The drug has been linked to serious health risks that many patients were not fully informed about before use. If you are experiencing side effects or injuries as a result of Depo-Provera, you may be able to take legal action.
Depo-Provera Lawsuit Overview
Depo-Provera contains the synthetic hormone medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), which prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation and thickening cervical mucus. Despite its widespread use, research suggests it can cause brain tumors, such as intracranial meningiomas.
Drug manufacturers failed to warn doctors and patients about these risks and rushed Depo-Provera to market without adequate long-term studies. Despite growing evidence, these companies failed to update the medication’s label with proper warnings regarding the risks of these conditions. Anyone who has experienced side effects following the use of Depo-Provera may be entitled to compensation as part of a class action lawsuit. Please reach out today for a free consultation.
