Depo-Provera is a popular form of injectable birth control known for its convenience and effectiveness in preventing pregnancy in women. It is administered every 3 months and works by stopping ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the lining of the uterus. The drug is manufactured by Pfizer and contains a synthetic hormone called medroxyprogesterone acetate.

Recently, Pfizer has faced many class action lawsuits for the administration of Depo-Provera, as many users of the birth control claim that severe side effects of the drug were withheld from the public.

Depo-Provera can lead to a number of side effects. It’s important to be aware of these side effects as they can help you make an informed decision and take legal action if needed. If you have used Depo-Provera for over two years, it could raise the risk of osteoporosis, which could increase the likelihood of bone fractures and injuries. Some other health risks linked to Depo-Provera include:

• Increased risk of breast cancer
• Depression and mental health problems
• Blood clots and strokes
• Significant weight gain 
• Irregular periods 
• Infertility
