WARNING
Estrogens and progestogens should not be used for the prevention of
cardiovascular disease or dementia.
The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study reported increased risks
of myocardial infarction, stroke, invasive
breast cancer, pulmonary emboli, and deep vein thrombosis in
postmenopausal women (50 to 79 years of age)
during 5 years of treatment with conjugated estrogens (0.625 mg)
combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate
(2.5 mg) relative to placebo (see Section 5.1 Pharmacodynamic
properties– Clinical trials and Section 4.4 Special
warnings and precautions for use).
The WHI study reported increased risks of stroke and deep vein
thrombosis in postmenopausal women (50 to
79 years of age) during 6.8 years of treatment with conjugated
estrogens (0.625 mg) relative to placebo (see Section
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties- Clinical trials and Section 4.4
Special warnings and precautions for use).
The Women’s Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS), a sub-study of
WHI, reported increased risk of
developing probable dementia in postmenopausal women 65 years of age
or older during 4 to 5.2 years of treatment
with conjugated estrogens, with or without medroxyprogesterone
acetate, relative to placebo. It is unknown
whether this finding applies to younger postmenopausal women (see
