There are an estimated 6 million women taking the prescription drug Prempro. Prempro is a leading Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) drug that combines estrogen and progestin into one pill. It is prescribed to treat women experiencing menopausal symptoms that include mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and osteoporosis.

When first released, it was believed that Prempro could relieve menopausal symptoms, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and heart complications. Subsequent studies have revealed troubling side effects and risks associated with Prempro. Some of these dangers include increased risk of heart attack, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, blood clots, and stroke. Learn more about Prempro Dangers >

For almost 40 years, women have been encouraged to take drugs like Prempro to relieve menopausal symptoms – yet these drugs were recommended on unreliable medical evidence. Wyeth pharmaceutical company, who is the manufacturer of Prempro, has no plans to recall the drug. Prempro brings almost $1.4 billion in revenue to Wyeth’s coffer each year.

In response to the Prempro controversy, Wyeth, maker of Prempro, has issued new guidelines that caution against its long-term use and has reduced the drug’s recommended dosage by half. Unfortunately, it may be too little too late for the many women who have suffered adverse effects. Unsafe prescription drugs have been marketed without comprehensive testing or have inadequate warning labels. Multiple medical organizations have issued statements urging women to avoid using combined estrogen-progestin therapy (HRT / Prempro) if at all possible.
