A newly filed lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California alleges that a woman from Lawndale, California, developed an intracranial meningioma as a result of using Depo-Provera.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff, who began receiving Depo-Provera injections in 2011, was not informed of the potential risks associated with the drug. She later experienced severe headaches, dizziness, vision and hearing loss, poor coordination, and seizures, which led to the diagnosis of a meningioma in 2015. Following this, she underwent a craniotomy and six months of radiation therapy, facing significant physical and financial challenges.

While the case was initially filed in California, it is expected to be transferred to the MDL in Florida.
