Depo-Provera, a birth control injection commonly used by millions of women, has recently been linked to potentially severe side effects. Emerging evidence and claims have raised concerns about the possibility of Depo-Provera increasing the risk of tumors. If you or a loved one has experienced complications after receiving Depo-Provera, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
What is Depo-Provera?
Depo-Provera is a long-acting injectable contraceptive designed to prevent pregnancy for up to three months. It releases a synthetic hormone, medroxyprogesterone acetate, which stops ovulation and thickens cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg.
Health Risks of Depo-Provera
While Depo-Provera has been marketed as a safe and effective form of birth control, alarming reports indicate potential long-term risks that were not fully disclosed to patients, including women developing meningioma, a slow-growing tumor that forms in the meninges (the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord brain tumors).
