Depo-Provera Lawsuits
Helping women harmed by Depo-Provera brain tumors and long-term hormone exposure.
Depo-Provera is a commonly prescribed birth control injection that millions of women have relied on for years. But recent scientific research and growing litigation now suggest that long-term use of Depo-Provera may significantly increase the risk of developing meningiomas, a type of brain tumor, along with other serious health complications.
Stag Liuzza is actively representing women in Depo-Provera lawsuits, including claims led by Ashley Liuzza, who has been heavily involved in this litigation. These cases seek to hold drug manufacturers accountable for failing to warn patients about the full extent of the risks associated with this powerful hormone injection.
If you or someone you love used Depo-Provera and was later diagnosed with a brain tumor, bone loss, or related complications, you may have legal rights.
What Is Depo-Provera?
Depo-Provera is an injectable contraceptive that contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. It is administered once every three months and works by preventing ovulation and altering the uterine lining to prevent pregnancy.
Because it does not require daily pills, Depo-Provera has long been marketed as a convenient and effective form of birth control. However, the drug delivers high levels of synthetic hormones over long periods of time, which is now believed to play a role in serious long-term health effects.
Depo-Provera and Brain Tumors (Meningiomas)
The primary focus of today’s Depo-Provera lawsuits is the growing evidence that long-term use of the drug may increase the risk of developing meningiomas.
Meningiomas are tumors that form in the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Although they are often classified as “benign,” they can still cause devastating health problems by pressing against the brain and nervous system.
Women diagnosed with meningiomas may experience:
-
Severe headaches
-
Vision or hearing loss
-
Seizures
-
Memory and cognitive problems
-
Weakness or numbness
-
Balance and coordination issues
In many cases, treatment requires brain surgery, radiation, or long-term neurological care, and some patients are left with permanent impairments.
Recent studies have found that prolonged exposure to the hormone used in Depo-Provera may stimulate the growth of these tumors. Lawsuits allege that women were never properly warned that using Depo-Provera for years could place them at risk for brain tumors that might not appear until long after the injections stopped.
What is Depo-Provera Litigation?
Depo-Provera Litigation refers to lawsuits against Pfizer alleging that long-term use of the contraceptive injection causes serious health illness such as tumors, cancers, and other serious illnesses.
What Did the Manufacturers Know?
Depo-Provera lawsuits allege that the drug’s manufacturers knew or should have known that prolonged exposure to high-dose synthetic progesterone could promote the growth of hormone-sensitive tumors such as meningiomas.
Despite this, women were often told the drug was safe for long-term use and were not informed of the potential risk of developing brain tumors. The lawsuits claim that important safety information was minimized, delayed, or not clearly disclosed, preventing patients from making informed decisions about their health.
These cases focus on failure-to-warn and dangerous drug claims, arguing that the manufacturers put profits ahead of patient safety.
Who May Qualify for a Depo-Provera Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to file a Depo-Provera claim if you:
-
Received Depo-Provera injections for birth control
-
Were later diagnosed with a meningioma or other brain tumor
-
Developed significant bone loss, osteoporosis, or fractures
-
Were not properly warned about these risks
Even if you stopped using Depo-Provera years ago, you may still have a claim, depending on when your injuries were discovered.
Current Status of Depo-Provera Lawsuits
Women across the United States have filed lawsuits against the manufacturers of Depo-Provera alleging that the drug caused serious brain tumors and other long-term injuries. These cases are being brought under product liability and failure-to-warn laws.
As more women come forward and medical research continues to support the connection between Depo-Provera and meningiomas, this litigation is expanding. The legal process is ongoing, and new cases continue to be filed.
