Depo Provera
Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (a synthetic progestin) and is made by Pfizer. It is typically administered once every three months to prevent ovulation and pregnancy.
A meningioma is a typically benign brain tumour arising from the projective layers of tissues around the brain and spinal cord.
Scientific research has suggested that certain hormones, including progestins, maybe influence the growth of meningiomas. Prolonged use of high-dose progestins has been associated with an increased likelihood of meningioma.
Over the last lever years, there have been lawsuits filed in the United States regarding Depo-Provera’s the possible association with meningioma that allege the manufacturers did not sufficiently warn patients or healthcare providers about the risk of meningioma. Most cases centre around whether there is sufficient evidence to show Depo-Provera was a substantial factor in causing the meningioma and whether the manufacturer provided adequate warnings.
One challenge is that meningiomas can sometimes remain asymptomatic for long periods, and they can also be influenced by genetic predisposition and other risk factors. Demonstrating direct causation can be legally and scientifically complex.
