\"injection-4544448_640\"The drug company Pfizer manufactures the popular form of contraception Depo-Provera. It\u2019s a contraceptive administered via an injection every three months; it suppresses ovulation and thickens cervical mucus to block sperm\u2019s ability to get to the egg. However, studies have shown that there is a link between increased risk<\/a> of brain tumors and Depo Provera, and this has resulted in an increased uptick in danger drug lawsuits filed. If you were harmed by Depo-Provera, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we\u2019ve been involved.<\/p>\n

Many patients use hormonal birth control. One of these methods is Depo-Provera, an intramuscular injection of medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic form of progesterone, into a buttock or arm. It impacts reproduction. The chances of getting pregnant are reduced through the alteration of the uterine lining and stop of ovulation. It\u2019s more than 99% effective if it\u2019s routinely given on schedule.<\/p>\n

Depo-Provera has been connected to a patient\u2019s increased risk of meningioma, which is a kind of brain tumor. In fact, studies have revealed that long-term use of Depo-Provera markedly ups the chances of developing these kinds of tumors. Specifically, the British Medical Journal<\/em> has indicated a 5.6-fold increase in risk of intracranial tumors due to Depo-Provera\u2014which can cause brain pressure that requires invasive surgery that carries severe health problems and complications. You may be especially vulnerable if you\u2019ve used Depo-Provera for a lengthy time. The symptoms of meningioma you should look out for include hearing loss, seizures, vision problems, persistent headaches, and weakness. It\u2019s noteworthy that other progestogens like levonorgestrel intrauterine systems and dydrogesterone don\u2019t seem associated with an increased risk.<\/p>\n
