What is Depo-Provera?

Depo-Provera is a birth control medication, usually administered as a shot, that is used to prevent pregnancy. Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer manufactures Depo-Provera, while several other companies sell a generic version of the medication.

In March 2024, a study published in the British Medical Journal found that women who consistently received Depo-Provera had a 555% increased risk of developing intracranial meningiomas (brain tumors). While most meningiomas are benign and grow slowly, they often require surgical removal due to the pressure they can put on the brain.

The FDA approved Depo-Provera for contraceptive use back in 1992. The current label in the United States does not warn against the increased risk of developing meningiomas but labels in Europe do.
