Depo-Provera Lawsuits
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.
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.
