“Our client was prescribed Depo-Provera both before and after being diagnosed with a meningioma. The use of Depo-Provera caused the meningioma to grow, ultimately necessitating a craniotomy. Pfizer is named as a defendant in this claim.”
Dr. Greg Vigna, MD, JD, states, “By 2018, Pfizer had reason to issue a Dear Doctor Letter warning of the risk of meningioma growth and recurrence associated with the continued use of Depo-Provera. However, they did not.”
Dr. Vigna concludes, “Depo-Provera may be associated with an increased risk of meningioma, and this risk could have potentially been avoided through the use of traditional birth control pills. In this case, we have also named the prescribing physician, who continued prescribing the drug after the meningioma diagnosis was know, which may have contributed to further tumor growth and ultimately led to the need for a craniotomy (brain surgery).”
Case No. 25-2-04507-06
