Depo-Provera: What You Need to Know About this Widely Used Contraceptive
Depo-Provera, a widely used contraceptive injection, has helped countless women manage their reproductive health for decades. However, recent legal actions have drawn attention to a serious health concern: the potential link between long-term use of Depo-Provera and the development of brain tumors, specifically high-grade gliomas.
Numerous women who used Depo-Provera over extended periods have been diagnosed with these aggressive brain tumors, prompting a growing number of lawsuits. These cases are now consolidated into a large multi-district litigation (MDL), in which VanDerGinst Law is actively advocating for victims.
The MDL and Legal Action
The lawsuits allege that pharmaceutical companies failed to warn women of the possible connection between Depo-Provera and brain tumors like gliomas. Victims claim they were unaware of the increased risks and, as a result, developed life-altering tumors that required surgery, radiation, or radiation therapy.
The court is consolidating these claims into an MDL to efficiently evaluate evidence and seek justice for thousands of women who have suffered from this devastating diagnosis.
The Risks of Long-Term Depo-Provera Use
Emerging research and survivor testimonies suggest that extended Depot-Provera use may be associated with an increased risk of high-grade gliomas, which are among the most aggressive brain tumors. These tumors can cause severe neurological damage and have serious, sometimes life-threatening, consequences for those affected.
