We Got The Scoop On "One of the Biggest Mistakes in Modern Medicine"
Manage episode 518807939 series 2333212
Back in September, we sat down with the head of the FDA, Dr. Marty Makary, to talk about a host of different hot health topics in America.
An area we wanted to focus? Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT.
One of Dr. Makary's first moves as FDA commissioner was to hold a public panel on what he has now called "one of the biggest mistakes in modern medicine" - black box warnings that the U.S. government placed on hormone replacement therapies, that he believes deterred doctors and women from using these medications to treat life-altering symptoms.
Today, the FDA announced, for the first time in decades, it would initiate removing these warnings from HRTs in the hopes of making the treatments more available and accessible to physicians and patients alike.
Here's the entire portion of our interview that focuses on hormone replacement therapies, so you can hear for yourself why Dr. Makary feels so passionately about making a move on this medicine, at this time, for not only American women, but the country at large.
