"The Risks of breast cancer, stroke, heart attack, and blood clots outweigh the benefits for bones. And we have other drugs we can use to prevent osteoporosis."

 

On July 9th, 2002 the National Institues of Health (NIH) announced that long-term use of estrogen and progestin significantly increase the risk of invasive breast cancer, blood clots, and heart attacks. At the time of the announcement over 38% of post menopausal American women were on some sort of hormone replacement therapy, and over 70 million prescriptions had already been written for that year.

Women who used Hormone replacements such as Prempro, Provera, or a combination of estrogren, progestin, and premarin are at risk for:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On July 9th, 2002 the National Insitutes of Health released the Women's Health Initiative study showing that long-term use of Prempro and other estrogen and progestin drugs leads to an increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease, blood clots, and strokes. For this reason the NIH ended the study abruptly three years early.

Over the past 40 years physicians have recommended women take Prempro and other similar drugs for their mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, and for their overall health. However, now with the results of the recent Women's Health Initiative as well as those of subsequent studies, physicians have noticed that Hormone Replacement Therapy isn't right for every woman. They now can properly advise their patients about the risks, benefits, and alternatives to hormone replacement therapy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When women reach menopause their production of certain female hormones - such as estrogen and progesterone - slows down causing uncomfortable feelings to occur because of the fluctuation of hormone levels. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is intended to provide these hormones which their bodies no longer produce. Most HRT drugs are made from estrogen, progestin, or a combination of both.

 

Estrogen brings changes of female sex characteristics to the body's organs, and Progesterone prepares the uterus for pregnancy every month.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Hormone Replacement Therarpy study found that women taking a combination of estrogen and progestin were found to be at three times a greater risk for ovarian cancer than those on placebos. The study analyzed trial data collected from the Women's Health Initiative study.

 

Hormone replacement therapies which use a combination of estrogen and progestin have been shown to increase stroke risk by 41%, heart attack risk by 29%, and breast cancer risk by 26%.
