Depo-Provera & Brain Tumors

Depo-Provera is an injectable contraceptive (medroxyprogesterone acetate) used by millions of women worldwide. Recently, new research has raised concerns about the long-term use of this drug and potential links to brain tumours called meningiomas. Plaintiffs allege that the manufacturer, Pfizer Inc., failed to provide adequate warnings about these risks. 

The litigation centers on key claims such as:

• Failure to warn – that Pfizer did not inform patients and healthcare providers of the elevated meningioma risk associated with prolonged Depo-Provera use.
   
• Negligence in research and testing – that adequate long-term safety studies were not performed before widespread use.
   
• Misrepresentation of safety – that the drug was promoted as a convenient, safe contraceptive option without disclosing serious risks.
   

The litigation has been consolidated into a multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the Northern District of Florida, allowing law firms to coordinate discovery and streamline plaintiff case handling. 

Women who used Depo-Provera or a generic equivalent, particularly for long durations (e.g., one year or more), and who subsequently developed a meningioma tumour may have a viable claim.
For law firms, this presents a window of opportunity to build a practice around these claims:

• Cases span years of use, diagnosis timelines, and variable tumour severity — making individualized legal representation key.
   
• Lead counsel appointments and MDL coordination mean strategic case build-out is critical.
   
• Detailed medical records, imaging confirming meningioma, prescription history, and symptom documentation are essential in building viable claims. Drugwatch.com
