The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has lifted its most severe warning from hormonal therapies used to treat menopause symptoms, following a review that found no evidence supporting the claim that estrogen prevents chronic diseases. The black box warning, which had been in place since 2003, had discouraged many women from seeking treatment for hot flashes and vaginal dryness. While hormone therapy remains effective for managing these symptoms and delaying bone loss, it is not a miracle drug for anti-aging or chronic disease prevention. The removal of the warning is a positive step, but women are still advised to consult with their doctors about their individual health needs.
