Depo-Provera, a popular injectable birth control option, has been linked to an increased risk of developing brain tumors called meningiomas. These growths can lead to serious neurological issues, including vision loss and other life-altering complications.
If you or a loved one has experienced these side effects after using Depo-Provera, Legal Claim Assistance is here to help. We assist families nationwide in seeking compensation through the Depo-Provera lawsuit.
What is the Depo-Provera Lawsuit About?
Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a progestin-based hormonal injection administered every three months for birth control. Research shows that prolonged use, especially over a year, may increase the risk of developing meningiomas — noncancerous tumors that can grow in the brain or spine.
According to a study published in The BMJ, women using Depo-Provera are five times more likely to develop meningiomas. Despite knowing the risks, the drug manufacturer has not updated the product’s warning label to inform patients. Those affected may now be eligible to file a lawsuit for compensation against the manufacturer.
At Legal Claim Assistance, we connect individuals with legal resources and experienced attorneys who are committed to fighting for justice and securing compensation for clients impacted by dangerous drugs.
Who Can File a Depo-Provera Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to file a Depo-Provera lawsuit if you or someone you love:
- Used Depo-Provera, Depo-SubQ Provera 104, or generic versions
- Was diagnosed with a brain or spinal meningioma
- Has undergone or is scheduled for surgery or radiation therapy due to this condition
Time may be limited to file a lawsuit because of state statutes of limitations, which restrict the timeframe in which legal action can be pursued. Missing this deadline means losing the chance to seek compensation, so act now to understand your rights.
Symptoms of a Brain Tumor from Depo-Provera
Meningiomas may grow slowly and go undetected for years, but as they expand, they can put pressure on the brain and lead to various symptoms. Signs of a possible Depo-Provera-related brain tumor include:
- Blurred or double vision
- Hearing loss
- Memory loss or confusion
- Loss of smell
- Seizures
- Weakness in the arms or legs
- Difficulty speaking
While meningiomas are typically noncancerous, they can require invasive treatments like surgery or radiation to alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications. Filing a lawsuit may help cover costs associated with medical treatments, lost income, and more.
