Is Depo-Provera Linked to Your Health Issues? What You Need to Know

If you’ve used Depo-Provera and later faced serious health issues like diagnosis of meningioma, you’re not alone. Concerns are growing about a potential link between this contraceptive and conditions like meningiomas, which can cause lasting health problems. Understanding the risks and knowing your options can be the first step toward protecting your health and holding manufacturers accountable.

 

What is the Depo-Provera Lawsuit About?

The lawsuit focuses on the potential link between Depo-Provera, a widely used injectable contraceptive, and serious health complications such as meningiomas. Evidence suggests that prolonged use of the drug may significantly increase the risk of these conditions..

 

Do I Qualify to Join The Lawsuit?

To determine whether you may qualify for the Depo-Provera lawsuit, consider the following key factors:

  1. Prolonged Use of Depo-Provera
    Did you use Depo-Provera for 12 consecutive months or longer?
  2. Diagnosis of meningioma
    Were you diagnosed with a meningioma after using Depo-Provera?
    • Meningiomas are the most commonly reported tumors in these cases.
  3. Current or Previous Representation
    If you have already been represented by another attorney for this matter or accepted a settlement, it may affect your eligibility. However, our team can review your case to determine the best course of action.
