What Is Depo-Provera?
Depo-Provera is a birth control injection administered every three months to prevent pregnancy. While it offers an effective contraceptive option, its synthetic progestin content has raised questions about its safety, especially amid hormone-sensitive conditions.
Concerns Surrounding Depo-Provera
Several troubling health risks have emerged with the use of Depo-Provera, highlighting its potentially severe impact on long-term health:
- Links to brain tumors like meningiomas
- Potential bone density loss
- Neurological side effects
Additionally, studies suggest a slight increase in breast cancer risk among users, which may decrease after stopping use but remains a concern for many. These risks have prompted further investigation and litigation as women affected by the drug seek accountability and compensation.
Legal Developments Surrounding Depo-Provera
Recently, lawsuits involving Depo-Provera have illuminated concerns over the product’s design, health risks and inadequate warning labels. One primary complaint involves a design defect, with plaintiffs arguing that Pfizer failed to sufficiently warn about the high dose of synthetic progestin in Depo-Provera. Critics point to a safer alternative – Depo-SubQ Provera 104 with a lower dose – yet Pfizer continues to promote the higher risk version, prompting strict liability claims.
Another focus is the potential for class action suits and multidistrict litigation (MDL) as claims increase. Those harmed by Depo-Provera have legal options such as filing a lawsuit, negotiating a settlement or joining a mass tort. We can help you make the best possible decision about how to proceed.
