Depo-Provera and Tumors: Talk to A Lawyer About Your Rights

Depo-Provera Injections and Meningioma: An Effective Birth Control Shot with Unwanted Side Effects

Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is a common form of hormonal birth control commonly sold as Depo-Provera by Pfizer; it has also been marketed under other brands in the U.S. and elsewhere for decades. In addition to its use in preventing ovulation, MPA, an artificial progestogen, is used as a hormone therapy for menopause and for numerous other medical purposes. It is typically injected (sometimes referred to as a “depo shot”) or taken orally and has been shown to be a highly effective contraceptive method.

Unfortunately, a disturbing link between Depo-Provera birth control shots and serious health complications has been established. Perhaps the best known and most serious of these is a greatly increased risk of meningioma brain tumors. Many women whose lives have been changed by meningioma can seek compensation and a sense of accountability via Depo-Provera lawsuits.
