Major news in the hormone and menopause world…
The FDA is removing the black box warning from hormone replacement therapies (HRTs) for menopause.
The decision follows a comprehensive scientific review and represents the first major reassessment of HRT safety in more than 2 decades!
The removal is based on an updated FDA review of HRT that shows it reduces cardiovascular disease by 30%-50%, Alzheimer’s by 35% and bone fractures by 50%-60%.
This is a following the FDA’s early 2000s decision to apply a black box label warning on HRT for menopause symptom management, citing the results of the Women’s Health Initiative study, which said HRT increased the risk of breast cancer diagnoses.
