Depo-Provera Lawsuit
Important Information Regarding Depo-Provera Meningioma Lawsuits
A recent study conducted by researchers at the National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety in France, and published in the March, 2024 issue of the British Medical Journal (BMJ), indicates women who used Depo-Provera for more than a year had a 5-fold increased risk of developing a meningioma (brain tumor) than women who did not use the drug.
The researchers discovered a correlation between the prolonged use of a progestogen-based drug, with an increased risk of developing meningiomas.
The study found that medroxyprogesterone acetate, a progestogen-based contraceptive drug, sold under the brand name Depo-Provera®, increased the risk of meningioma by 5X, with long-term use.

Pfizer’s Response to Depo-Provera Meningioma Lawsuits
In response to the published research report, Pfizer, the manufacturer of Depo-Provera, acknowledged the potential risks associated with long-term progestogen use. According to The Guardian, Pfizer plans to update product labels and patient information leaflets, to better inform users and their prescribers.
As a result of these serious findings, numerous lawsuits against Pfizer have been initiated. The lawsuits allege Pfizer failed to adequately warn users and healthcare providers of the potential risks using Depo-Provera. Some lawsuits allege Pfizer failed to conduct adequate testing prior to releasing Depo-Provera to the public.
About Depo-Provera
Depo-Provera, or Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), is a hormonal contraceptive injection. It is a commonly used form of birth control that is administered as an injection every three months.
The active ingredient, medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), was developed in the 1950s as a treatment for uterine cancer. In 1972, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) denied approval of Depo-Provera as a contraceptive due to safety concerns.
Some 20 years later, in 1992, Depo-Provera was authorized for contraceptive use in the U.S. Currently, it is used for birth control and for the treatment of endometriosis, abnormal uterine bleeding, and certain cancers.
Depo-Provera has also been available as a generic medication for 20 years..
What Is a Meningioma?
A meningioma is a tumor that develops in the meninges of the brain. Meninges are membranes in the central nervous system (CNS), that surround the brain and spinal cord. The tumor can exude pressure on brain tissue, nerves and blood vessels. Meningiomas are the most common type of tumor found in the head.
Meningiomas can grow slowly, sometimes over years without causing symptoms. However, when tumors affect structures in the brain, they can result in significant disabilities.

ASK TIM A QUESTION
NO COST TO YOU!

There's the Tim Misny you see on the billboards and on TV, but there's another Tim Misny that I know up close and personal.
The Tim Misny I know is genuinely passionate about helping the hard working little folks who get pushed around the big folks. He actually, really honestly cares about people who run into bad luck at no fault of their own. Tim has quietly, out of the sight of cameras and with no fanfare shared generously with the marginalized in our society; single moms, Veterans and others without expecting anything in return.
He calls them like he sees them and you wouldn't want to take your troubles to anyone else.
Thank you Tim for being a light in this community!

Thank you Tim
father figure one day. Tim loves nature & shares the true beauty of nature with how he raises his kids. From biking through trails & having his kids learn how to nurture the family garden - he teaches valuable lessons on how to appreciate the world we live in. I know that Tim is just a phone call away & always urgent to responding no matter the situation. He has given me some of the greatest advice & continously throwing positive energy my way! I'm honored to know him & be a friend of his. He is the true practioneer of changing lives & paying it forward. He has taught me so much in just a short amount of time. Tim Misny, a man that wakes up every single day to make a difference!

After I helped him through the checkout and he left, many different employees at the garden center asked me if I knew who that man was. I did not. They told me, “That’s Tim Misny!” Once I figured out “who” Tim Misny was, my confidence grew. It was a pivotal moment. One in which steered the rest of my life. His words stuck with me. I worked hard and obtained my Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice. I was hired by a local Law Enforcement Agency at the age of 21. I was sent to the Ohio State Highway Patrol Academy, which was an extremely tough place to be, to say the least. At the Academy, they try to break those who don’t have a determined spirit. On days I wanted to quit, I remembered Tim’s words. Maybe it was fate, maybe it was random chance.... I’ll never know But, Tim Misny helped me have the confidence and determination that was necessary to be where I’m at today. I’ve been a law enforcement officer for over 16 years. I’ve told this story to many of my coworkers.
Tim, you’ll never understand how your words that spring day helped shape my future. Your words enabled me to provide a great life for myself and my family. I’m forever grateful.
Mike
