Birth Control Injection Lawsuit Update: May 2025

Thousands of women are stepping forward after using a long-acting injectable birth-control shot and later being diagnosed with meningiomas—a serious type of brain tumor. McGonigle Law is currently representing victims in the growing federal MDL (multidistrict litigation) consolidated in Florida under MDL-3140.

If you or someone you love received the injectable birth-control shot and later experienced neurological issues or a brain-tumor diagnosis, you should contact us right away.

What Is the Injectable Birth-Control Shot?

This shot, whose active ingredient is medroxyprogesterone acetate, was marketed as a convenient contraceptive that needed to be administered only every three months. Recent lawsuits and medical studies, however, have uncovered a disturbing link between long-term use of the injection and the development of brain tumors known as intracranial meningiomas.

Allegations Against Pfizer

Pfizer is accused of failing to adequately warn patients and doctors of the potential neurological risks associated with the shot. Plaintiffs claim that prolonged use significantly increases the risk of meningioma—a danger they were never told about until it was too late.

Common Symptoms and Side Effects Reported

• Headaches

• Vision problems

• Memory loss

• Dizziness or balance issues

• Seizures

• Brain-tumor diagnosis
