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.
A medical journal article published in March 2024 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.
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.
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 drug injury lawsuits seeking legal compensation for women who have been diagnosed with those brain tumors.
That type of lawsuit would be a product liability case filed against the responsible pharmaceutical companies for their failure to warn about brain tumors from birth control Depo-Provera injections. We note that the lawsuit would not be against the woman’s doctors.
Please feel free to contact us to learn more about how the contraceptive injection Depo-Provera being linked to intracranial meningioma might be a drug injury lawsuit seeking legal compensation for women diagnosed with a brain tumor after using this birth control product for years in the past.
