The drugmaker Pfizer faces a US lawsuit brought on behalf of women who developed brain tumours, which they say are linked to their use of the company’s contraceptive injection Depo-Provera.
The class action lawsuit alleges that the US pharmaceutical company failed to warn women and doctors about an increased risk of developing an intracranial meningioma if Depo-Provera, a quarterly injection, is used for more than a year.
