After years of working with women through perimenopause and menopause, this update feels long overdue.
The FDA has officially removed the black box warning from hormone therapy, a label that shaped fear, confusion, and hesitation for over two decades.
I’ve met countless women who delayed treatment, lived with hot flashes, anxiety, sleep issues, and declining quality of life… all because of outdated data from an older study that has since been re-evaluated.
This change matters. It reflects what newer evidence has shown for years: when prescribed correctly, hormone therapy can be safe, effective, and life-changing for the right patient.
It’s a step forward for women’s health, and for informed, evidence-based care.
If you’ve been unsure about hormone therapy, this may be the right moment to revisit the conversation.
