Depo-Provera Lawsuits: Do You Have a Case?

2 minute read

Depo-Provera is an injectable birth control that has been popular among women as an effective method to prevent pregnancy without having to take daily birth control pills. However, recent studies have indicated a link between Depo-Provera use and serious diseases like brain tumors, meningioma, and osteoporosis. We are now taking Depo-Provera lawsuit cases and will help you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries due to extended Depo-Provera use.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to Depo-Provera use, contact the Michael Brady Lynch Law Firm at 888-585-5970.

Who’s Responsible for Injuries Caused by Depo-Provera?

Pfizer, the drug’s manufacturer, could be held liable for injuries due to Depo-Provera use. Pfizer failed to warn users about the increased risk of meningiomas, brain tumors, and bone density loss while taking the drug. Victims who have filed Depo-Provera lawsuits claim they would have chosen a different birth control method if they had known about these risks. In 2004, the FDA issued a black box warning on the drug’s ingredient label warning users of an increased risk of bone density loss from prolonged use. However, the warning label states that it’s unknown whether using Depo-Provera during adolescence or early adulthood increases the risk of developing bone density loss or osteoporosis later in life.

British Study Links Depo-Provera Use to Brain Tumors, Sparking Lawsuits

A new wave of Depo-Provera lawsuits have been filed after the British Medical Journal published a new study on March 27, 2024. The study concluded that women who used medroxyprogesterone acetate (the active ingredient in Depo-Provera) were 5.6 times more likely to be diagnosed with a brain tumor than women who hadn’t used the drug.

Future of Depo-Provera Lawsuits

Since the British study was published in March, victims who used Depo-Provera and were diagnosed with brain tumors have come forward and filed suits against Pfizer for failing to warn them about the risks of taking the drug. Depo-Provera lawsuits are still in the early stages of filing and haven’t been consolidated into an MDL yet. However, since nearly 10% of women in the U.S. have used Depo-Provera at some point in their lives, we expect the number of cases to increase. Forming an MDL will likely be the most efficient way for the courts to handle claims.
