Robins Kaplan LLP is Investigating Brain & Spinal Tumors Linked to Birth Control Use
Robins Kaplan LLP is investigating claims of women who received the birth control medication Depo-Provera and later developed tumors, known as meningiomas, around the brain or spine. If you received Depo-Provera and developed a tumor, please call us at 1.800.553.9910 or complete our online contact form for a free evaluation.
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.
Contact Robins Kaplan for an Evaluation of Your Potential Case
If you have received the birth control medication Depo-Provera and developed a brain tumor, the attorneys at Robins Kaplan may be able to help. Our experienced lawyers can help assess your case and provide crucial support while advocating for your rights.
