Important Safety Information

Hormone therapy isn't right for all women, and it doesn't prevent heart disease. Hormone therapy may increase your chance of heart attack, stroke, breast cancer, blood clots, or dementia, and should be taken at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time based on your goals and risks. If you have a uterus, estrogens increase the risk of uterine cancer. Adding a progestin greatly reduces this risk. The use of estrogens and progestins should be reevaluated regularly with your health care professional. If you're not having symptoms, non-estrogen treatments should be considered before starting therapy to prevent bone loss.
