Used Prempro?

Our DC and Boston Injury Lawyers Hold Drug Companies Responsible for Injuries

Prempro™ is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) drug intended to treat symptoms of menopause. While Prempro™ has been proven to decrease occurrences of hip fractures and colorectal cancer, the drug was found to pose serious health risks in 2002 by a study known as the Women’s Health Initiative. Researchers found Prempro patients were more susceptible to strokes, heart attacks and breast cancer. If you have been injured due to these Prempro™ injuries, our Washington DC or Boston injury attorney may be able to help.

Despite a constant debate over the benefits of hormone replacement therapy, many women rely on Prempro™ to ease the discomfort associated with menopause. After the Women’s Health Initiative discovered the drug’s risks outweighed its benefits, its study was discontinued. Subsequently, the American Heart Association and the Journal of the American Medical Association officially requested the termination of its usage.

If you have experienced the harmful side effects of Prempro™ or other HRT drugs, contact a Boston or Washington DC injury lawyer at Pollack & Flanders, LLP, today to discuss your legal options.
