Depo-Provera: The Most Recent Legal Battle

Depo-Provera, a contraceptive injection, has become the most recent focus of birth control litigation. In early 2024, research revealed that prolonged use of Pfizer’s Depo-Provera was associated with an increased risk of brain and spinal cord tumors (meningiomas). When the research was announced, Pfizer stated, “We are aware of this potential risk.” In October 2024, The Women’s Health Litigation Team at Anapol Weiss, a leading law firm in personal injury and mass torts litigation, filed a lawsuit against Pfizer on behalf of a woman who used Depo-Provera for a prolonged period and developed a brain tumor. Tracy Finken Magnotta, one of the leading attorneys on the case, said, "Our client’s life has been forever altered, and we will fight to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice." Anapol Weiss is preparing additional lawsuits on behalf of other women who developed meningiomas after using Depo-Provera for a prolonged period.

As more women come forward with their claims, this case could follow in the footsteps of previous birth control lawsuits, with the potential for significant settlements and corporate accountability.

FDA Black Box Warning
In 2004, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
responded to concerns regarding fracture risk and the
potential of developing DMPA-induced osteoporosis by
issuing the following black box warning13:
Women who use Depo-Provera Contraceptive Injection may
lose significant bone-mineral density. Bone loss is greater
with increasing duration of use and may not be completely
reversible. It is unknown if use of Depo-Provera Contraceptive
Injection during adolescence or early adulthood, a critical
period of bone accretion, will reduce peak bone mass and
increase the risk for osteoporotic fracture in later life. Depo-
Provera Contraceptive Injection should be used as a long-
term birth-control method (eg, longer than 2 years) only if
other birth-control methods are inadequate
