WARNINGS
CARDIOVASCULAR AND OTHER RISKS
Estrogens with progestins should not be used for the prevention of
cardiovascular disease or
dementia. (See CLINICAL STUDIES and WARNINGS, Cardiovascular Disorders
and Dementia.)
The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) estrogen plus progestin substudy
reported increased risks
of myocardial infarction, stroke, invasive breast cancer, pulmonary
emboli, and deep vein
thrombosis (DVT) in postmenopausal women (50 to 79 years of age)
during 5.6 years of treatment
with daily oral conjugated estrogens (CE 0.625 mg) combined with
medroxyprogesterone acetate
(MPA 2.5 mg) relative to placebo. (See CLINICAL STUDIES and WARNINGS,
Cardiovascular
Disorders and Malignant Neoplasms, Breast Cancer.)
The Women’s Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS), a substudy of
the WHI study, reported
increased risk of developing probable dementia in postmenopausal women
65 years of age or
older during 4 years of treatment with daily CE 0.625 mg combined with
MPA 2.5 mg, relative to
placebo. It is unknown whether this finding applies to younger
postmenopausal women. (See
CLINICAL STUDIES and WARNINGS, Dementia, and PRECAUTIONS, Geriatric
Use.)
In the absence of comparable data, these risks should be assumed to be
similar for other doses of
CE and MPA and other combinations and dosage forms of estrogens and
progestins. Because of
these risks, estrogens with or without progestins should be prescribed
at the lowest effective
doses and for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals
and risks for the individual
woman.
