If you or a loved one has experienced severe side effects after using Depo-Provera, you may be entitled to compensation. Harman Law, an experienced personal injury law firm based in Atlanta, Georgia, is dedicated to helping individuals pursue justice and hold pharmaceutical companies accountable for defective drugs.

Understanding the Risks of Depo-Provera

Depo-Provera, a contraceptive injection containing medroxyprogesterone acetate, has been widely prescribed to prevent pregnancy. While effective for this purpose, recent studies have raised concerns about serious side effects, including an increased risk of developing meningiomas, a type of brain tumor. According to a study published in The BMJ, prolonged use of Depo-Provera was associated with a 5.6-fold increased risk of intracranial meningioma.

Meningiomas are typically non-cancerous tumors that develop in the layers of tissue covering the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms can vary depending on the tumor’s location and size but may include:

• Chronic headaches
• Vision problems
• Seizures
• Memory or cognitive issues

In addition to meningiomas, other complications associated with Depo-Provera may include bone density loss and long-term hormonal imbalances.

Pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their products. If they fail to provide adequate warnings about potential risks, they may be held liable for the harm caused to patients.
