Depo Provera: Is there an increased risk of cancer?

Depo Provera health risks include breast cancer and osteoporosis.

Depo Provera Contraceptive Injective (CI) was developed in the 1960s and had been approved for birth control in many other countries except the United States. The Upjohn Company (now Pfizer) first submitted it for approval in the United States in the in the 1970s. At that time animal studies raised questions about its potential to cause breast cancer.

It wasn’t until 1992 that the FDA approved DEPO PROVERA for U.S. use. According to the FDA memo, it said that worldwide studies have since found the overall risk of cancer, including breast cancer in humans, to be minimal, if any.
