Dimopoulos Law Firm and Eglet Law Group have teamed up to take on pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, and generic pharmaceutical manufacturers Viatris, Greenstone, Prasco, and Pharmacia & Upjohn Co.

Today’s lawsuit was filed on behalf of a woman who alleges to have developed multiple brain tumors directly linked to the use of a birth control shot called Depo-Provera, a popular contraception injection commonly known as the “Depo Shot.”

The lawsuit alleges that Pfizer and others failed to adequately warn patients about known risks associated with Depo-Provera.

According to attorney Steve Dimopoulos, “The Dimopoulos and Eglet law firms are committed to holding pharmaceutical companies accountable for the safety of their products.”

Attorney Robert Eglet added “Women trust pharmaceutical companies to prioritize their health, and if that trust is broken, we are here to help them seek justice.”

Claims

Pfizer, the manufacturer of Depo-Provera and Depo-SubQ Provera, failed to warn women the injections would increase their risk of developing a meningioma (brain tumor).

Pfizer was aware of those risks for but failed to share that information with doctors, medical professionals, and failed to warn patients.

Symptoms include aphasia (difficulty speaking or communicating), double or blurry vision, seizures, headaches that are worse in the morning, hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), memory loss, loss of smell, and weakness in the arms or legs.

Surgical removal is the primary treatment, but can lead to seizure disorders, brain injury, permanent cognitive impairment, depression, and, possibly, death.
