About the Depo-Provera litigation

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is an injectable contraceptive used by millions of women. In 2024, a large study published in a leading medical journal reported that prolonged use of medroxyprogesterone acetate was associated with a significantly increased risk of intracranial meningioma — a tumor that forms in the membranes surrounding the brain.

While meningiomas are often non-cancerous, they can require invasive brain surgery, radiation, and lifelong monitoring, and can cause vision problems, seizures, and neurological damage.

Lawsuits allege that the manufacturer knew or should have known about this risk and failed to warn patients and doctors. If you received Depo-Provera injections and were later diagnosed with a meningioma, you may be entitled to compensation.

A meningioma is a tumor that develops in the protective membranes around the brain and spinal cord. Even benign meningiomas can cause serious symptoms and often require surgery or radiation.

How do I prove I received Depo-Provera?

Pharmacy records, medical charts, and OB/GYN records typically document each injection. Participating law firms can help collect these records for you.

I still use Depo-Provera. Should I stop?
