Depo-Provera and Meningioma: What Medical Research Says
Medical research has reported an association between prolonged use of injectable medroxyprogesterone acetate and increased risk of intracranial meningioma. A 2025 JAMA Neurology study using U.S. data also found an increased risk of meningioma diagnosis among users of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate. FDA-approved prescribing information for Depo-Provera CI now includes a meningioma warning and instructs providers to monitor patients and discontinue Depo-Provera CI if meningioma is diagnosed.
