Depo Provera and Meningioma Brain Tumor
Legal Advocacy by The Spencer Law Firm
Understanding the Link Between Depo-Provera and Meningiomas
Depo-Provera, a widely used injectable contraceptive, has recently been associated with an increased risk of developing meningioma brain tumors. Meningiomas are tumors that form in the meninges, the protective layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. While often benign, these tumors can lead to significant health complications due to their location.
Recent Legal Developments
In recent months, numerous lawsuits have been filed against Pfizer, the manufacturer of Depo-Provera, alleging that prolonged use of the contraceptive led to the development of meningiomas. These legal actions claim that Pfizer failed to provide adequate warnings about this potential risk. Notably, cases have been centralized in a Florida court to streamline proceedings.
Eligibility for Legal Action
If you or a loved one have used Depo-Provera and subsequently been diagnosed with a meningioma, you may be entitled to compensation. Potential damages could cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. It's crucial to act promptly, as legal time limits apply.

DEPO-PROVERA ALERT
Depo-Provera, the brand name for medroxyprogesterone acetate, is an injectable contraceptive used roughly every three months. Depo-Provera is also commonly used to treat hormonal and menstrual conditions. Administered as an injection every three months, it’s popular for its convenience and effectiveness. However, recent discussions have raised concerns about its potential connection to serious health risks, including an increased risk of brain cancer.
In March 2024, the British Medical Journal published a French study linking prolonged use of Depo-Provera to the development of meningiomas, or typically benign brain tumors. The study, which looked at more than 18,000 women who had surgery to remove meningiomas, found that patients who used Depo-Provera for more than a year were more than five times as likely to have developed them.
While meningiomas are usually not cancerous, they can cause disruptive symptoms, grow to become life-threatening, and may require risky or invasive surgery to remove.
Pfizer has acknowledged the BMJ study and claimed it would update its product labels and patient information in response, but as of November 20, the pharmaceutical giant’s online guide does not currently include any information about the risks of developing brain tumors. However, Pfizer’s product information document for Canada does mention the risk of meningiomas.
Other studies have identified a link between meningiomas and similar substances to Depo-Provera in 2022 and to Depo-Provera specifically in 2023.
Pfizer is simply not doing enough to warn patients about the risks of Depo-Provera.
If you are concerned about the potential risks of Depo-Provera, it’s important to have a conversation with your healthcare provider. They can help assess your individual risk factors, provide guidance based on your health history, and discuss alternative contraception methods that might be better suited to your needs.
If you or a loved one was diagnosed with a meningioma after long-term use of Depo-Provera, you might be able to file a lawsuit.

Even if you have yet to suffer any injuries, it is extremely important that you gather your prescription and medical records related to the injections you received.
