What Is Depo-Provera?
Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is an injectable contraceptive commonly prescribed to prevent pregnancy. The injection is administered once every three months and has been widely used for decades. While marketed as safe and effective, recent evidence has linked long-term Depo-Provera use to serious health risks, including the development of brain tumors.
Depo-Provera and Brain Tumor Risk
Medical research has shown a strong association between Depo-Provera use and meningioma brain tumors. According to The British Medical Journal, women who used Depo-Provera were five times more likely to develop meningiomas compared to those who did not use the drug.
Despite this known risk, many patients allege that the drug’s manufacturer, Pfizer, failed to adequately warn doctors and patients about the potential dangers associated with long-term use.
On January 5, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a label change for Depo-Provera to include a warning regarding the increased risk of meningioma brain tumors.
What Is a Meningioma?
A meningioma is a typically non-malignant tumor that forms in the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges. Although often benign, meningiomas can grow large enough to press on the brain, nerves, or blood vessels, potentially causing serious and life-altering complications.
Common symptoms may include:
- Persistent headaches
- Vision changes
- Seizures
- Memory loss
- Weakness or numbness
In severe cases, meningiomas can become life-threatening if left untreated.
Treatment and Long-Term Impact
Treatment for meningioma frequently requires surgical removal of the tumor. Brain surgery carries significant risks, particularly when the tumor is located near critical areas of the brain or central nervous system. Patients may face complications such as nerve damage, cognitive impairment, or permanent disability.
Beyond physical risks, many patients experience long-term emotional distress, lost wages, and substantial medical expenses.

You may be eligible to file a Depo-Provera brain tumor lawsuit if:
- You received Depo-Provera injections for one year or longer, and
- You were diagnosed with a meningioma brain tumor, and
- You required surgery or ongoing medical treatment as a result
