Important Safety Information
Serious Warnings & Precautions
Estrogen-alone therapy may increase the risk of endometrial cancer in women with a uterus. The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study reported an increased risk of stroke and deep vein thrombosis in postmenopausal women receiving estrogen plus progestin therapy. An increased risk of breast cancer was also observed with estrogen plus progestin therapy. Estrogen-alone therapy did not increase the risk of stroke or deep vein thrombosis in the WHI study, but did increase the risk of stroke in some studies. Discuss these risks with your clinician before starting treatment.
