Who Can File a Depo Provera Meningioma Lawsuit?

National Depo Provera brain tumor attorneys provide information on who qualifies to file a lawsuit

Women who have been diagnosed with meningioma brain tumors and taken Depo Provera, a contraceptive injection, are now learning of the link between the two. A large, decade-long study published in the British Medical Journal indicates a connection between high-progestin drugs including Depo Provera, medrogestone and promegestone and higher rates of meningioma. Critics say a connection between Depo Provera and brain tumors has been long suspected and question whether the drug's developer. Pfizer, did all it could to understand Depo Provera risks and dangers.

If you or a loved one was diagnosed with a meningioma brain tumor after using Depo Provera, you may be eligible to file a Depo Provera brain tumor lawsuit. Our law firm offers free, confidential consultations to anyone who believes they may have a claim. Below, we outline the basic qualifications considered in each Depo Provera meningioma lawsuit claim.

• Meningioma Diagnosis: Meningioma brain tumors are a recently-discovered side effect of Depo Provera, medrogestone and promegestone. Meningiomas are tumors that occur in the lining of the brain and spinal cord. While they are most often not cancer, meningioma brain tumors do pose serious and life-threatening risks. Treatment often includes neurosurgery, which can result in seizures, brain damage, and other potential harms. Meningioma brain tumors can recur after treatment. If you or a family member has been diagnosed with meningioma after using Depo Provera, you may qualify to file a lawsuit.
• Exposure to Depo Provera, Medrogestone or Promegestone: Drugs containing high-levels of the synthetic hormone progestin include Depo Provera, medrogestone or promegestone. Each one of these drugs has been found to cause an elevated risk for meningioma when taken for at least a year. If you or your family member had a history of using Depo Provera, medrogestone or promegestone before meningioma diagnosis, you may be eligible to file a claim.

If you believe you meet these qualifications, it is likely you qualify to file a Depo Provera brain tumor lawsuit. There are multiple reasons to file a claim. First, Depo Provera lawyers believe individuals who have suffered from Depo Provera brain tumors may be eligible for compensation for the expense of associated medical expenses, pain, suffering, and loss. More meaningful than that to some is the opportunity to hold a large corporation accountable for patient safety and dishonest business practices.
