Wagstaff & Cartmell LLP is actively investigating claims on behalf of individuals who developed brain tumors after using Depo-Provera. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a meningioma or another brain tumor following the use of this contraceptive injection, you may be eligible for compensation.
What is Depo-Provera?
Depo-Provera is a long-acting contraceptive injection that has been used by millions of women across the United States since its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1992. The drug contains medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), a synthetic form of the hormone progestin, which prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation.
While Depo-Provera is highly effective at preventing pregnancy, recent studies have raised serious concerns about its long-term safety, particularly in relation to brain tumors known as meningiomas.
What is a Meningioma?
Meningiomas are tumors that develop in the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. While these tumors are generally benign, they can grow in size and compress critical brain structures, causing severe health problems.
Common Symptoms of Meningiomas:
✔ Seizures
✔ Blurred or double vision
✔ Persistent headaches, often worse in the morning
✔ Hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
✔ Memory problems or cognitive impairment
✔ Difficulty speaking or communicating
✔ Weakness or numbness in arms or legs
✔ Loss of sense of smell
If left untreated, meningiomas may require surgical removal or radiation therapy, both of which carry significant risks, including seizure disorders, permanent brain injury, lasting cognitive impairment, depression, and even death.
Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) Against Pfizer and Other Manufacturers
Due to the growing number of lawsuits, cases involving Depo-Provera have been consolidated into a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL 3140) in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. This MDL allows for efficient legal proceedings and ensures that all affected individuals receive fair and consistent treatment in the courts.
If you have been diagnosed with a meningioma or other brain tumor after using Depo-Provera, you may be eligible to join this lawsuit and seek compensation for:
✔ Medical expenses (past, present, and future)
✔ Lost wages due to disability
✔ Pain and suffering
✔ Long-term rehabilitation and therapy costs
Do You Qualify for a Depo-Provera Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to file a lawsuit if you:
✔ Received Depo-Provera injections as a form of birth control
✔ Were later diagnosed with a brain tumor (such as a meningioma)
✔ Experienced neurological symptoms such as vision loss, memory problems, or seizures
