For decades, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was the treatment of choice for women seeking relief from menopause symptoms. Under recommendations from HRT drug manufacturers, doctors even began prescribing HRT drugs to prevent heart disease, breast cancer, and osteoporosis. However, it was never tested for effectiveness or safety in these uses. Unfortunately, recent studies have shown that HRT actually increases the possibility of heart disease and cancer. As a result of the widespread use of HRT drugs, such as Prempro, Premphase, Premarin, FemHRT, Ortho-Prefest, and Activella , as many as 6 million women were harmed.

Startling Statistics: The Dangers of HRT
Many serious side effects have been linked with hormone replacement therapy. For instance, studies have shown that HRT drugs increase the risk of blood clots and dementia by 200 percent. More troubling, however, is the link that has been discovered between HRT and breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke. The Women's Health Initiative found:
- 29% increased risk of heart attacks
- 26% increased risk of breast cancer
- 40% increased of stroke
The study also showed that HRT increased the risk of Alzheimer's disease, depression, and urinary incompetence .
Because of inadequate drug testing, these dangers were not known until millions of women had already taken the drugs. Consequently, thousands of women may have developed breast cancer or heart disease without ever knowing that HRT drugs were to blame.
