People Are Filing Class-Action Lawsuits In Several States Over The Health Risks Of Depo-Provera

An increasing number of class-action lawsuits are going after the maker of Depo-Provera alleging long-term usage of the drug has health risks that have not been made public

Tuesday, August 12, 2025 - More and more women around the United States are launching class-action lawsuits against Depo-Provera because they say they weren't told about the major health risks that come with using the injectable contraceptive. Studies show that using Depo-Provera greatly increases the risk of meningioma, a form of brain tumor. This is what the lawsuits are about. The plaintiffs say that the drug's maker didn't do enough to warn them about these possible concerns, which put them at risk of getting serious medical disorders that might change their lives. A lot of ladies are already working with a Depo-Provera lawyer to join current claims or start new ones. There are already various class actions going on in different states. A Depo-Provera cancer lawsuit can ask for money to cover medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering. This is especially true if the patient needed brain surgery or continuous neurological treatment. Lawyers involved in the lawsuits say that the unifying theme in all of them is that the patients should have been warned more about the growing data linking long-term usage to tumor growth. Legal experts think that more people will join these lawsuits as more information comes out. This might make this one of the biggest legal disputes over birth control in recent history.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that postmarket safety reports have been very important in finding a possible link between long-term use of Depo-Provera and a higher risk of meningioma. The agency has looked at a number of studies, including ones that looked at whole populations, and found that women who have used the medicine for a long time are more likely to get these tumors. Meningiomas are usually not malignant, but they can cause major difficulties like seizures, vision problems, and cognitive impairment because they are in the brain. People who are suing say that if they had been given the right information, they could have chosen other birth control methods and had frequent screenings to find possible cancers sooner. Some class-action lawsuits also say that the company kept aggressively marketing Depo-Provera even though early research from around the world showed that it was dangerous. Because of these accusations, people are asking for more openness in how drug corporations share new safety information with the public. It could take years for the legal issues to be resolved, but the number of filings is rising, which means that both the manufacturer and the regulators will have to deal with more and more pressure. Lawmakers and consumer advocates in a number of states are keeping a close eye on the lawsuit because they think it could lead to tighter drug safety rules and more thorough postmarket oversight.
