FDA Alerts

  • Estrogens increase the risk of endometrial cancer in postmenopausal women. (See Endometrial Cancer under Cautions.)
  • Do not use estrogens with or without progestins for prevention of cardiovascular disease (see Cardiovascular Risk Reduction under Uses and Cardiovascular Disorders under Cautions) or dementia (see Alzheimer's Disease under Uses).
  • The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study of estrogen alone reported increased risks of stroke and DVT in postmenopausal women receiving approximately 7 years of therapy with conjugated estrogens 0.625 mg daily.
  • The WHI study of estrogen plus progestin reported increased risks of MI, stroke, invasive breast cancer, pulmonary embolism, and DVT in postmenopausal women receiving >5 years of therapy with conjugated estrogens 0.625 mg in conjunction with medroxyprogesterone acetate 2.5 mg daily.
  • The WHI Memory Study (WHIMS) reported increased risk of developing probable dementia in postmenopausal women ≥65 years of age receiving long-term therapy (4–5 years) with conjugated estrogens in conjunction with medroxyprogesterone acetate or conjugated estrogen alone. Not known whether this finding also applies to younger postmenopausal women.
  • Other dosages of conjugated estrogens with medroxyprogesterone and other combinations or dosage forms of estrogens with progestin not studied in WHI trials; in absence of comparable data, assume risks are similar.
  • Prescribe estrogens (with or without progestins) at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman.
