Vigna Law Group: Depo-Provera Meningioma Claim Filed in Alameda County, California

Dr. Greg Vigna

Case: 25CV151521

Medical literature links continued Depo-Provera use after meningioma resection to higher recurrence, raising physician and manufacturer liability concerns

We filed this case because drug was not only prescribed before our client's meningioma diagnosis, but also continued after surgical removal of the tumor.”

— Greg Vigna, MD, JD

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- “At some point, physicians can be held liable for prescribing Depo-Provera when there are alternative birth control medications that do not cause mutations that lead to brain tumors. The literature on this is clear,” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national malpractice, Depo-Provera attorney.

Dr. Greg Vigna, MD, JD, says, “We filed this case because drug was not only prescribed before our client's meningioma diagnosis, but also continued after surgical removal of the tumor. We allege that our client’s injuries were further exacerbated by the ongoing prescription, resulting in additional harm." (Case: 25CV151521, Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Alameda).

Dr. Vigna continues, “Clearly, women who are newly diagnosed and have a history of recent use should have their cases closely reviewed to determine whether their claims may be more appropriately filed against both the prescribing physician and the manufacturer of Depo-Provera or an authorized generic in state court where the injury occurred.“

What does the literature say about continued use of Depo-Provera after resection?

Read Dr. Tessa Harland's report in “Progesterone-only contraception is associated with a shorter progression-free survival in premenopausal women with WHO Grade I meningioma” published in the Journal of Neuro-oncology (2018) 136:327-333?:

"Compared to patients taking combination or estrogen-only contraception, those taking progesterone-only contraception demonstrated a greater recurrence rate (33.3 vs. 19.6%) with a reduced time to recurrence (18 vs. 32 months, p = 0.038) … those taking progesterone-only contraception.”

Dr. Vigna concludes, “There have always been safer medications for contraception than Depo-Provera. This is a drug that causes specific mutations to women’s DNA."
