Depo-Provera, a contraceptive injection containing medroxyprogesterone acetate, has been widely used as a long-acting birth control method. However, it has been linked to serious health risks, including osteoporosis, irreversible bone density loss, and an increased risk of certain cancers, as well as a range of other adverse effects such as weight gain, mood disorders, and decreased libido. These risks have led to numerous mass tort cases involving thousands of plaintiffs, including women who experienced severe side effects, alleging that manufacturers such as Pfizer failed to adequately warn about the long-term dangers associated with Depo-Provera.
