Depo-Provera®, an injectable birth control, may put users at an increased risk of brain tumors known as meningiomas. These tumors can cause vision loss and other serious neurological side effects.
What Is the Depo-Provera Lawsuit About?
Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a progestin-based hormonal birth control that’s administered through an injection every 3 months.
However, this medication may cause patients to develop tumors known as meningiomas in the brain or spine when used for over a year.
Women receiving Depo-Provera are 5 times more likely to develop meningiomas, according to The BMJ.
Despite being aware of this serious risk, drug manufacturer Pfizer hasn’t updated the Depo-Provera warning label to inform patients. Those affected may be able to file a Depo-Provera cancer lawsuit against the company.
