Why are doctors urging the FDA to remove the black‑box warning on certain menopause hormone therapies?
Symptoms of menopause can include a wide variety of things, like hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disruption. Hormone therapy can help, but doctors and researchers have debated over the last few decades whether this treatment increases cancer risk. That's why some prescriptions come with a black box safety warning. Now, experts are asking the FDA to remove it for some kinds of treatments that have been shown to be safe. Joanne Pinkerton is an obstetrician and professor at the University of Virginia.
I am begging the FDA and all of us are begging please remove the box label.
It's not clear when or if the label will be removed. Katie Riddle, NPR News.
