| Prempro™ Information |
| Prempro™ Uses Prempro™ is a popular form of Hormone Replacement Therapy that combines the hormones estrogen and progestin into one pill. Prempro™ is used to mitigate menopause symptoms. Menopause normally occurs between ages 40 and 58, at which time women produce significantly less estrogen than previously. This reduction of estrogen can lead to a variety of troublesome symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness. Women take Prempro™ after menopause to help reduce all of these symptoms and to minimize the chances of osteoporosis (weakening of the bones). Prempro™ Side Effects Some of most significant Prempro™ side effects are breast pain and enlargement, vaginitis, leg cramps, vaginal spotting and bleeding, and painful menstruation. Why Prempro™ May Be Recalled In addition to the side effects listed above, some studies have linked Prempro™ to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, stroke, blood clots, pulmonary embolisms, lupus, invasive breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. Prempro™ use has been associated with the following:
In other words, instead of preserving health and preventing disease, Prempro™ may potentially harm otherwise perfectly healthy women. Ultimately, Prempro™ may be recalled if the FDA rules that the drug’s risks significantly outweigh its benefits. |
