Depo Provera and Brain Cancer

Users of Depo Provera (injectable medroxyprogesterone acetate), a progestin-based hormonal birth control, who developed brain cancer may be entitled to compensation.

In a study just released in the top medical journal BMJ, researchers found a strong link between use of contraceptives like Depo Provera and development of intracranial meningioma, a type of brain cancer.

How Can We Help?

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Symptoms of brain cancer (meningioma) caused by hormonal birth control Depo Provera

  • Blurred vision
  • Numbness
  • Headaches
  • Weakness in limbs
  • Seizures
  • Memory loss

Women between the ages of 40 – 70 are most at risk, but anyone who used progestin injections could be affected.

Meningioma tumors develop on the meninges, which is a membrane around the brain and spinal cord. They can grow quite large thus affecting the brain and a myriad of important nerves that travel through that region.

Legal Options

If you used Depo Provera and developed brain cancer, you may be entitled to compensation to cover damages resulting from your diagnosis. Working with a law firm can help you recover medical costs and lost wages as well as well intangible costs related to pain and suffering and quality of life issues. If the company manufacturing Depo Provera is found to have been negligent, additional compensation is available in the form of punitive damages.
