Depo-Provera Lawsuits: Fighting for Justice and Accountability
Understanding Depo-Provera
Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a widely used injectable contraceptive designed to prevent pregnancy for up to three months per dose. While effective, long-term use of this medication has been associated with serious health risks, including meningiomas—tumors that develop in the brain or spinal cord.
The Connection Between Depo-Provera and Meningiomas
Research indicates that women using Depo-Provera for more than a year face a fivefold increase in the likelihood of developing meningiomas compared to non-users. These tumors can cause debilitating symptoms such as severe headaches, vision impairment, and neurological dysfunction. Alarmingly, Pfizer, the manufacturer of Depo-Provera, has not updated the drug's labeling to adequately warn patients about these risks.
Pursuing Compensation for Your Losses
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with a brain or spinal tumor following the use of Depo-Provera, you may be entitled to seek financial compensation. Legal action can help recover costs related to:
-
Medical treatments and ongoing care
-
Physical and emotional pain and suffering
-
Lost income and diminished earning capacity
-
Additional out-of-pocket expenses resulting from the diagnosis
Eligibility for Filing a Depo-Provera Lawsuit
You may qualify to file a claim if you:
-
Received Depo-Provera or Depo-SubQ Provera 104 injections
-
Have been diagnosed with a meningioma or other brain or spinal tumor
