The Depo-Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuit alleges that Pfizer, the manufacturer of the contraceptive, failed to adequately warn consumers about the increased risk of developing intracranial meningiomas after prolonged use of the drug.
On this page, we’ll discuss the Depo Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuit, scientific studies linking the Depo Provera contraceptive injection to intracranial meningioma (a type of brain tumor), who qualifies for the Depo-Provera Lawsuit, a lawyer’s role in the Depo-Provera Lawsuits, and much more.
Recent studies have linked long-term use of Depo-Provera, a popular contraceptive injection, to an increased risk of developing brain tumors, specifically intracranial meningiomas.
Women who have used Depo-Provera for over 12 months have been found to face a significantly higher risk, with research showing a 5.6-fold increase in the likelihood of developing these tumors.
While meningiomas are generally benign, their location in the brain can cause serious complications, such as headaches, vision problems, and seizures.
These risks have raised concerns about the safety of Depo-Provera for long-term users, prompting lawsuits against the drug’s manufacturer, Pfizer.
Despite the potential danger, the U.S. warning label for Depo-Provera has not yet been updated to include this information, although regulatory agencies in Europe have made changes.
Our lawyers are currently accepting clients for the Depo-Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuit.
If you have used the Depo-Provera birth control shot and have developed brain tumors or other serious health complications, you may be eligible to file a Depo-Provera Lawsuit.

Depo-Provera Lawsuits are being filed by women who developed brain tumors after consistent use of the contraceptive injection.
Lawyers handling these cases are advocating for the creation of a multidistrict litigation (MDL) to handle the growing number of claims related to Depo-Provera usage and the development of brain tumors.
Multidistrict litigation (MDL) is a legal process used to consolidate multiple individual lawsuits that share common issues, such as claims involving the same defective product or harmful drug, into a single federal court for pretrial proceedings.
MDL is not the same as a class action lawsuit, as each case in an MDL remains an individual lawsuit, allowing plaintiffs to seek individualized compensation based on their specific damages.
In contrast, class action lawsuits group all plaintiffs together as a single entity, and any settlement or verdict is distributed equally among the class members.
In an MDL, cases are consolidated only for pretrial proceedings like discovery, but each case may go to trial or settle separately.
This structure allows for more tailored outcomes while streamlining the legal process for similar claims.
Recent scientific research has raised serious concerns about the long-term safety of Depo-Provera, specifically its link to brain tumors.
A pivotal study published in The British Medical Journal (BMJ) in 2024 found that women using Depo-Provera for extended periods are at a significantly higher risk of developing intracranial meningiomas, a type of brain tumor that grows in the protective membranes around the brain and spinal cord.
The study, conducted by French researchers, analyzed data from over 18,000 women who underwent surgery for meningiomas, comparing their cases to control groups without the tumor.
The findings revealed that the use of medroxyprogesterone acetate, the active ingredient in Depo-Provera, was strongly linked to the development of these tumors, especially in long-term users.
This study has brought new attention to the safety risks of Depo-Provera, highlighting the need for further investigation and regulatory updates.
The risks are particularly concerning for women who have used the contraceptive for more than a year, as the study showed a marked increase in tumor development within this group.
Significant findings from the study include:
These findings have intensified scrutiny over Depo-Provera’s safety profile, especially for women using the contraceptive over extended periods, and are central to the ongoing lawsuits against Pfizer.
As of 2024, the U.S. warning label for Depo-Provera does not include information about the increased risk of brain tumors, such as intracranial meningiomas.
While regulatory bodies in the European Union and the United Kingdom have updated their labels to reflect this risk, Pfizer has not yet incorporated similar warnings in the United States.
This omission is a central issue in the Depo-Provera Lawsuits being filed against Pfizer, as plaintiffs argue that users were not adequately informed of these dangers.
Intracranial meningiomas are tumors that develop in the meninges, which are the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
These brain tumors are the most common type of primary brain tumor, accounting for about 30% to 40% of all such cases.
While meningiomas are typically benign (non-cancerous), their location in the brain can lead to significant health complications, particularly if they grow large or press against vital brain structures.
The exact cause of meningiomas is not fully understood, but factors such as age, gender, radiation exposure, and genetic mutations can contribute to their development.
As mentioned, patients receiving Depo-Provera injections were at a 5.6x increased risk of developing brain tumors.
Meningiomas grow slowly, and symptoms often appear gradually, depending on the tumor’s size and location.
Common symptoms include severe headaches, seizures, vision changes, and motor difficulties such as weakness or numbness in the limbs.
In some cases, cognitive or personality changes may also occur, particularly if the tumor affects the frontal lobes of the brain.
Meningiomas are classified into three grades:
Diagnosing meningiomas typically involves imaging tests such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or CT (Computed Tomography) scans, which provide detailed images of the brain and can identify the size and location of the tumor.
In some cases, a biopsy may be performed to confirm whether the tumor is benign or malignant.
The treatment of meningiomas depends on several factors, including the size and location of the tumor, the patient’s symptoms, and overall health.
Small, asymptomatic meningiomas may simply be monitored with regular imaging scans (a strategy known as “watchful waiting”).
However, for larger or symptomatic tumors, surgical removal is often recommended.
In some cases, complete removal may not be possible due to the tumor’s location near critical brain structures, in which case partial removal may be followed by radiation therapy to target remaining tumor cells.
Prognosis for patients with meningiomas is generally good, particularly for those with benign Grade I tumors.
However, the potential for neurological damage from tumor growth or treatment-related complications can affect long-term outcomes.
Recurrence is possible, especially with atypical or malignant meningiomas, which require ongoing monitoring.
Depo-Provera is a widely used injectable contraceptive that contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone.
It works primarily by preventing ovulation, meaning that the ovaries do not release eggs for fertilization.
Additionally, Depo-Provera works by thickening cervical mucus, which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus, further reducing the chance of pregnancy.
The hormone also thins the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which helps prevent a fertilized egg from implanting.
Depo-Provera is administered once every three months via an injection from healthcare providers, providing long-term contraception without the need for daily pills or frequent interventions.
Depo-Provera is primarily used as a contraceptive option for women who want a reliable and reversible method of birth control.
Its long-lasting effect makes it an attractive choice for women seeking a low-maintenance form of contraception, especially for those who may have difficulty remembering to take daily pills.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Depo-Provera is over 99% effective when used correctly.
Apart from contraception, Depo-Provera is also prescribed for other medical reasons, including the management of conditions such as endometriosis and abnormal uterine bleeding.
By thinning the uterine lining, it can help reduce heavy menstrual bleeding, alleviate pain, and lower the risk of endometrial hyperplasia—a condition where the lining of the uterus becomes too thick, increasing the risk of uterine cancer.
However, Depo-Provera use is associated with certain risks and side effects, including bone mineral density loss with long-term use and, more recently, concerns about an increased risk of developing brain tumors such as meningiomas.
These risks make it essential for users to consult with their healthcare providers to weigh the benefits and potential side effects before choosing Depo-Provera as a birth control method or treatment for other conditions.
Pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to warn consumers of serious health risks associated with their products, including the potential for brain tumors like intracranial meningiomas linked to Depo-Provera.
These brain tumors can have life-altering effects, causing symptoms such as seizures, vision loss, and cognitive impairment, which can profoundly impact an individual’s daily life and well-being.
Lawyers are currently accepting cases to help individuals who have suffered from these complications pursue compensation for the harm caused by the drug.
If you or a loved one has suffered brain tumors, after using Depo-Provera, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages.

The more comprehensive and well-documented your evidence, the stronger your case will be, which can increase your chances of a successful outcome.
Possible evidence in a Depo-Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuit may include:
In legal terms, damages refer to the compensation awarded to plaintiffs for the losses they have suffered due to the wrongful actions or negligence of another party.
In the context of Depo-Provera Lawsuits, damages are meant to compensate individuals for the physical, emotional, and financial hardships caused by the drug’s serious side effects, such as brain tumors.
Assessing damages accurately is crucial, as it helps determine the amount of compensation that may be recovered to cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.
Potential damages in a Depo Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuit may include:
The serious risks associated with the injectable form of birth control Depo-Provera cannot be understated.
Prolonged use has been linked to severe health complications, including an increased risk of developing intracranial meningiomas, a type of brain tumor.
These tumors, while often benign, can lead to life-altering symptoms such as seizures, vision loss, and cognitive impairment, significantly affecting a person’s quality of life.
If you received a brain tumor diagnosis after consistently taking Depo-Provera shots, you may be eligible to file a Depo Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuit and seek compensation.

Depo-Provera is manufactured by Pfizer Inc., one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.
The contraceptive injection was originally developed by Upjohn, a pharmaceutical company that Pfizer later acquired.
Depo-Provera was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1992 for use as a long-term birth control option.
Since its approval, it has been widely used for both contraception and other medical conditions, such as uterine fibroids, but concerns have arisen over its serious side effects, such as bone density loss and the potential risk of brain tumors.
Depo-Provera is an injectable form of birth control that contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic hormone that prevents pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the uterine lining.
Depo-Provera mimics the natural hormone progestin.
It is administered every three months, making it a convenient option for women who prefer long-term contraception without daily pills.
There are two main types of Depo-Provera injections, both of which are effective in preventing pregnancy but differ slightly in dosage and method of administration.
The different types of Depo-Provera injections include:
Both types work similarly but may be recommended based on individual patient needs and preferences.
Depo-Provera has been linked to an increased risk of developing intracranial meningiomas, a type of brain tumor, particularly with long-term use.
Studies, including one published in The British Medical Journal in 2024, found that women who used Depo-Provera for more than 12 months faced a significantly higher risk of developing these tumors.
Meningiomas are usually benign but can lead to serious complications, such as headaches, seizures, vision problems, and neurological impairments, especially if left untreated.
The hormone in Depo-Provera, medroxyprogesterone acetate, is believed to influence the growth of these tumors due to its prolonged effects on brain tissues in women exposed to high levels over time.
In a Depo-Provera brain tumor lawsuit, plaintiffs may seek several types of compensation, also known as damages, for the harm caused by the drug.
Medical expenses are a primary form of compensation, covering the costs of tumor diagnosis, treatment, surgeries, and ongoing care.
Plaintiffs can also pursue damages for lost wages if the condition affected their ability to work, as well as compensation for pain and suffering due to the physical and emotional toll of the brain tumor and its symptoms.
The statute of limitations for filing a Depo-Provera Lawsuit varies by state, but most states require lawsuits to be filed within two to three years from the date the injury was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered.
This means that if you developed a brain tumor or other serious health issues after using Depo-Provera, the clock starts ticking from the time you were diagnosed or became aware of the link between the drug and your condition.
In some states, exceptions may extend the statute of limitations if the injury was not immediately apparent.
It’s essential to consult with an experienced attorney to understand the specific time limits in your state and ensure your claim is filed before the statute expires.

They helped my elderly uncle receive compensation for the loss of his wife who was administered a dangerous drug. He consulted with this firm because of my personal recommendation and was very pleased with the compassion, attention to detail and response he received. Definitely recommend this firm for their 5 star service.
