Which progestin-based drugs increase the risk of meningioma brain tumors for Ohio women?

While many drugs contain the synthetic hormone known as progestin, only medications containing a high dose of progestin have been found to increase the risk of meningioma brain tumors for women in Ohio. The contraceptive shot Depo Provera, also known as medroxyprogesterone acetate, is one drug that increases the risk of meningioma. The other two drugs associated with higher rates of meningioma include medrogestone and promegestone, which are used to treat conditions like endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome in Ohio, and in hormone replacement therapy during menopause.

When did researchers find the connection between Depo Provera and meningioma brain tumors?

New research published in the British Medical Journal in early 2024 is the most conclusive evidence of a link between Depo Provera and meningioma. The Depo Provera meningioma study published in 2024 was conducted in France over the course of a decade, tracking 108,366 women. A total of 18,061 of these had confirmed cases of meningioma brain tumors. Based on their diagnosis and a history using Depo Provera, the researchers determined that taking Depo Provera for a year made women 5.6 times more likely to develop a meningioma brain tumor. However, another study was published in 2023 that made the same connection with a much smaller number of test subjects.

Who is most at risk for developing meningioma from Depo Provera, promegestone, and medrogestone in Ohio ?

Anyone in Ohio who took Depo Provera, its generic version called medroxyprogesterone acetate, or another high-progestin drug including medrogestone and promegestone for at least a year may be more likely to develop a brain tumor or meningioma.

We're not the type of people who sue; do we really need to file a lawsuit?

If a member of your family suffered a serious injury or health problem as a result of a defective product or dangerous drug, long-term, or even lifelong, medical care may be required. This could be incredibly expensive and since medical costs are continually rising may be largely unknown at the time of settlement or trial. If a member of your family died due to a defective product or dangerous drug, no amount of money can undo that wrong. It is our fervent hope that every defective product, drug or other medication lawsuit we file can serve to make the manufacturer take note of the loss and pain its product has caused. When that fails to make a company take action in the form of a product recall, greater warnings about its use and ultimately making safer products, we rely on their profit motivation to make them do the right thing. Unfortunately, in all too many cases it is only the fear of lawsuits and large settlements and verdicts that makes a company become a better corporate citizen.
