Step 1 of 2

Is There a Depo-Provera Lawsuit?

Our lawyers are investigating Depo-Provera lawsuits for women throughout the United States after new evidence has linked the birth control shots to an increased risk of brain tumors known as meningioma.

Depo-Provera is a hormonal birth control injection that contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1992 and is advertised to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm, and thinning the uterine lining to prevent a fertilized egg from implanting.

Ongoing Concerns About Depo-Provera and Meningioma Risks

As of October 22, 2024, growing concerns have emerged regarding the contraceptive injection Depo-Provera, particularly due to inconsistencies in safety warnings between the United States and Europe. While European labels caution about a possible link between Depo-Provera and meningiomas—tumors affecting the protective membranes of the brain—the U.S. version lacks this warning. This raises serious concerns about patient safety, transparency, and regulatory oversight.

Potential Risks of Depo-Provera

Depo-Provera has been widely used for contraception, but recent findings suggest a potential association between long-term use and meningioma development. Many women who have received Depo-Provera injections and later experienced severe health issues are now questioning the safety of this medication.
