If you have taken any of the various hormone replacement treatments or therapy’s such as: Estrogen, Progestin, Prempro or premphase there is a chance that you may be injured by life threatening side effects.

Recently experts have found that nearly six million American women could be adversely affected by hormone replacement therapy, menopausal treatments, and estrogen replacement therapy side effects.

The nations largest study involving 16,000 women came to an abrupt end when new data showed the use of hormone replacement therapy and estrogen replacement therapy significantly increases the risks of breast cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots.

The trial was the first and only large study comparing the effects of hormone replacement and estrogen replacement therapy with placebos in healthy women. The Women’s Health Initiative study results were released early because of the impact of the results that could affect the six million American women on hormone replacement therapy.

Up until the results of the study were released, medical authorities were telling doctors to encourage almost every single woman that had not had a hysterectomy to start taking hormone replacement therapy when reaching menopause. The estrogen-progestin combination had been a common prescription for decades leaving many questioning how it took so long for long-term hormone replacement therapy side effects to be discovered.
