive injection, for allegedly failing to warn users of serious health risks, including the potential development of brain tumors.
Plaintiffs argue that long-term use of Depo-Provera, particularly beyond 12 months, has been linked to a significantly higher risk of developing intracranial meningiomas, a type of tumor that affects the membranes surrounding the brain.
While meningiomas are generally benign, their location in the brain can lead to severe health complications, such as seizures, vision loss, and cognitive impairment, which can dramatically impact a person’s quality of life.
Research published in recent years, including a pivotal 2024 study, has drawn connections between the active ingredient in Depo-Provera, medroxyprogesterone acetate, and an increased risk of meningiomas among long-term users.
These findings have led women affected by these serious side effects to pursue legal action, alleging that Pfizer’s failure to provide adequate warnings constitutes negligence.
Legal claims in these cases seek compensation for damages related to medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other long-term impacts on health and lifestyle.
If you’ve suffered brain tumors after taking the Depo Provera shot for an extended period, you may be eligible to file a Depo Provera Lawsuit and seek compensation.

No, there is not a Depo Provera Class Action Lawsuit for brain and spinal cord tumor risk.
Lawyers believe that the Depo Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuits will be consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL).
Multidistrict litigation (MDL) is a legal process that consolidates individual lawsuits with similar claims—such as allegations of harm from a specific drug—into a single federal court for coordinated pretrial proceedings.
Unlike a class action, where plaintiffs are grouped as one entity and share a unified outcome, MDL allows each plaintiff to retain their own lawsuit and seek compensation based on their unique damages and injuries.
This structure ensures that individual cases receive tailored consideration, while streamlining discovery, evidence gathering, and other pretrial steps that apply broadly across the cases.
If certified by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML), the Depo Provera MDL would streamline the process of filing lawsuits against Pfizer for health problems, medical expenses, and other damages caused by the serious risks linked to the birth control shot.
The statute of limitations for filing a Depo-Provera Lawsuit varies by state but generally ranges from two to three years.
This period begins from either the date of injury or the date when the plaintiff became aware, or should have reasonably been aware, of the connection between Depo-Provera use and their health complications.
In cases involving brain tumors or similar conditions, some plaintiffs may discover the injury well after stopping the drug, which may impact the time limit for filing.
Certain states may allow extensions in cases where injuries were not immediately apparent, known as the “discovery rule.”
Consulting with an experienced attorney is essential to ensure your claim is filed within the appropriate time frame.
Hiring a Depo-Provera lawyer offers vital support for those facing the profound effects of this drug’s complications.
Experienced attorneys simplify the process of filing a lawsuit, from gathering critical evidence to helping clients understand the numerous pretrial procedures.
With access to medical experts and resources, your Depo Provera Lawyer will build a strong case connecting the birth control shot to the health issues suffered.
Your attorney will work to secure fair compensation that covers medical expenses, lost wages, and the impact on quality of life.
By hiring a personal injury lawyer experienced in dangerous drug lawsuits, clients gain support and clarity throughout each phase of the legal process.
In a Depo-Provera Lawsuit, gathering evidence is essential to prove the connection between the drug’s use and serious health complications, such as brain tumors.
Strong evidence supports the claim by documenting the plaintiff’s medical history, prescription usage, and the impact of the condition on their life.
A lawyer can assist in collecting, organizing, and presenting this evidence effectively, building a strong foundation for the case.
With thorough evidence, plaintiffs increase their chances of a successful outcome by establishing clear causation and the extent of damages.
Potential evidence in a Depo Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuit includes:
In a legal context, “damages” refer to the financial compensation sought to cover the harm suffered by plaintiffs due to another party’s negligence or misconduct.
In a Depo-Provera Lawsuit, damages may encompass both economic losses, like medical bills and lost wages, and non-economic impacts, such as pain and suffering.
A lawyer plays a critical role in accurately assessing these damages, gathering evidence to calculate the full scope of losses, and ensuring each element of compensation is pursued.
By establishing a comprehensive picture of the client’s suffering, a lawyer can work to secure a fair settlement or judgment that addresses both immediate and long-term needs.
Potential damages in a Depo Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuit include:
The Depo Provera shot is a popular birth control medication used by women seeking long-term, reliable contraception.
Administered every three months its effectiveness and convenience have made it a widely chosen option for women who prefer not to take daily pills.
However, recent studies have raised concerns about potential health risks, especially when used for prolonged periods.
Evidence now suggests that long-term use may increase the risk of developing serious conditions, including brain tumors, leading some to pursue legal action against the manufacturer.
Depo-Provera is an injectable form of birth control, given by healthcare providers every 3 months and designed to provide long-term contraception through hormonal regulation.
The shot contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic hormone that mimics progesterone, which prevents ovulation by stopping the ovaries from releasing eggs.
Depo-Provera thickens cervical mucus, creating a barrier that makes it difficult for sperm to reach the uterus.
The medication also thins the lining of the uterus, reducing the chances of a fertilized egg implanting and growing.
This multi-layered approach makes Depo-Provera over 99% effective when administered on schedule.
The Depo-Provera shot works in multiple ways to prevent pregnancy:
A new study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) in 2024 reveals a significant link between prolonged Depo-Provera use and an increased risk of developing intracranial meningiomas, a type of brain tumor.
Specifically, the study found that women who used Depo-Provera for more than one year faced a 5.6-fold increase in the risk of these brain and spinal cord tumors, which are mostly benign but can lead to serious complications requiring surgical intervention.
Researchers examined health data from over 18,000 women who underwent meningioma surgery, comparing them with a larger control group to assess risk factors associated with different progestogen-based medications.
This study is considered a milestone in evaluating long-term safety of hormonal contraceptives, highlighting the risks particularly for high-dose progestogens like medroxyprogesterone acetate, the active ingredient in Depo-Provera.
In response to these findings, there is increased pressure on regulatory agencies and manufacturers to update drug warnings and further investigate these risks.
Key findings from the BMJ study include:
Treatment for intracranial meningioma often involves brain surgery to remove as much of the tumor as safely possible, especially if it’s pressing on critical areas and causing symptoms.
Surgery may be followed by radiation therapy, particularly if the tumor is in a challenging location or shows signs of aggressive growth.
While surgery can relieve symptoms, patients may still face long-term neurological effects, such as cognitive difficulties or seizures, depending on the tumor’s location and size.

Depo-Provera may increase the risk of brain tumors due to its active ingredient, the hormone progestin (medroxyprogesterone acetate), which is a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone.
Studies indicate that high doses of progestin, particularly over prolonged use, can stimulate the growth of cells in the meninges, the protective layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
This stimulation may lead to the development of meningiomas, a type of intracranial tumor that can cause serious neurological symptoms.
Research published in the British Medical Journal in 2024 found that women using Depo-Provera for more than one year faced a significantly higher risk of developing these tumors compared to non-users.
Ongoing studies aim to further clarify how progestin influences tumor growth and to assess safer usage guidelines for hormone-based contraceptives like Depo-Provera.
Depo-Provera is associated with various risks and side effects, particularly with long-term use.
Common side effects include weight gain, changes in menstrual cycles, and headaches. Users frequently report irregular or prolonged bleeding initially, with periods often stopping altogether after a year.
Weight gain can be substantial for some women, along with symptoms like mood changes, breast tenderness, and potential bone density loss—a side effect severe enough to prompt a 2004 Black Box Warning from the FDA.
This warning underscores that extended Depo-Provera use may lead to decreased bone mineral density, increasing osteoporosis risk, especially among adolescent users.
Recent research has linked Depo-Provera to a more serious risk: the development of intracranial meningiomas, a type of brain tumor.
Studies, including one published in the British Medical Journal in 2024, found a 5.6-fold increase in meningioma risk among women using Depo-Provera for over a year, believed to be due to the hormone progestin (medroxyprogesterone acetate), which may stimulate tumor growth in brain tissues.
Though meningiomas are typically benign, they can cause significant neurological symptoms like seizures, headaches, vision problems, and cognitive impairment if they grow large enough or press against critical brain structures.
In rare cases, Depo-Provera has been linked to pseudotumor cerebri, a condition where high pressure within the skull mimics the symptoms of a brain tumor.
This pressure can lead to severe headaches, blurred vision, and, in some cases, long-term vision impairment if left untreated.
Women using Depo-Provera may face a heightened risk of blood clots, liver dysfunction, and, although rare, severe allergic reactions, such as hives or swelling.
There are two main types of Depo-Provera injections, both using the hormone progestin to prevent pregnancy.
These injections vary in dosage and method of administration but provide similar contraceptive effects by inhibiting ovulation and altering the uterine environment.
Both types need to be administered every three months for effective, long-term birth control.
Both forms work by delivering medroxyprogesterone acetate to suppress ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and thin the uterine lining.
Yes, several lawsuits have recently been filed against Pfizer, the manufacturer of Depo-Provera, by women who developed brain tumors, specifically intracranial meningiomas, after prolonged use of the contraceptive injection.
Depo Provera Lawsuits allege that Pfizer failed to warn users about the risks associated with long-term Depo-Provera use, despite studies indicating an increased risk of brain tumors tied to the hormone progestin, which is active in the medication.
One case, filed in California in October 2024, involves a woman who used Depo-Provera for over a decade before being diagnosed with a brain tumor.
These claims also point to Pfizer’s alleged negligence in monitoring and updating its safety warnings in response to scientific evidence linking the drug to these adverse effects.
Given the number of cases being filed, it is expected that these lawsuits may be consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) to streamline proceedings and manage the growing volume of similar claims
If you received Depo Provera injections and subsequently developed brain tumors, you may be eligible to file a Depo Provera Lawsuit and seek compensation.

I can’t say enough how grateful I was to have TorHoerman Law help with my case. Jacob Plattenberger is very knowledgeable and an amazing lawyer. Jillian Pileczka was so patient and kind, helping me with questions that would come up. Even making sure my special needs were taken care of for meetings.
