FDA Pulls Warning Labels From Hormone Replacement Therapies
Manage episode 519417388 series 1504386
Hormone replacement therapies (HRTs) used to treat menopause symptoms no longer need to carry strict warnings about some potential side effects, including cancer and heart disease, the US Food and Drug Administration announced Monday. Commissioner Marty Makary said the agency is asking drugmakers to remove the strict black box warnings, with the goal of encouraging more women to take them. Labels on the medicines currently list potential side effects including cardiovascular disease, blood clots, breast cancer and dementia.
Fanny Elahi, MD, PhD is a physician-scientist and Associate Professor in the Departments of Neurology, Neuroscience, and Pathology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. Dr. Elahi discusses the implications of this move and the importance of such therapies, particularly for women approaching menopause, with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.
