Have You Been Diagnosed with a Tumor After Using Depo-Provera?

Audet & Partners, LLP is actively investigating claims that this widely used contraceptive may be linked to serious health risks, including the development of certain tumors. If you believe you may be affected, our firm is here to provide you with guidance and support as we work to uncover the truth behind these alarming allegations.

What Is Depo-Provera?

Depo-Provera is a birth control injection containing medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. Approved by the FDA in 1992, it has been marketed as a convenient and effective contraceptive, offering protection against pregnancy for up to three months per injection. Despite its popularity, mounting evidence suggests that Depo-Provera may come with significant risks beyond the commonly known side effects.

What Are the Allegations?

Recent investigations have raised concerns about a potential link between Depo-Provera and the development of tumors, particularly brain tumors such as meningiomas. These allegations stem from studies indicating that prolonged use of high-dose progestin contraceptives may increase the likelihood of tumor growth. While research is ongoing, the emerging data has prompted regulatory scrutiny and legal actions against the manufacturer, Pfizer, for allegedly failing to adequately warn users about these risks.

Understanding the Risks

The reported tumors are primarily non-cancerous meningiomas, which arise in the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. However, these tumors can still have serious consequences, including:

• Persistent headaches
• Vision problems
• Seizures
• Cognitive or neurological impairments

For individuals diagnosed with these tumors, the implications can be life-altering, often requiring surgical intervention and ongoing medical care. Lawsuits allege that Pfizer knew or should have known about these risks and failed to provide sufficient warnings to patients and healthcare providers.

Authorized Generics Included in Lawsuits

The lawsuits also encompass authorized generic versions of Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable suspension), which are marketed by companies such as Greenstone LLC and Prasco Laboratories. These authorized generics are chemically identical to the branded Depo-Provera and manufactured by Pfizer. Despite being marketed under different labels, they carry the same potential risks and are subject to the same allegations of failure to warn and negligent marketing practices. Legal claims argue that the liabilities of the brand manufacturer, Pfizer, extend to its authorized generic counterparts due to their identical composition and shared manufacturing process.

Legal Basis for the Lawsuit

Plaintiffs in the Depo-Provera tumor lawsuits claim that Pfizer:

1. Failed to Warn: Did not disclose the full scope of potential risks associated with long-term use of Depo-Provera.
2. Negligent Marketing: Marketed the product as safe and effective without adequately addressing safety concerns.
3. Product Liability: Released a product with a defective design or inadequate safety measures.

If successful, these lawsuits could result in compensation for:

• Medical expenses related to diagnosis and treatment
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
