Time may be running out to file your claim
The Depo-Provera lawsuit revolves around claims that the long-acting birth control injection Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) increases the risk of serious health complications, particularly meningioma brain tumors. The legal battle has attracted growing attention because of its implications for women’s health, pharmaceutical accountability, and regulatory oversight.
Depo-Provera, manufactured by Pfizer, has been widely prescribed since the 1990s as an injectable contraceptive, marketed as a convenient alternative to daily oral birth control pills. However, recent medical studies have raised red flags about the safety of prolonged use. Research suggests that women using Depo-Provera for more than a year may face a significantly increased risk of developing meningiomas compared to women who use other forms of hormonal contraception.
Lawsuits began to surface in 2024, when women who developed meningiomas after years of Depo-Provera use accused Pfizer of failing to warn patients and doctors about the risks. Plaintiffs allege that while regulators in Europe and the UK required new safety warnings, U.S. labels remained unchanged, leaving women inadequately informed.
In October 2024, the first federal Depo-Provera lawsuit was filed, and by early 2025, cases were consolidated into a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL-3140) in the Northern District of Florida under Judge M. Casey Rodgers. The MDL allows hundreds of lawsuits to move forward in a coordinated way. As of August 2025, more than 550 cases are pending, with that number expected to grow significantly.
While no major settlements have been reached yet, the outcome of bellwether trials (expected in 2026–2027) could shape the course of future litigation. Plaintiffs are seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages against Pfizer

3 Simple Steps to See If You Qualify for the Depo-Provera Lawsuit — We Handle the Hard Work, You Focus on Healing
To be eligible for a Depo-Provera lawsuit, you typically must meet a few key criteria. These lawsuits generally relate to claims that prolonged use of Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate, a birth control injection) caused serious health complications, most commonly meningioma brain tumors.
Here are the usual eligibility requirements:
1. Diagnosis of a Qualifying Condition
You must have a medical diagnosis of a condition linked to Depo-Provera use, most commonly a meningioma. Other complications may be considered depending on the case, but proper medical documentation confirming your diagnosis is required.
2. Use of Depo-Provera
You must have used Depo-Provera for a period of time, usually months or years, as the claims involve long-term exposure. Evidence of prescriptions or medical records showing use is needed.
3. Timing of Use and Diagnosis
Your Depo-Provera use should have occurred prior to the diagnosis of the qualifying condition, allowing for the reasonable timeframe alleged in lawsuits.
4. Statute of Limitations
Each state has deadlines for filing a claim, often 2–3 years from diagnosis or discovery that Depo-Provera may have contributed to your condition. If the deadline has passed, eligibility may be affected, though exceptions can sometimes apply.
5. No Prior Settlement or Waiver
If you’ve already settled a Depo-Provera claim or signed a retainer with another law firm, you typically cannot start a new claim with a different firm
