Prempro™

"Women should stop taking a popular form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), doctors warn. The warning applies to Prempro as well as to other oral, high-dose combinations of estrogen and progestin.

A huge clinical trial of Prempro -- the Women's Health Initiative -- came to a screeching halt on May 31. Plans to continue the trial until 2005 have been scrapped. Five-year data show that Prempro increases a woman's risk of breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke. The trial predicts that one in 100 women will have a bad outcome from long-term Prempro use. These risks are small, but they outweigh the drug's benefits of reduced hip fracture and colon-cancer risk."

About Prempro™

Prempro™ is a hormone replacement therapy that contains estrogen and progestin. Prempro™ is prescribed to women to relieve menopausal symptoms such as mood swings, hot flashes, sleep disturbance, vaginal dryness and urinary symptoms.

Side Effects

There is growing evidence that Prempro™ may cause serious side effects such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and stroke. Some doctors feel that these risks outweigh the drug's benefits of reduced hip fracture and colon-cancer risk.
