Depo Provera Side Effects

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate injection) is a long-acting hormonal birth control method administered as an injection every 3 months. However, mounting evidence shows that this contraceptive method may cause serious and permanent health problems, particularly related to bone density loss and cancer risks.

Serious Side Effects Linked to Depo Provera:

  • Bone Density Loss (Osteoporosis): Significant and potentially permanent loss of bone mineral density, especially with long-term use
  • Fractures: Increased risk of broken bones, particularly hip and spine fractures
  • Breast Cancer: Studies suggest increased risk of invasive breast cancer
  • Cervical Cancer: Potential increased risk of cervical cancer
  • Blood Clots: Increased risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
  • Weight Gain: Significant and difficult-to-reverse weight gain
  • Depression & Mood Changes: Severe mood swings, depression, and anxiety
  • Infertility: Delayed return to fertility after discontinuation

Who May Qualify for a Depo Provera Lawsuit:

  • Women who used Depo-Provera and were diagnosed with osteoporosis or low bone density
  • Women who suffered bone fractures after using Depo-Provera
  • Women diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer after Depo-Provera use
  • Women who experienced severe blood clots (DVT or pulmonary embolism)
  • Women who suffered permanent bone density loss requiring medical treatment
  • Family members of women who died from Depo-Provera related complications

Why Pfizer/Upjohn May Be Liable:

  • Failure to adequately warn about bone density loss risks
  • Marketing the drug as safe without proper long-term safety studies
  • Downplaying or hiding known risks associated with the medication
  • Inadequate recommendations for bone density monitoring
  • Failure to warn about increased cancer risks

  • Compensation for medical expenses and ongoing treatment
  • Lost wages from time off work
  • Pain and suffering damages
  • Future medical care costs
  • Loss of quality of life
