Depo-Provera and Meningioma Risk
Women who used Depo-Provera contraceptive injections long-term (one year or more) and have been diagnosed with meningioma (a brain tumor) may have a claim. A 2024 BMJ study linked long-term medroxyprogesterone use to increased meningioma risk. Jim Glaser Law screens Massachusetts claims at no cost.
What this docket is about
Depo-Provera is the brand name for the medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable contraceptive, marketed by Pfizer (and originally Upjohn). A 2024 BMJ study found that women who used the injection for one year or more had a meaningfully elevated risk of intracranial meningioma. Multidistrict litigation has formed. Massachusetts plaintiffs are eligible to participate. Documentation of injection dates, prescribing pharmacy, and meningioma diagnosis are the central proofs.
