What Is the Depo-Provera Lawsuit About?
Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a progestin-based hormonal birth control that’s administered through an injection every 3 months.
However, this medication may cause patients to develop tumors known as meningiomas in the brain or spine when used for over a year.
Women receiving Depo-Provera are 5 times more likely to develop meningiomas, according to The BMJ.
Despite being aware of this serious risk, drug manufacturer Pfizer hasn’t updated the Depo-Provera warning label to inform patients. Those affected may be able to file a Depo-Provera cancer lawsuit against the company.
At Sokolove Law, we’ve secured over $1.6 Billion for victims harmed by dangerous drugs and medical devices. Let us fight for you.
