Does Depo-Provera cause brain tumors?

Research shows Depo-Provera users were 5.6 times more likely to develop these brain tumors compared to women who did not receive the injections.

The aforementioned study confirms a direct link between Depo-Provera and brain tumor development.

Here's what the researchers found:

• Women using Depo-Provera long-term got diagnosed with meningiomas more often
• Their tumors kept growing if they stayed on the shots
• When women stopped the shots, some tumors shrank
• The longer women used Depo-Provera, the higher their risk became

Pfizer, which manufactures Depo-Provera, finally addressed these issues last April 2024. They admitted the problem and said they're working with health agencies to update their warning labels. This is a notable change; they're finally recognizing what the medication can do to women's health in the long term.

Your personal risk of getting a brain tumor from Depo-Provera depends on several factors:

• How long you've been getting the shots
• Your medical history
• Any other health conditions you have
