Because the current drug label for Depo-Provera Contraceptive Injection (version “Revised: 7/2024”, accessed 10/16/24) does not include any warning about an increased risk of intracranial meningioma, we are investigating possible Depo-Provera meningioma brain tumors drug injury lawsuits seeking legal compensation for women who have been diagnosed with meningioma after using this injectable birth control product for years in the past.
These Depo-Provera meningioma brain tumors drug injury lawsuits would be product liability cases filed against the responsible pharmaceutical companies for their failure to warn about brain tumors from birth control Depo-Provera injections. We note that these lawsuits would not be against a woman’s doctors.
This March 2024 BMJ article, “Use of progestogens and the risk of intracranial meningioma: national case-control study”, provides these details about the increased risk of those brain tumors from birth control Depo-Provera injections.
Most significantly, it reported that Depo-Provera contraceptive injections increased the risk of brain tumors called intracranial meningioma by 5.6 times if women used Depo-Provera for longer than a year.
Intracranial meningiomas are mostly non-cancerous or non-malignant tumors. However, cancerous or malignant meningiomas account for 40% of cancers in the central nervous system. Both of these forms of intracranial meningioma are potentially serious medical conditions. Meningiomas grow in layers of tissue covering the brain and spinal cord.
If you are interested in reviewing some general medical information about meningioma, we direct you to the Mayo Clinic’s “Symptoms & causes” and “Diagnosis & treatment” web pages.
In summary, meningioma brain tumors from birth control Depo-Provera injections are a drug safety issue that has resulted in some drug injury lawsuits being filed against the responsible pharmaceutical companies.
