What’s Going On with the Depo-Provera Shot Lawsuit?

Depo-Provera, also known as medroxyprogesterone acetate, is an injectable birth control used to prevent pregnancy. This medication is typically administered every 3 months.

However, when taken for over 1 year, Depo-Provera may increase the risk of brain tumors called meningiomas by more than 5 times, according to The BMJ.

Patients may be able to file a Depo-Provera shot lawsuit against Pfizer, the manufacturer of this contraceptive, for failing to warn them about the potential dangers associated with this medication.

At Simmons Hanly Conroy, we have over 25 years of experience standing up to powerful corporations that have harmed consumers.
