Depo-Provera’s Link to Meningioma

Recently, the British Medical Journal published a French study on the link between Depo-Provera and intracranial meningioma. The researchers accessed more than 100,000 medical records of women who had used Depo-Provera and similar birth control injectable medications, many of whom had used such drugs for more than a decade. By evaluating the medical records and data, it was concluded that women who used Depo-Provera at least four times or for one year had, on average, a five-times increase in meningioma risk compared to women who did not use Depo-Provera.

Researchers think the main cause of this unsafe complication is medroxyprogesterone acetate, a type of synthetic progestin hormone, used in Depo-Provera. This chemical substance interrupts ovulation and thickens the cervical mucus to greatly reduce the chances of pregnancy. However, this synthetic hormone could be causing increased meningioma risks in users.

Intracranial Meningioma Dangers

Intracranial meningioma is a type of brain tumor. While meningioma may be benign, as it is with all types of brain tumors, it can cause many different health complications based on where it appears, how much it grows, and what sort of damage it causes to surrounding tissues.

People with intracranial meningioma can suffer from:

• Seizures
• Numbness or weakness of different body parts
• Migraines
• Confusion
• Memory loss, difficulty speaking, or changes in personality
• Loss of hearing, vision, and smell
• Problems with coordination

To remove intracranial meningioma, brain surgery is very likely. For this reason, Depo-Provera use might expose women to the risks of both intracranial meningioma symptoms and the possible risks commonly associated with brain surgery performed in even the most careful of medical settings.

Is Pfizer Liable for Depo-Provera Dangers?

Multiple lawsuits have already been filed against Pfizer and are gaining traction in courts. The plaintiffs in these lawsuits argue that Pfizer should be held liable for any and all harm caused by the unsafe medication that it sold for years.

Pfizer might be found liable for the harm caused by Depo-Provera due to:

• Strict product liability laws that allow drug manufacturers like Pfizer to be held liable for any harm that its products cause consumers.
• Accusations that Pfizer knew or should have reasonably known about Depo-Provera’s links to meningioma yet intentionally hid this information and failed to warn medical providers and the public.

If you used Depo-Provera and were diagnosed with meningioma, you do not want to miss your opportunity to also take Pfizer to court by waiting too long. Talk to a Depo-Provera lawyer from Fulmer Sill today to learn your options.
