Depo-Provera and Meningioma: What the Lawsuits Allege and What to Gather
What is the Depo-Provera lawsuit about?
Lawsuits against Pfizer and related companies allege that long-term use of the Depo-Provera birth control injection (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is linked to meningioma, a type of brain tumor, and that users weren’t adequately warned. Federal cases were consolidated in a multidistrict litigation in the Northern District of Florida. Check current court status, since it changes.
What records do people usually gather?
- Dates and length of Depo-Provera injections, from clinic or pharmacy records
- Imaging and the meningioma diagnosis
- Any surgery or treatment records
- A list of symptoms and when they began
Is this medical advice? No. If you’ve used Depo-Provera and have symptoms such as persistent headaches or vision changes, talk to your doctor.
