Dangerous Drugs - Prempro

Missouri Prempro Side Effects Attorney

The debate surrounding whether or not women should undergo hormone replacement therapy during menopause has exposed the science of epidemiology as significantly damaged and lacking in true scientific vigor. Based on flimsy epidemiological data, national health advisory agencies across the country urged women in their 50s and 60s to undergo hormone replacement therapy as a prophylactic measure to prevent heart disease, cancer, and other diseases of senescence.

However, federally funded studies by the Women's Health Institute and the Heart and Estrogen Progestin Replacement Study (HERS) both found that women who took the Prempro hormone replacement drug ended up suffering significantly higher risks for developing cancer, heart disease, blood clots, strokes, and other issues. Just three years into the trial for Prempro, the authors of the study were so alarmed that they discontinued the study and asked their patients to stop taking the drug.

Designed by Wyeth Laboratories, Prempro was originally prescribed as an antidote to the hot flashes and ups and down associated with menopause. Since the WHI and HERS studies, additional studies have come out warning of the potential dangers of Prempro therapy (particularly when taken in combination with other drugs, like Provera and Premarin).
