Provera Drug Information, including Provera Lawsuits

Information provided by Provera Lawyers at Cappolino, Dodd & Krebs, LLP

Provera is an injectable birth-control drug for women that contains a hormone similar to progesterone, which occurs naturally in the body during the second week of the menstrual cycle. One injection of Provera protects the woman from pregnancy for three months by slowly releasing the hormone, inhibiting the production of eggs. Although it is shown to be effective for many women, Provera side effects can be very dangerous. Besides weight gain, irregular menstrual cycles, and bleeding, which can be harmful, the drug is also linked to breast cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis; this discovery has led to the potential for Provera lawsuits. If you or a loved one was injured after using Provera, you may have grounds for an Provera lawsuit; please contact a Provera lawyer at our law firm today for a free consultation.
