It's About Time! FDA stops villainizing hormones!

Benefits of Hormones Replacement Therapy include a reduced risk of all-cause mortality and fractures. HRT has also been associated with 50% reduction in heart attack risk, 64% reduction in cognitive decline, and 35% lower risk of Alzheimer’s.

An analysis of 30 trials with 26,708 women participants found HRT was not associated with increased cancer mortality. In fact, women who start HRT before age 60 appear to have a decreased mortality risk.

Removal of “Black Box” Warnings

The FDA is requesting that companies make changes to the labeling to provide current, accurate and balanced information about the benefits and risks of these drugs, so women, in consultation with their healthcare providers, can make the best decisions for their health.

Specifically, the agency is working with companies to update language in product labeling to remove references to risks of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and probable dementia. The FDA is not seeking to remove the boxed warning for endometrial cancer for systemic estrogen-alone products.

Though the starting time of HRT and duration of use are decisions made between the prescriber and the individual patient, the FDA’s labeled recommendation will be to start HRT within 10 years of menopause onset or before 60 years of age for systemic HRT. (NOTE FROM TABETHA -- HORMONES HELP TREMENDOUSLY AFTER AGE 60 and we see it over & over again with patients.

This action follows the FDA’s assessment of the current relevant literature, including a reanalysis of data from younger cohorts of patients who initiated HRT within ten years of the onset of menopause.

The FDA has also approved non-hormonal medication for treating moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms, such as hot flashes.

About time! The FDA’s decision to remove black box warnings from hormone therapy products for menopause and perimenopause marks a historic shift for women’s health—ending decades of fear-based messaging that has kept millions of women from a life-changing treatment. This decision, based on updated scientific evidence, recognizes that earlier research overstated risks and that HRT can actually reduce heart disease when prescribed appropriately.

At Restore Health, we’ve long advocated for evidence-based approaches to hormone optimization. This action by the FDA validates what our provider network has seen firsthand by treating thousands of patients. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can be transformative for managing menopause symptoms and improving the quality of life so often impacted by this change. Together, we can empower women with accurate information and access to personalized hormone therapy solutions.

(from JAMA editorial) “With the exception of antibiotics and vaccines, there may be no medication in the modern world that can improve the health outcomes of older women on a population level more than hormone therapy,” they wrote.

“We are going to stop the fear machine steering women away from this life-changing, even lifesaving, treatment .....The FDA is taking action to remove the black box warnings from estrogen-related products. This is based on a robust review of the latest scientific evidence.”

Black box labels on the medications — which are prescribed to treat menopause symptoms — warn of serious risks like breast cancer and heart attacks, which has discouraged some women from taking them.
