Depo-Provera is a progestin-based hormonal birth control that’s administered through an injection every three months. While effective in preventing pregnancy, research has uncovered a dangerous side effect: an increased risk of developing meningiomas tumors that form in the brain or spine. Despite these findings, Pfizer, the drug’s manufacturer, has yet to update the warning labels to inform patients of these risks.
Women who use Depo-Provera for over a year are up to five times more likely to develop meningiomas compared to those who don’t use the drug. These tumors can trigger headaches, vision loss, memory issues, seizures or even paralysis.
