Legal Help for Women Diagnosed with Meningioma After Depo-Provera
If you or a loved one developed a brain tumor after Depo-Provera injections, you are not alone. Hundreds of women have already filed lawsuits against Pfizer, claiming the company failed to warn about the link between Depo-Provera and meningiomas, a serious type of brain tumor. These lawsuits are now part of a rapidly growing mass tort known as MDL 3140.

Why Are Women Filing Depo-Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuits?
A landmark 2024 BMJ study found that women who use Depo-Provera for 12 months or longer face a 5.6-fold increased risk of intracranial meningioma. Meningiomas are tumors that grow in the lining of the brain and can cause serious neurological problems. While many meningiomas are benign, they often require complex surgery, especially when located near the skull base.
Despite this scientific evidence, Pfizer has not updated Depo-Provera’s U.S. label to warn about meningioma risk. Other countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, have added meningioma warnings to Depo-Provera packaging.
Key Findings from the 2024 BMJ Study:
5.6 times higher risk of brain tumors in long-term Depo-Provera users.
Tumors often located near the skull base, increasing surgical complexity
