Quick Eligibility Check
What is Depo-Provera?
Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a popular injectable birth control shot administered every 3 months. It is also prescribed for endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and other conditions.
Manufactured by Pfizer, it was marketed as a convenient, long-lasting contraceptive. However, recent studies have revealed serious risks that were not adequately disclosed to patients.
Depo-Provera Linked to Meningioma Brain Tumors
Multiple peer-reviewed studies show long-term use significantly raises the risk of developing meningiomas — tumors that form on the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Meningioma Brain Tumors
Often benign but can cause seizures, vision loss, headaches, personality changes, and require surgery or radiation. Many victims need lifelong care.
Strong Scientific Evidence
- BMJ 2024 study: 5.6× higher risk after >1 year use
- Recent U.S. study: 2.4× risk overall
- Risk increases with duration of use and cumulative dose
Pfizer’s Alleged Failure
Lawsuits allege Pfizer knew or should have known about the risk for decades but failed to warn patients and doctors — putting profits ahead of safety.
