What is the Depo-Provera Shot Lawsuit About?
Injectable Contraceptive Depo-Provera® linked to MENINGIOMA
Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate), as well as some generic forms, is a progestin-based hormonal birth control that’s administered through an injection every 3 months.
However, this medication may cause patients to develop tumors known as meningiomas in the brain or spine when used for over a year.
Women receiving Depo-Provera birth control shots are 5 times more likely to develop meningiomas, according to The British Medical Journal (BMJ).
Despite being aware of this serious risk, drug manufacturer Pfizer hasn’t updated the Depo-Provera warning label to inform patients of the risks when they are determining whether they should use this particular form of birth control. Those affected may be able to file a Depo-Provera cancer lawsuit against the company.
At The Buchanan Law Office, we’ve partnered with law firms across the country to secure compensation for victims harmed by dangerous drugs, medical devices and chemical exposure. Let us fight for you.
