Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate), a progestin-based hormonal birth control, is administered through an injection every 3 months. Depo-Provera has been linked to causing patients to develop meningioma brain or spine tumors when used for over a year.
Research shows a woman who has received Depo-Provera injections are 5 times more likely to develop a meningioma. Despite this risk, the drug manufacturer of Depo-Provera, Pfizer, has yet to update the warning label to inform patients. Because of this, a woman diagnosed with a meningioma may be able to file a lawsuit.
You may have a claim if you or a loved one has:
There is a limited amount of time to file a Depo-Provera meningioma claim due to the statute of limitations, which is a deadline of time in which you are required to file a lawsuit. Each state has its own statute of limitations. Once the deadline to file your claim has passed, you will not be able to take legal action.
If you feel you may have a Depo-Provera claim, contact our office any time.
I have dreamed about writing a book about personal injury law for years. In the past year, I have thought about
the project often. Clearly, I am a procrastinator.
